Influential Egyptian TV personality Tawfik Okasha has reportedly told Israel to bomb Iran. Addressing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a dear friend, Okasha said that Israel should bomb the Bushehr Nuclear Reactor, Breaking Christian News reports.
"Put your trust in God and bomb it. We are with you and if you need fuel for the jets, we will give it to you, Okasha said.
Netanyahu said Okashas words are proof Egypt cannot be trusted.
"In the last few days, Iran has shown again why it can't be trusted," Netanyahu said.
According to Breaking Christian News, the Israeli Prime Minister does not approve of the nuclear deal.
"Iran insists on maintaining its formidable nuclear capabilities with which it could produce nuclear bombs. Iran insists on removing all sanctions immediately. And Iran refuses to allow effective inspections of all its suspect facilities. At the same time, Iran continues its unbridled aggression in the region and its terrorism throughout the world," Netanyahu said in a statement.
"We must not let Iran, the foremost sponsor of global terrorism, have an easy path to nuclear weapons which will threaten the entire world," he continued.
It shows that EVEN FELLOW MUSLIMS don’t trust Iran in getting nuclear weapons ... :-) ...
He’s protected.
Yes, he’s on to a lot of things, like ... Hamas is not a friend, Islamists have to stop this incessant killing spree of theirs, and, of course, Iran is not a friend ... plus ... it’s better to have Israel as a neighbor than most of those other crazy Islamist countries ... :-) ...
lol - the headline reads just a little different from the article...
This blog reports that "Influential Egyptian TV personality Tawfik Okasha has reportedly told Israel to bomb Iran."....hardly "Egypt".
The problem here ... is ... you’re not talking about a majority of the population. Things are changing from the old days.
He is described as an “influential TV personality”. In Egypt you don’t stay on TV if the government disapproves of you. This is a lot like George Stephanopolous saying “bomb Canada”. George is protected by the establishment. If he says it, AND he doesn’t get immediately slapped down, then you know something is going on.
Like when he asked about birth control in the debates. Made no sense until we saw that was a major theme of the Obama campaign.
For those to whom this does not make sense, read up on the history of Sunni and Shia fight. It began a few years after the death of Mohammed, and has continued bitterly for the subsequent 1400 years. To further understand this read up on the battles of the Protestant Reformation, the Thirty Years War, and events like the Albigensian Heresy and the destruction of the Cathars, and the Spanish Inquisition. The Muslim world is engaging in the same kind of fight 400 years later than we did. If we are wise we will “let you and him fight” and sit this out as much as possible.
Here is an extensive article on the differences, with many useful links on details:

Here is an article with a two minute video explaining Sunni and Shia. The video was made before Malaki was removed from power in Iraq. There are a number of detailed comments. I don’t know if it was the site, or my computer, but I couldn’t get the video to run. Then I started reading the Comments and after a while the Video began. There is a GOOD MAP showing distribution of religions in the region.

Trust in God and start nuking...IMO.
Tiny Israel is a land bridge between three continents. Three continents at war with each other for nearly all of world history. Israel is the crossroads of the ancient world and has been trampled upon, conquered, retaken and destroyed again many times by many of the world's greatest empires, yet she survives. Must be a reason.

It has to be a typo.
Hey Egypt... you have F15s too
Bomb Iran as well, Israel will have your back.
Idiots.
What Irony!
First Moses tells Israel to trust in God and leads it out of Egypt.
Now Egypt tells Israel to trust in god.
Use one of those bunker busters you have stored. The BIG one called a NUKE!! Drop a couple of those on that nuke plant. It will disappear in a flash of light!
Actually, EGYPT does not say that. ONE EGYPTIAN says that. But, he is RIGHT.
Is Weasley Clarke advising All Sisi?
A couple bean burritos . I’m a petrostate.
Burp and HIC!
:-)
Sunni vs Shia.
No up or down da Nile cruise this year!
Sad to see the decline of civility in the Middle East..
And the acceptance of it happening from abroad.
Where is PUFF?
In PUFF me Trust!

“I remember when at least one of the superpowers were working for stability in the world.
Now none of them are.”
Wrong! The Russian superpower evaporated in the early 1990s while the American superpower evaporated in the late 2000s.
Needless to say, there are no superpowers left.
Well, we certainly haven’t heard much about Syrian nuclear threats since then have we? Kinda like the effectivity of Reagan’s strike on Kaddafy in Libya. Didn’t hear much from him for a few decades either.
