Egyptian Academics And Educated Elite Discuss Elimination of Israel

June 18, 2002
A recent article in the Jordan Times (Monday, June 17, 2002 AP) sheds lights and startles the reader on the current state of affairs in Egypt, even among the educated elite. At a seminar entitled “After the Demise of Israel,” that country’s educated elite made know its views on the elimination of Israel, in spite of what often appears to be the leading role taken by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in regional piece talks and in apparent disregard for the peace treaty signed between Egypt and Israel over ten years ago.
Relating to the title for the symposium, “After the Demise of Israel,” Salah Abdul Karim, deputy head of Egypt for Culture and Dialogue urged, “We should probe ways on how to bring that date sooner rather than later.”
Members of the symposium also called for the overthrow of regimes supporting peace with Israel. “We should fight this racist pocket (Israel) planted in the heart of the Arab nation,” said Karim. Islamic activist Hassan El Sayed clarified “Israel will collapse, it is doomed, but what is necessary is the collapse of the Arab system.”
Still other speakers added inflammatory remarks. Mohammed Hesham, a professor at the state-run Helwan University suggested that Israel would disappear “like the racist regime in South Africa.” Hesham presented the symposium participants with a paper on “Zionist Racism: A History With No Future.” Other symposium participants called for concrete action. “This entity will not collapse on its own, we should escalate its downfall,” urged Adel El Gogri, of the Al Ahrar daily.
The article notes the regretful irony: “Egypt, the most populous Arab country and Washington's main ally in the region, was the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel in 1979.”

Not much changes with this bunch. Can't understand why Israel gave them back the Sinai.

The current power elite in Egypt all fought and lost the humiliating wars of 67 and 72. Oh yes indeed they have long memories and deep hatred. We are just beginning to see this. Too bad we let them in by the droves in the last 10 years.

We are putting our heads in the sand when it comes to Egypt. This guy Mubarak, and all his worthless government are in bed with the Moslem Brotherhood. They tell us that they are arresting them, but it is like Arafat arresting the bad guys. There are so many of them, and arresting a few does not kill the whole organization. If Mubarak realy wants to kill the Moslem Brotherhood, HE CAN! The same thing with the rag-head Arafat, if he realy wants peace, and wants to arrest the bombers, HE CAN. After all in a dictatorship, everything is done with the knowledge of the dictator.

not the way they are going about it like a dog sneaking a pee under the dining room table when you turn your back. Methinks they thought long and hard about what makes us tick and what makes us afraid. they know they can't beat us head on. Can we beat them head on if we never actually catch them peeing?

Blame the CIA. Kennedy Airport in NY is constantly filled with Egyptian women with their heads covered and men with beards and Islamic clothing.
Actually, there are many Christian Egyptians who would love to come to this country to escape persecution by the fanatic Moslems in Egypt; but we do not give them preferential treatment as we give the Moslems. What is wrong with this picture? We have a brain dead government?

I think the first step in liberating Egypt from the Arabs is the demise of Cairo. It never should have been a city in the first place. Further more, it's ugly. Nuke it.

Isreal is not going anywhere, and 400+ deliverable nuclear warheads say so.
