Zvi Mazel, who served as Israel's ambassador to Cairo between 1996 and 2001, expressed his concerns on Sunday over the events that took place in the Israeli Embassy in Cairo on Friday night.
An angry Egyptian mob tore down the security wall that had been built around the embassy, and then proceeded to enter the embassy, where they nearly broke into a room where six Israeli security men were holed up.
Egyptian commandos eventually rescued the guards who disguised themselves in keffiyas, Arab head gear, and in Muslim clothes. The guards, along with the Israeli Ambassador to Egypt and other embassy staff, were then flown to Tel Aviv.
Mazel told Arutz Sheva on Sunday that while there have been civilian demonstrations against the Israeli embassy in Egypt in the past, they had never gotten as bad as it got on Friday.
He said that previously, demonstrators who tried to approach the embassy were blocked by the Egyptian security forces near the University of Cairo, which is located about 250 meters from the Israeli Embassy. He added that in the past, certainly no one would have let the protesters come near the embassy wall.
Mazel emphasized that international conventions require the regime to stop all demonstrations near a foreign embassy and that Egyptian authorities should have followed up on their required duties.
"This was cowardly behavior on behalf of the Egyptian authorities," Mazel said, stressing that the new Egyptian government believes it is important to maintain the peace treaty with Israel but at the same time the military forces controlling the country "fear the street," as he put it.
"From the moment the army seized power they've been weak and have let the street dictate their conduct," Mazel added. "It's very serious. These generals do not know how to run a....."

Maybe they can call Howdy Doody and he’ll go there and give one of his so-called famous speeches...um..wait...he already did that. Jinx
Today the Israeli embassy, tomorrow ours.
Perhaps we should increase the amount of financial aid we anually send to Egypt.
Israelis should buy more Nile Perch. If we eat enough of their bleached, polluted fish, maybe they’ll like us again./sarc
Allow them to implode into anarchy.
Let them eat each other alive.
Not one penny or US trope to stop mass killings that will take place.
Pharoh! Let those people go!
Go at it, I mean...

Obie created this.... part of his plan, whatever that is.
‘The Jews of Egypt began fleeing the country in 1948, and most of the remaining, some 21,000, were expelled in 1956.’

History repeats itself. Russians came in as Jews were leaving in the ‘50s. Now the marxist in chief is on the same mission. His first overseas trip was to Cairo. He has visited Israel as president zero times. The US gives $ billions to Egypt. They would not trash the Israeli embassy without the green light from Omullah.
Of course Egypt is in anarchy.. it was planned this way. The fall of Mubarak initially brought jubilation, then uncertainty, more demonstrations and now the anarchy stage. Next up will be the Muslim Brotherhood, who will establish itself and gain popular backing as the one force that can establish order.. under strict sharia, of course.
Islamists are playing this like a fiddle. It worked for them in post-Soviet-occupation Afghanistan and Iran, following the fall of the Shah. And, unfortunately, it`ll probably play out that way after U.S. troops leave Iraq.
What about those sent packing in 1967, after all men and boys ages seven to seventy were briefly detained in a concentration camp?

Yes, exactly, that was the final confiscation and expulsion under Nasser. It is mentioned further down in the wiki website in connection with the “Protocols” fabrication/publication.
‘In 1960, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion were the subject of an article by Salah Dasuqi, military governor of Cairo, in al-Majallaaa, the official cultural journal.[40] In 1965, the Egyptian government released an English-language pamphlet titled Israel, the Enemy of Africa and distributed it throughout the English-speaking countries of Africa. The pamphlet used the Protocols and The International Jew as its sources and concluded that all the Jews were cheats, thieves, and murderers.[41] In 1967, Jews were detained and tortured, and Jewish homes were confiscated.[1]’
Of course, the US is the real villain, because they interned Japanese citizens in WW II. Those poor innocent Egyptians were just naively following America’s bad example./sarcastic parody
Oh come on..., they got rid of Mubarak. Everything is blissful and we all know it...
/s
There’s a very good chance the Egyptians are going to long for the days when Mubarak was in control.
The speed Obama is moving toward a 3,000 troop level in Iraq, you can bank on that. That _er would sell out anyone and anything to get re-elected.
Well, not quite blissful. Arab pride and dignity continues to suffer the unendurable shame of being at peace with Israel, and those pesky Copts are still breathing.
Is the arab spring anything like springtime for hitler?
