“Hamas is failing.”
As long as they have a safe haven in Palestine, they will be an issue. They’re not failing, they accomplished what they were after.
Terrorist groups don’t care how many they lose or how much property is destroyed. That’s short term. As long as they can do harm, and their people can get their 72 virgins, they will live to play later. And they will still be the head of the government the Palestinial people elected. They rebuild, and do it all over again. The faces may be different, but their agenda is still the same. The snake goes to another hole even of it is within the same area they were in. Until they are cut off from weapons and supplies, they will be back. And the only way to do that is what was attempted in Iraq. Take out their government and replace it with one that will replace the false promises of a terrorist group. That ain’t easy. But you shouldn’t throw out the baby with the bath water either.

Surprised to read the other day Gaza was offered up to Egypt during the Camp David Accords and Anwar Sadat said no thanks.
What is interesting is that at the start of the 1900s, there were 2 competing philosophies:
Pan Arabism
Pharoanism
Pharoanism i.e. emphasizing native Egyptian nationalism arguing for the existence of an Egyptian national continuity from ancient times to the modern era, stressing the role of ancient Egypt and incorporating anti-colonial sentiment.
By the 4th century, the majority of the Egyptians had converted to Christianity and in 535 the Roman Emperor Justinian ordered the Temple of Isis at Philae closed, which marked the formal end of the ancient religion of Egypt
This was condemned by the Muslim brotherhood and others who saw the glorification of Egypt’s ancient history as glorification of pre-Islamic world views and evil.
“the authority of her Islamic institutions may help to moderate Islam and undermine the Muslim Brotherhood.”
?????
Why would you think that?
the MB are and were only proposing what is standard Islam. Not extremist, but what is seen in the Hadiths and Sirah
Back in ‘53, Egypt had unilaterally annexed Ghaza. The Muslim Brotherhood was still jailed at that time, so hadn’t infiltrated Ghaza yet. When Sadat freed their heads, they had him killed for making a peace agreement with Israel. But apparently, he only wanted the dessert part of the Sinai, and to have Israel forcibly evacuate Yamit.
They are from Jordan.
They cause so much trouble in Jordan the ran them off.
No country in the East want anything to do with them except Iran, and Iran only uses them to cause trouble elsewhere. Same with Hezbollah, nothing but trouble for everyone.
Lebanese know them for the same crap. Hate, murder, torture and death.
And now we have some of these vermin and their useful idiot converts in the USA.
There is only one end to this. And both will be destroyed.
The Muslim Brotherhood is only tolerated in a few countries now.
Egypt is not a threat to their neighbors. They have been good allies for quite a while.
The head of the Egyptian highest court today, is a Coptic Christian.
I have a good and trusted friend in Cairo who is also.
And another younger friend near Cairo. He is an author, is married to Christian wife. I’ve never asked him if he is a convert. Suspect he is, but there is danger discussing such things even in Egypt.
Another friend ran a blog before Morsi came to power. She is married to a man from Netherlands. And was very active during the removal of Morsi.
Egypt is one of the few nations I would like to visit. Doubt I ever do, but it is interesting.
“ok smartass, how did they get there?”
“They are from Jordan.”
So the IDF escorted the weapons from Jordan to Gaza ?
ALL ISLAM is murderous terrorist
Over the years, for pragmatic reasons, the current Egyptian government and security establishment have often applied pressure on their Islamic scholars to align against the Muslim Brotherhood. Indeed, the Egyptian government today scorns Hamas and wants to remain at peace with Israel.
Hamas is evil the left is trying to make them saints!
