Lieberman: Mideast conflict not connected to Egypt unrest
By JPOST.COM STAFF
01/30/2011 21:27

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Sunday commented on the unrest in Egypt, saying: "This is the best illustration what we have been claiming for years - the Israeli-Palestinian [conflict] is not the main cause of instability among the moderate Arab countries."

"The conflict is under control - there is no connection between it and what's happening in Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt or Yemen," Lieberman told the ultra-Orthodox newspaper, Herald, according to Army Radio.

He added that the Quartet would discuss recent events in Egypt next week.

Huh. Funny, some of the participants say otherwise.

Remember the Miracle on Ice? The only good thing I can recall about that demoralizing period in our history.

Any idea where in Cairo?

(Remember ther are lots of vigilantes about trying to defend their neighbourhoods against looting. Gun fire does not have to be the army vs the demonstrators, but.....)

Thanks 444! Sad, that this may be Egypts future. Sad, for them, for Israel, for us, and the entire region.
