Egypt's chief archaeologist Zahi Hawass, the guardian of some of the world's most important treasures, was on Wednesday named minister of antiquities, the official MENA news agency reported... Hawass's appointment is likely to anger pro-democracy activists who have been calling for the cabinet to purged of all old regime elements. His nomination comes amid multiplying calls by the UN cultural agency to protect Egypt's heritage after reports of looting and theft during the unrest that followed the popular uprising. UNESCO said on Tuesday that it would write to Egyptian authorities to officially ask for more protection for the country's archaeological sites.

I am not sure if this for the good or bad.
So, the famous Zahi Hawass and his Jew hatred:
Jews Control the Entire World – Egyptian TV, February 11, 2009
Interviewer: “So [the Jews] were dispersed in 133 C.E.?”
Zahi Hawass: “That’s right.”
Interviewer: “And they didn’t reunite until 1900?”
Zahi Hawass: “Exactly.”
Interviewer: “So they were dispersed for 18 centuries?”
Zahi Hawass: “For 18 centuries, they were dispersed throughout the world. They went to America and took control of its economy. They have a plan. Although they are few in number, they control the entire world.”
Interviewer: “Dr. Hawass, you are a great historian and archaeologist. I would like to figure out the mystery of how 15 million people, 5 or 6 million of whom do not share this vile Jewish logic... With regard to Israel and Zionism – we are talking about 7 or 8 million. How is it possible that these 7 or 8 million have taken control of the entire world, and have convinced the world of their cause, while we, over one billion Muslims, cannot convince the world of our cause? How would you explain this from a historical perspective?”
Zahi Hawass: “The reason is that they are always united over a single view. They always move together, even if in the wrong direction. We, on the other hand, are divided. If even two Arab countries could be in agreement, our voice would be stronger. Look at the control they have over America and the media.”
Interviewer: “So in your opinion, the secret lies in unity?”
Zahi Hawass: “Yes. It was unity that gave them this power...”
Interviewer: “You mean from a historical perspective?”
Zahi Hawass: “Of course.”
Interviewer: “Do you continue to maintain the position you declared in the past – that you will not open a museum for Jewish antiquities in Egypt?”
Zahi Hawwas: “I am adamant about this. I carry out restoration of Jewish antiquities because they are Egyptian, but I will not open a Jewish museum. I will open such a museum only when the Palestinians get their rights, and Israel... The Jewish rabbi responsible for this issue came to me, and I said to him, in front of everybody...”
Interviewer: “The chief rabbi of Egypt?”
Zahi Hawwas: “No, the rabbi in Washington came to see me, and I said to him: Under no circumstances will I open a Jewish museum. This is impossible. Politically, I cannot do this, because all the people would hold me accountable. I am Egyptian, and I would like to see the Palestinian issue resolved. Until that happens, I will not open such a museum. I will build the museum only when there is peace.”
And now they're keeping him on because he's done such a great job. Willing to be proven wrong, but have believed this for several years...
I thought you only reached incompetence and could not go higher.
Silly me.
Jews "have a plan"? Are they Cylons? /s
Michael Medved once explained it like this: as a culture fearful of extinction they put high value on placing themselves in positions of power and influence. As a result of this plan for preservation, they may have a greater voice in social, cultural or governmental affairs than their 1-2% of the American population suggests they would have.
While inexact, since not all Jews are religious Jews, a quick search shows 7% of the 109th congress were of the Jewish faith. It was not the only faith over-represented compared to the general population: Presbyterians (3x), Episcopalians (4x) and Methodists (2x) were also.
It comes down to asking whether any sub-culture's values and influence add value to the larger whole or undermine it.
What I do know is the Jewish vote has invariably gone for the Democratic presidential candidate since the 1920s. 8 in 10 voted for Obama, Kerry, Gore and Clinton twice.
Reagan was a bit more competitive but those gains were fleeting. He peeked at 4 in 10 in 1980, falling to 3 in 10 in 1984.
1920 was an anomaly where Harding got a plurality since the majority of Jewish voters split between the Democrat (19%) and the Socialist (38%) candidates.
It may be a misimpression but get the sense evangelicals care more about Israel while the Jewish voter cares about expanding centralized government power and increasing socialism.
Of course, the Palestinians issue will only be resolved when Israel is destroyed with millions dead. The Z will open some small museaum on some back alley where the evils of Isreal and Jews will be on full display.
Now that Egypt is firmly in the Iranian camp, the MB on the rise, the New Caliphate slowly building, Z’s unity will shortly be achieved - after the Sunni kill all the Shites or vise versa. Ah, the wonders of the ROP ! All hail the Great American Leader who made all this possible !

Oooh! The Egyptians better watch out. Dont they know that Sunken Civ loathes Hawass???
This may lead to carpet bombing (barfing) by Sunken Civ
My dislike of Zahi has nothing to do with Jews, as a matter of fact, I knew nothing of his anti-sematic opinions. I don’t like him for his belittling of anyone, who doesn’t hold with strict Egyptologists’ views.
