Sadly, Olive, there’s a lot of misconceptions and unknown details about the Middle East, even among well-meaning progressives.

“…..whether through religion or hate ”

The person who wrote this does know that Egypt is a secular (and increasingly militantly secular) police state, right?

CUPW has quite supportive of Palestinian rights and critical of Israeli oppressive tactics. CUPW even suggested a boycott of Israeli academics being allowed at Canadian Universities, which are beein targeted by CJC, B’nai Brith and other pro-Israeli groups.

Funny–instead of putting the spotlight on the nature of Israel, it’s shining on Egypt.
Nice to know where your surplus tax dollars go, and for what, in either case, huh?

Joking about surplus of course. We be the biggest debtor nation, huh.

And while protesters are peacefully marching, Israel sends its tanks and bulldozers into Gaza and shells it with its warships. link to arabnews.com

Three Israeli tanks accompanied by two bulldozers on Thursday rolled into eastern Al-Maghazi refugee camp in the central of the Gaza Strip, witnesses said.

They said that the tanks and bulldozers rolled 300 meters into the area and started to raze farmlands surrounding Al-Maghazi. No one was injured during the incursion.

Separately, Al-Nasser brigades the military wing of the Popular Resistance Committee, said in a statement that their fighters clashed with Israeli forces in northern Gaza Strip for three hours on Thursday.

In the statement, the brigades said the Israeli troops were “sneaking into Al-Ghoul area northwest of Beit Lahiya” and were surprised by an attack from Al-Nasser fighters. An exchange of fire took place from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m., and the troops pulled out. There were no injures reported.

An Israeli military spokeswoman said that three armed gunmen opened fire on an Israeli patrol operating near the security fence in the northern Gaza Strip. She added that a warship and the soldiers on the ground opened fire toward the armed Palestinian men.

For sure, Egypt is being pressured by Israel. Netanyahu is dangling the carrot of Egypt playing a role in another round of peace talks. However, I read it that Egypt is afraid of people power. This is unfolding on the streets of Cairo. All of Egypt is watching. What if word gets out that a couple of thousand protesters can force the hand of the government?
