This ("MEMRI") is usually a legitmate watchdog source of the Arab World newsmedia, translating interesting articles into English that the non-Arab world would otherwise perhaps not find. Apparantly, as much as one might think, this story is no joke. Can you believe this?

What? No mention of the Red Sea parting and massacre of Pharoah's troops? Guess they would sue over that, too, for 'wrongful death.'

The Egyptians ought to tour the British Museums. That's where most of their artifacts reside!

Reparations...same song, older lyrics.

Egyptian Jurists Sue 'The Jews' for Compensation...of Gold Allegedly Stolen During Exodus from Egypt

[Uncle Miltie]

"It is clear why they stole the gold, but why the cooking utensils?"

The Great Spatula Conspiracy continues!

Does this mean I have to give my wedding ring to some guy named Achmed? Bummer...

The lawyers representing the Jews could enter into evidence the movie “The Ten Commandments” and show that the gold was used to make the “Golden Calf” which was consumed by the earth by God. They can call Charlton Heston as a witness, and sue God. (Or in the case of most Egyptians, Allah.)

Let's see. From a neutral observer's perspective, given that the Jews were in slavery in Egypt prior to fleeing....

Two Words:

SLAVERY REPARATIONS.

How much is Egypt worth? Think they can afford it?
Might have to hock the pyramids??

#2 Sorry, the gold was not "stolen." The Jews asked for the gold and the Egyptians handed it over...willingly. (Well, maybe after some strong arm tactics by GOD LOL)

Will the defense attorney counter with a Motion for Dismissal asking the judge to "let my people go"?

[Centurion2000]

Sounds like Israel needs to announce the test of a Jericho .... target one of the pyramids.

[Physicist]

But...but...but...the Egyptians of the time of the Exodus were not the ancestors of the Arabic Egyptians of today. Are they doing this on behalf of the Copts?

[sharktrager]

Maybe the jews should counter-sue for the time of slavery and demand reparations.

Amicus Curitae briefs have been written on their behalf by the following parties, pursuant to the issue at hand.

But then, there have been MANY Jubilee years since then in which all debt is forgiven.
If they want to argue using the Bible, they need to look a little further while writing their claim... Too bad they can't get a Jewish lawyer, he might help them win the case.

I believe that that gold was a small tip for 400 hundred years of forced labor. The bill, to be payed in full to God has yet to be payed but it as been turned over to the collectors.

Not to mention the fact that it was the Muslims from the Arabian peninsula that conquered Egypt (and the entire Mideast) and plundered it. If the native Egyptians (whatever those are, ha ha ha, considering that Rome and Greece both had a significant presence there) have any claim, the most recent claim is against the Muslim invaders. The Muslim invaders have no claim at all against anyone for anything that happened to the land they conquered before they conquered it. The Jews were just getting back pay for 400 years of slavery. The Muslims plundered a civilization. Typical crap from this bunch of crooks, though. Which is why I said:

Any thoughtful person who knows history and religion would be anti-Islam. Along with Communism, Naziism, and the Black Death, Islam has been responsible for more death and destruction on the face of the planet than just about anything else since the last asteroid impact. Islam was started by predators. It has spread by predation. It has lived off the decaying corpses of the civilizations it has destroyed. It is a vast, ancient sea of corruption, oppression, fanaticism, and ignorance lapping up against the shores of the present, kept alive by the fortuitous accident of living above huge reserves of petroleum.
