BUILD BABY BUILD!!!! ,   United States   (06.30.13)
Egyptian PM to be toppled due to the Islamic Pharaoh complex. Seems each leader of Egypt thinks he's a Pharaoh -god replete with the Egyptian god like command of the people and the laws. The people don't agree, they've seen real democracy from TV and they wont settle for some cheap imitation of real justice or real democracy in the guise of a total dictatorship wrapped in obama's okay. ISRAEL KEEP BUILDING !!! It's your future.

5. Can someone explain?

What exactly do the Egyptians want? Israel has nothing to do with Morsi and as I recall we had a 'peaceful' relationship with Mubarak. So why burn our flag? They're against the Muslim Brotherhood now so are they pushing for an anti-Islamic president? Really confused by this second 'civil war' in a matter of 2 years.

7. democracy egyptian style
zionist forever   (06.30.13)
Take to the streets demanding democracy. Get democracy and elect a government by a large majority. Government doesn't do what you want or do and do it quickly enough then the solution is to take to the streets to get rid of the elected government so you can elect anothe and hope the new one does better and if not well can always demonstrate again. The arabs seem to thrive dictators, they don't always like the dictator but as long as they tow the line they will be ok and have a good enough life. Everytime they do or try to got rid of a dictator their society implodes and they start killing each other randomly in the streets.

once you read the Koran, it will start to make sense Muslims are happeist when they are beaten into submission.....thats how Sadaam Hussein did it in Iraq
9. Masrena! Our Egypt. Take it back from Morsi. FREE Egypt.

10. Not all Egyptians hate Israel/US.
Koose E Mack ,   NY USA   (06.30.13)
As someone who meets and works with visiting Egyptians and Egyptian Ex-Patriots living in the US...I can tell you that every one I've spoken to hates Morsi and understands that Israel has nothing to do with their current predicament. Morsi won the election because the Muslim Brotherhood corrupted the election process. The majority of Egyptians did not vote for him! As to what the majority of Egyptians want: A Secular Government, food on the table, jobs, electricity, water, decent schools....In essence, what any one of us wants. The pro Morsi crowd hates Israel and the West...Obama made a great mistake supporting Morsi!

I am not sure the Egyptians themselves know what they want. Just a year ago they elected Morsi by a large majority. Now they are not happy with the fact that in just one year he hasn't solved all the countries problems so they want him out. The blaming it on Israel well thats natural, if they didn't like the weather they would find an excuse to blame it on Israel. I would be very worried if they were not blaming it all on Israel.
12. Religion
observer ,   usa   (07.01.13)
The strife in the middle east will continue until religion ceases to be the major driving force there. Religion is divisive by nature. It separates people into believers of one "faith" over all others. This inevitably produces conflict. Moreover, clinging to beliefs against the onslaught of contrary evidence is, to put it mildly, unwise. Solution? For people to start to realize that we're sharing this rock together, regardless of what we want to believe, and we'd all be better served by adopting the pursuit of reality in place of clinging to and spreading of dogma. As a species, we're long overdue to graduate from our adolescence. It may take many generations, but it is ultimately the only way to alleviate these ridiculous hatreds and conflicts, and the resulting spilling of blood. Think about it: how would our petty conflicts appear to an outside observer - an alien race of intelligent beings, a god or gods of some sort, call it what you will. Even given our own limited intelligence and understanding, if even hypothetically we remove our perspective from immersion in the chaos down here, we can clearly see that our ways do not exemplify even our own ideals, much less those of some imagined advanced intelligence.
