Ilan Grapel returned to Israel, to leave Friday for America
2011-10-28
Publicly thanked the Israeli and American officials who got him released and the Egyptian authorities who treated him so well "in accordance to the tenets of their religion," ate a hamburger and French fries with Prime Minister Netanyahu, and prepared to fly home to America with his parents in the morning.

From the comment thread following the article:

Ilan Grapel: "I want to thank the Israeli people..."

Great. You're welcome. Be thankful we only had to release some drug dealers and other criminals trying to undermine Israel to get you out of there, and not 1027 terrorists.

Now, what the heck were you thinking going there in the first place in the middle of their revolution? Did you think that was a smart place for an Israeli American Jew who had served in the IDF to be, in Tahrir Square in Cairo of all places. Your idiocy is astounding. At least, your family must be relieved you're out of there. Tell us, are you thinking of going back to another Arab Muslim country so they can arrest you again on any trumped up charge? Your walking around Tahrir Square with the kipa on your head shows everyone you must be mentally challenged.
