According to the BBC the bloodshed in Egypt has begun with the killing of some soldiers and now, the brotherhood supporting half of the country is flowing out of their mosques and setting up barricades in the streets.

The fct is, although the people of Egypt found the Brotherhood repugnant and unacceptable, Morsi maintained the status quo with Israel.

There’s no evidence of that. Egyptian troops going into the Sinai last year certainly was not “status quo”.

Thanks Olog-hai.

The Bro-hood betrayed Egyptian supporters; it is they who thought Morsi was “good enough”, not Israel. Israel knew what he was, and the MB was beating the drum for Egypt’s launching war against Israel over two years ago.
