Egyptian president sharpens his tone against Israel, threatening: 'If I see the homeland in danger, I won't hesitate to take unusual steps.' He vows that his country will 'stop this brutal aggression'
After concluding the Friday prayer at a mosque in Cairo, Morsi warned Israel of the consequences of its strikes in Gaza. According to the al- Shorouk newspaper, Morsi tweeted on his Twitter page: "We have the power to uproot the aggressiveness just like it uprooted exploitation.
"I don't want to take unusual steps," Morsi added, "but if I see that the homeland is in danger, I won't hesitate."
Morsi said earlier that "Gaza will not remain alone as it was," adding that the aggressors "know they will pay a heavy price is they continue their aggression."
He further said that the post-Mubarak Egypt was completely different and that all Egyptians were determined to stop the offensive on the Gaza Strip.
According to Morsi, "The blood spilled over there will not get the other side peace and will serve as a curse on them. It will incite all the people of the region against them."
Morsi added that the Egyptian prime minister's visit to Gaza stressed the message stressed by revolutionary Egypt and will "stop this brutal aggressiveness."
He also said that "the Egyptians throughout their history were not an aggressive people, but they are capable of stopping any attack."

When is sunset in Gaza City tonight?
Israel won’t accept the slow boil. Wish America had half the courage.
As I recall, the last few times they stopped an attack was when the Israelis massacred them. The attacks then stopped.
"Unusual steps"? For a muzzie brotherhood that would be practicing religious tolerance and peace?

Everything seems like it was timed to ensure Israel would be on its own for four years. So sad.
He also said that “the Egyptians throughout their history were not an aggressive people, but they are capable of stopping any attack.”
Yeah, cause they beat back the Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, French, English, etc. I though socialism was delusional, I guess islam is worse.
Rocket from Gaza just hit near Jerusalem. Ruh roh.
I gues this guy Morsi believe the people in Gaza should be able to shoot their rockets without response.
Israel should have kept Gaza and fought instead of handing it over.
Has Israel made it clear that they will NUKE MECCA if the mooselims try to destroy their country?
And the MSM is going to go with the narrative that this escalation by Hamas has nothing to do with the One being reelected.
“the homeland”?
Really Morsi? Whose “homeland”?
More sh** that hit the fan immediately after Obama’s re-election....
More coincidence? I doubt it..
too bad it missed “the dome of the rock”
azzholes
But wait, I thought Obama was big buds with Morsi. You know, that great, wonderful Arab spring thing, right?
