Movement that Toppled Morsi Targets Peace Deal with Israel (looking to revoke peace treaty)

Tamarod, the Egyptian movement which led the opposition to ousted President Mohammed Morsi, apparently now has a new target: the peace treaty with Israel.

Egyptian media reported on Saturday that Tamarod, which amassed 22 signatures to a petition demanding Morsi’s departure before the army ousted him in July, is now collecting signatures to a new initiative calling to cancel the peace treaty signed between Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin in 1979.

Tamarod’s latest initiative, according to the reports, comes in the wake of what they called the “unacceptable U.S. interference in Egypt’s political affairs.” The members of the group are demanding that the Israel-Egypt treaty be put to a referendum. …

Ultimately, any war started by Egypt should result in Israel's permanent annexation of the Sinai.

I believe the Bible (Isaiah?) says that very thing will happen.

This is the same bunch that were chanting “To Jerusalem we go, martyrs in the millions” but two years ago; those in that video were not all MB by a long shot (otherwise the MB would never have been deposed—ponder that), and revoking the peace treaty (take note: peace treaty) between Egypt and Israel unshackles Egypt to charge right up to Jerusalem’s door, wherein even considering allowing Egypt’s military into Gaza is suicidal for the Jewish state.

How can one even think that that treaty stops Egypt from dealing with the MB in any way, really? Revocation means the end of Egypt recognizing the state of Israel, in an instant (which is not a vindication for Carter, take note; merely a fact).

Tamarod also wants the sole piece of paper that states that they recognize the state of Israel to be consigned to the past.

If that’s all they need, then the country’s gone more authoritarian than has been previously reported.

John Bolton was right. Its not the islamic extremism the Egyptians have a problem with.

I am concerned about the inroads that the Muslim culture is making here in America.

The FX series, It’s Always Sunni in Philadelphia, seems to make it clear that the Muslim culture is here to stay.

This is interesting. It appears that the Morsi government threw out a lawsuit brought by this Tamrod group back in February calling for an end to the peace treaty with Israel.

Egyptian Court Throws Out Case Calling to End Peace with Israel

While Morsi has repeatedly said he would continue to maintain the peace with Israel and uphold international documents signed by prior Cairo administrations, he has mostly given Israel the cold shoulder since taking office.

In November, Morsi recalled the Egyptian ambassador to Israel in protest of Israel’s counterterrorism Operation Pillar of Defense in Gaza.

Last October, Egypt rejected an Israeli request to upgrade the relations between the countries, after the Jewish State expressed interest in expanding the cooperation between the two countries and raising it to a level of ministerial talks between Defense Minister Ehud Barak and his Egyptian counterpart.

At the same time, security cooperation between the countries has continued and reports last week indicated that Egypt will be sending a security delegation to Israel, for the first time since Morsi’s election.

“If Israel is forced by war to nuke the Aswan dam it will be like flushing a toilet”

Why would Israel do this? If “forced” to use nukes by war, isn’t it more likely that they would nuke Egyptian (American-made) tank formations or something that could impact a battle I presume Israel would be losing. Nuking Aswan would have no effect on a battle being fought in the Sinai or southern Israel.

Yeah, isn’t that a huge mandate? What a ridiculous “news” story.

[SunkenCiv]

90+ percent of the population of Egypt lives within relatively few miles of the Nile, and the countryside where they live is just a few feet above the Nile water level. Even if they got notice of the impending flood, they’d jam the roads and get nowhere fast, give or take fighting one another to get by first.

I think nuking the Aswan dam would flood Cairo and other populous places along the Nile a foot or two then recede quickly. 10% of Egypt electricity is generated at the Aswan. No Aswan would hurt food production a lot
