Blasting Israel, Morsi presents Egypt as Arab champion of Palestinians
2012-11-18
Egypt's Islamist president delivered his fiercest condemnation yet of Israel's offensive in Gazoo on Friday, warning that the blood Israel sheds will be a "curse upon it" and presenting post-revolution Egypt as the new Arab champion for the Paleostinians.
Good luck with that. They've been nothing but a headache for all previous champions, but perhaps it will be different for you.
Mohammed Morsi spoke in a speech at a mosque after weekly Friday prayers, dramatically stepping up his rhetoric against Israel hours after his prime minister visited Gazoo in a show of support for its Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, rulers. After Friday prayers, thousands marched in Cairo in support of Paleostinians.

"Egyptians love peace ... but they have always been able to fend off aggressors and protect the land, the nation and the Moslem world," he said in his address at a mosque near his home in a Cairo suburb. "We are even more insistent on remaining a protective shield to the Arab and Moslem world."

"We say to the aggressor, peace will never be achieved through aggression ... because war does not build stability or peace," Morsi said. "This blood will be a curse on you," he said as the crowd in the mosque chanted, "God is great" and "With our blood and souls, we sacrifice for Paleostine."

"I say to the aggressor to take a lesson from history and stop this farce and bloodshed or else you will face the wrath of the people and their leadership," he said. "Egypt today is different than Egypt yesterday and that the Arabs today are different than the Arabs of yesterday."

#3  As per #2, yuuuuppp - the Paleos unfortunately are caught in the middle of the "Manifest Destinies" = Geopol tug-of-war between a number of their fellow, + larger, Muslim states.

* DEFENCE/PK/FORUMS > POLL: SHOULD EGYPT [immediately?] ANNEX GAZA?

* TOPIX > IS EGYPT PURSUING A NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM? | [The Blaze] PROFESSOR RAYMOND STOCK THINKS EGYPT MAY BE DEVELOPING A NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAMS. Morsi + MB trying to be PCorrect-deniable about it, ee blaming Shia Iran for any Egypt-specific NucProg.

ARTIC > PROF. STOCK = noted that Egypt presently extrapolates + produces 6.0-kilograms of plutonium a year, enough for one NucBomb annually, EGYPT THEORETICALLY COULD HAVE HAD DEV A LARGE NUMBER OF NUCBOMBS ALREADY IFF IT WASN'T FOR THE 1979 PEACE ACCORDS BETWEEN SADAT + BEGIN, + LATER POST-SADAT MUBARAK SIGNING THE NPT.

Professor Stock also denotes that Egypt is now starting to see the former Mubarak Regime in a better or more positive light despite its perceived crimes or abuses.
