Hmmm, do then Jews of world have legal claims on Pyramids? Also consider that only Coptic Christians true Egyptians, rest are Arabs. So should All Christiandom now sue all Arabs for stealing of all Middle East and N. Africa? Dumby muslim savages open pendora box...I think once Islam loose law suit Christian tanks sent in to confiscate stolen Christian property.

The following is an excerpt from the original article in memri. If it weren't so pathetic, it would be hilarious:
"...it was impossible to live in Egypt, despite its pleasures and even though the Egyptians included them in every activity..."

I keep picturing Egyptian "pleasures" that included the Jews, such as making bricks 20 hours a day in the hot sun, under the careful eye of a tyrant with a whip. That fun-loving Ramses knew how to show those slaves a good time.

"A police investigation revealed that Moses and Aaron, peace be upon them, understood that it was impossible to live in Egypt, despite its pleasures and even though the Egyptians included them in every activity, due to the Jews' perverse nature, to which the Egyptians had reconciled themselves, though with obvious unwillingness."

It gets curiouser and curiouser,doesn't it?

How abandoment of property? When dead yes you cannnot hold property, but then guilty of theft and murder...that is Islam in essense.

I think The Onion needs to get their lawyers on this. The Egyptians are stealing their bit!

As for this lawsuit, I think the Jews have an excellent shot at winning a countersuit. :^)

Hilmi, in concert with a group of expatriate Egyptians in Switzerland, is preparing perhaps the largest lawsuit in the history of the world. Hilmi, et al., are going to sue "all the Jews of the world" for items stolen by the Biblical Hebrews from the Egyptians during the Exodus from Egypt.

If memory serves they were GIVEN those items.
Wonder if some Jews have ever thought about sueing the Egyptian government of reparations for all those years they were slaves in Egypt?

"Wonder if some Jews have ever thought about sueing the Egyptian government fot reparations for all those years they were slaves in Egypt?"

Oh, I'm sure if they could they would, because last year a group of European Jews sued the US Army in the US Courts becuse while rescuing the US Army was busy rescuing them from Hitler's death camps the Army misplaced some of their goods.

Chutzpah is an apt term for both these Egyptians, and those Jews.

[RussianConservative]

Abandoned? So where they go when the abandoned land? Where are millions of those Egyptians now? 10% of population of Egypt Egyptian and they get butcher every year. How about those Lebanese, Syrians, Algerians, Carthenagans, Marocons? Where they all go when they "abandon" land? You sound like islamic excusist, rewriting mass murder and theft as "abandoned".

Better be careful. We got this thing with plagues...including death of the first-born.

We tight wit' the Big Man.

And Charlton Heston is still alive...

Don't bring up slaves. That's what killed the Egyptian lawsuit the last time they brought it up, to Alexander the Great. The countersuit is devastating.

In defense of Moses-Egyptians may sue Jews over the Exodus.

Egypt, Arabia, et. al. v. the Jews

[savedbygrace]

First, the available evidence is that the Egyptians willingly GAVE the items to the Israelites.

Second, even if that were not the case, there must be a statute of limitations on theft, and even if there isn't, theft is a crime which punishment would be meted out to the thieves, not on thier descendants.

Third, even if that weren't the case, they will have the burden of proving that a theft took place. The only evidence says that no theft took place.

[John Beresford Tipton]

"In 1948, U.S. officials in Washington, D.C., arranged to have the bulk of the items sold at auctions in New York to benefit international refugees."


The US had no obligation to rescue these plaintiffs; the US didn't put them in their jackpot. Had the US known how "grateful" these refugees were to be rescued, the US would have been better off taking proper charge of the goods, inventorying them, storing them, and carefully preserving them, and leaving these ungrateful people where they were.

These ingrates evidently feel that their rugs were more important than they.

In view of their actions I would be loathe to disagree with their accurate assessment.
