Gil Yaron reports:
“If regime change occurs in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood would take the helm, and that would have incalculable consequences for the region,” says [Eli Shaked, who was Israel’s ambassador to Cairo from 2003 to 2005]. The Israeli government has noted with concern the fact that, even after 30 years of peace, Egypt’s army is still equipped and trained mainly with a possible war against Israel in mind.
A cancellation of the peace treaty would open up a new front for Israel against the 11th largest army in the world, which is equipped with modern American weapons. But what Israel fears more than a — somewhat unlikely — armed conflict with Egypt is an alliance between an Islamist regime in Cairo and Hamas, which considers itself an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.
In answer to the Moslim Brotherhood issue:
Nuke them all, nuke them all,
The Sunni, the Shi’a, and all,
NUKE THEN ALL!
Islam is antithetical to, and irreconcilable with, America.
