1. Well .....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.03.13)
At least al-Sissi knows what's best for Egypt, and is taking serious steps to implement it. Israel will not tolerate terrorist activity stemming from the Sinai directed at Israel. al-Sissi understands that the only way that Egypt can hang on to the Sinai is to put an end to terrorist attacks upon Israel. That is what happened today. Those houses doubtless contained women and children. I wonder how the international community will react. Something tells me that they won't. Not at all. It's only worthy of a response if Israel conducts a raid. That's pretty hypocritical. It is also everything that one has come to expect from the rest of the world. If Arabs attack and kill terrorists -- shrug your shoulders. If Israel attacks and kills terrorists determined to destroy Israel -- well, that's a huge fricken' war crime, right? I appreciate Egypt's gesture. The rest of the world can go hang.

3. The world needs a Coptic State in East Egypt.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (09.03.13)
23 fictitious Islamic states were created that never existed 100 years ago - why not a Coptic state for the original Egyptian inhabitants?
4. "Militants"? TERRORISTS!

Fed up with the suicidal so-called "political correctness"! WHAT ABOUT FACTS? PC feeds stupidity and lies, and prevents REALL, PRACTICAL, SOLUTIONS TO REAL PROBLEMS. PC also encourages enemies.

Sissi is in trouble now. Goldstone, Betzelem, Shovrim Shtika and the Israeli High Court will be accusing him of war crimes.

BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (09.03.13)
That's the bottom line. Thankfully, Egypt is doing the right thing. The fewer terrorists the better for all. BUILD MORE JEWISH HOMES!!!
8. Waiting for the world outrage...
Carl ,   USA   (09.03.13)
Fifteen people killed in 3 destroyed houses and a mosque! Gosh, if that doesn't get the world's attention for this brutal Egyptian military regime I can't imagine what will. Of course, the "victims" were Muslim Brotherhood terrorists undoubtedly engaged in planning or carrying out terrorist activities, but who cares about that when "people died" at the hands of a military. Can't wait for the Sinai flotilla operation to begin...
