Jesse Jackson ought to get a charge out of this one: Egyptians are preparing an enormous lawsuit against "all the Jews of the world" for "trillions" of tons of gold supposedly stolen during the Exodus.

According to Middle East Media Research Institute, Nabil Hilmi, dean of law at the University of Al-Zaqaziq, and some Egyptian expatriates in Switzerland are behind the stunt.

Hilmi is quoted as telling the Egyptian weekly Al-Ahram Al-Arabi: "Since the Jews make various demands of the Arabs and the world, and claim rights that they base on historical and religious sources, a group of Egyptians in Switzerland has opened the case of the so-called 'great exodus of the Jews from Pharaonic Egypt.' At that time, they stole from the Pharaonic Egyptians gold, jewelry, cooking utensils, silver ornaments, clothing, and more, leaving Egypt in the middle of the night with all this wealth, which today is priceless."

Wait: Doesn't Jesse say it's the descendants of slaves who are supposed to sue the descendants of enslavers? We sense a counterlawsuit coming ...

the Egyptians kept the Jews in slavery for 400 years and then were forced to give them their freedom after enduring the 10 plagues from Jehovah... after giving into them the Jews were offered the gold and silver to leave... I'd say, they may have a case. but then again, the Jews may ask for reparations for 400 years of slacery to build the great nation of Egypt.... hmmmmmmmm

Perhaps the Egyptians would settle out of court for a couple bars of soap and a case of Right Guard.

Ok, so let's see the records and serial numbers on each item.

Hmm yes reparations for 400 years of slavery with 4000 years compound interest... I think the Jews now own Egypt.

"Wait: Doesn't Jesse say it's the descendants of slaves who are supposed to sue the descendants of enslavers? We sense a counterlawsuit coming ..."

Heheheheh...

On a more serious note, I'm really beginning to hate Egypt. This is nothing but another way to get all the sex crazed, genitalia-obsessed Muslim boys keen on getting those 72 bowls of raisons ...err..virgins again. They'll probably take it to Brussels, which will pass a judgement trying to bankrupt Israel.

There ought to be a way to automatically link articles on the same topic so the posting commentary isn't spread over half a dozen separate threads and a couple of weeks.

[illumini]

Nothing beats a good publicity op.

Hmmmm. . .and current "Black History" alleges the Egyptians were actually Black. . .so. . .hmmm. . .might Saint Jesse the Fallen be concered that HE might be liable for reparations. . .hmmm. . .

Whatever they took from Egypt was payment for 400 hundred years of slave labor received by the Egyptians.

The Egyptians were all too glad to give the Jews their booty if they would only depart and take with them the plagues from God( Exodus 12).

Only when they had crossed the Red Sea did Pharoah realize he was bankrupted and then gave chase to the Jews. He then became the head of the world's first underwater army.

Ruling: Egyptians get squat. Next.

Squawk like an Egyptian.

Is this world going crazy? Statue of Limitations

[Jumper]

Damn, the Jews are going to be forced for paying to tear down the 3 pyrmaids! Egyptions won't have any tourists sights left then!

[AmericaUnited]

That's funny. The documents ( book of Exodus ) say that the Egypians willingly GAVE them these items.

re: "That's funny. The documents ( book of Exodus ) say that the Egypians willingly GAVE them these items."

What a silly comment.

SINCE WHEN has the Arab media concerned itself with FACTUAL information?

Or better, when will that begin to happen? When it does, I think the Arabs will join us, and begin to rush right into the modern world,,,

Hope that happens soon!

Here's the scariest part of the article:

Nabil Hilmi, dean of law at the University of Al-Zaqaziq

Here's an article that sites Nabil making these comments in the August 9, 2003 issue of the Egyptian weekly "Al-Ahram Al-Arabi" Some of the highlights:

Taking posession of the gold was understandable. This is clear theft of a host country's resources and treasure, something that fits the morals and character of the Jews.
...
A police investigation revealed that Moses and Aaron, peace be upon them, understood that it was impossible to live in Egypt, despite its pleasures and even though the Egyptians included them in every activity, due to the Jews' perverse nature

Here's the full interview. I see that Rabil thinks that gold doubles in price every 20 years no matter what. I have some real estate in Japan to sell him.

"Squawk like an Egyptian."

BUMP!!

I HAVE to remember that...I HAVE to remember that...

[cake_crumb]

"This is clear theft of a host country's resources and treasure..."

Some "hosts" Egyptians are.

[joesnuffy]

yep the Jews should counter sue for slavery reparations
