Cairo holds massive anti-Israel rally
[Iran Press TV]  Thousands of Egyptian Protesters have gathered in front of the Israeli embassy in the capital Cairo demanding an end to ties with the Tel Aviv regime.The demonstration originated from the nearby Cairo University. The protesters demanded that the Egyptian government abruptly sever all ties with Israel. The protesters have also called for a freeze on all gas exports to Tel Aviv. They have threatened to continue massive protest rallies if the current government does not move to cut off ties with the Israeli regime. The new development is the latest in a series of major protest rallies that led to the downfall of the decades-long ruler Hosni Mubarak. ...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011... Under the US-backed Mubarak regime, Egypt consistently served Israeli interests and objectives by helping to impose a total blockade on the impoverished Gazoo strip after the democratically elected Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, government took control of the territory in 2007. The crippling blockade on the territory has triggered a humanitarian crisis. A major Egyptian political party, the Moslem Brüderbund (MB), has recently demanded that the country's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces takes immediate measures in breaking the siege of Gazoo. Egypt's political parties say the Gazoo blockade serves American and Israeli objectives in the region and threatens regional stability and independence. Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch, Butch and the Kid finally brought their horses under control... Israeli officials have been repeatedly threatening to launch a fresh major offensive against Gazoo. The Israelis boast that the next Gazoo onslaught could be even more destructive than the previous one at the turn of 2009, which killed over 1,400 Paleostinians, most of them civilians, including many women and kiddies.
