J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (04.01.12)
a nation can't impose diplomatic or economic ties with a nation,who refuses such ties,as long the Egyptians live in misery and are starving,they will hate everybody,Jews,Christians,its hatred that keeps them going,the closing of the Embassy in Egypt wouldn't make a difference,Egypt is not in a position to start a war with Israel,and is doing nothing to stop hamas from attacking Israel from the sinai,an Israeli embassy in Egypt is enraging the overdosed crazies in the Egyptian population.

4. When Israel is in a position to export Gas
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (04.01.12)
Egypt should be the first of the recipients that have their gas supply shut off
5. tom @1, you still have a lot to be proud of, but
leo ,   usa   (04.01.12)
basically you are right.
6. I often wonder if war with Egypt
leo ,   usa   (04.01.12)
would be really that bad for Israel. At very least it will create new buffer zone between two states called Sinai. In addition 50% of proceeds from Suez Canal would not be that bad to have and lastly having Gaza removed as a threat is not so bad either.
7. Obumma could squeeze them but won't.

8. Shut down the embassy, period
EZRA THE PROUD JEW ,   USA-ISRAEL   (04.01.12)
Pay off some egyptian spies and let them gather info. We don't need such relations with these idiots. They're a failed nation with hoards of uneducated thugs roaming the streets. Who needs them?
9. Peace treaty is dead
Maurice ,   Los Angeles, USA   (04.01.12)
Is there any doubt that a war with Egypt is coming? Please this time annex the Sinai immediately and no more land for peace. It has never worked and never will.
10. Egyptian Folly
Andy ,   Canada   (04.01.12)
It should be Egypt's responsibility to provide a building for Israel. They have to have diplomatic relations in order to continue to benefit from the Camp David accords----that is money to the Egyptians and that is generally all they care about anyway. Since the last embassy was poorly defended and since the Egyptian regimes generally incite their people to hate Israel instead of inspiring tolerance---it should be up to them. The joke to anyone who has walked by the Basel Street Egyptian embassy, is how peacefully it is accepted in the middle of an open neighbourhood. Imagine if Israelis acted like the scummy Egyptians. Shame on Egypt.
11. Egyptian Relations
Michael Kavodi ,   Toronto   (04.01.12)
It is incredible and so many people commenting here are so stupid. Relations with Israel, regardless of whether there is an embassy or not, still shows Egyptian recognition and legitimacy of Israel. A cold peace is better than a hot war. True, Egypt does not have the military might to defeat Israel but they could still do a lot of damage and close the Suez Canal once more. People: think before you write your written diarrhea.
12. Another wussy-pussy response from hapless Israel
Harald   (04.01.12)
Instead of razing Cairo to the ground in response as they should have, they are showing weakness, inviting more terror.
13. Michael Kavodi @11, Nothing you said represents
leo ,   usa   (04.01.12)
valid argument. First, peace is the absence of war and if you are for "cold peace" you do not need to make concessions what so ever. You can have that by beating your enemies into submission, which Israel has already done. Second, once Suez was closed for years and the only suffering party was Egypt. Third, most of the people here think before they write and the only diarrhea is coming from you so far.
14. # 12 Michael ! if the Egyptians don't want
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (04.02.12)
relations with Israel,than, to hell with them,the Embassy is only serving as a lightning rod for the Egyptians, who are intoxicated with curanic opium,an embassy in Egypt will not keep the suez canal open for Israel,given Egypt's economic condition,it can't afford to be mischievous despite it's hatred for Israel and the west.
