Thirty-four people were killed and more than 100 wounded in clashes during protests in Egypt on Sunday, state news agency MENA quoted the health ministry as saying.

Fighting began after supporters and opponents of deposed Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood took to the streets to commemorate the "Egyptian victory" in the Yom Kippur War, that broke out on October 6, 1973.

Egypt did not win the Yom Kippur War any more than Japan won WWII.

“34 killed, scores injured in Egypt’s celebration of Yom Kippur War”

They do re-enactments just like we do for the Civil War, except they use live ammo....

Let’s send the film crews and ask them to do a large scale re-enactment!

In the Arab mind, outnumbering your enemy 2-3:1 and sustaining losses 4-10 times as much as your enemy, is a victory.

If they keep having victories like that, they will soon be finished.

Thanks for pinging me.

I suspected many of these clashes along the way...and continued ones as it’s their nature, especially with the Brotherhood still there and roaming the streets. These will not be going away any time soon...until and if they nail down the brotherhood as Mubarak did.....which I doubt they will go that far.

There will never be a time where there isn’t war and clashed in the ME...they are still so very tribal and of course the Islamic Agenda isn’t going to go away either. They’ll always create chaos and clashes.

Still an illiterate and backward people by the worlds standards...but Egypt has come far none the less. But will always need a strong military presence to help whoever and whatever their governance is.

Tommorow, October 7, is the 442nd anniversary of the Battle of Lepanto, the last naval engagement of any kind ever won by the MMs,

Lepanto was a smashing victory for Spain, and Venice over the Turkish naval forces.

I remember that was when Egypt adopted the victory flag of some other country by displaying a white crescent moon on a white background.

Actually this is somewhat encouraging, some people
didn’t think this was cause for celebration.

I either post or ping a thread on this every year. I don't remember deaths though, in the celebration. I guess that's an Arab spring thing.

That’s why you should never let any of them live to fight another day.

It’s as delusional as the Muzzies saying the Holocaust didn’t happen and then they turn right around in the next breath and tell Jews to go back to the ovens.
