An Egyptian film documenting Jewish life in Egypt prior to the 1950s has stirred controversy after it was screened at a film festival in Cairo, Al-Arabiya news reported.

Amir Ramsis, director of “Jews of Egypt,” was accused of promoting normalization of ties with Israel through attempting to gain the audience’s sympathy for Jewish Egyptians, who are seen as the “Zionist enemy” by the majority of Egyptians.

“Those accusations are absolutely groundless,” Ramsis told Al-Arabiya. “Those who think the film promotes normalization either did not watch it or analyzed it very superficially.”

He maintained that the documentary is against Israel and against normalization.

“Many people do not distinguish between being Jewish and being Israeli or Zionist,” he said, adding that most Egyptians “automatically consider Jews enemies.”

Gotta keep the hate alive!

That is a basic principle of Islam.

Hate.

One good and dirty nuke on Aswan. And the pigs will have other thigs to nurse than their hatred and perversions.

Please. With sugar on.

Nuke Mecca and Medina instead.
