"That cursed Israel is trying to destroy al-Aqsa mosque...Nothing will work with Israel except for a nuclear bomb that wipes it out of existence." Mohamed el-Katatny of President Hosni Mubarak's National Democratic Party (NDP) told the Egyptian Parliament.
During the special parliamentary meeting, which was convened to discuss controversial renovations near the Mugrabi Gate in East Jerusalem, other members of el-Katatny's party called to revoke Egypt's 1979 peace treaty with Israel.
"The war with Israel is still ongoing whether we like it or not," NDP legislator Khalifa Radwan said.
Mohamed Amer, another ruling party member, said: "What this (Israeli) gang is doing makes me demand that we trample over all the agreements we signed."
The parliament has little say in national security issues or foreign policy, ultimately dictated by Mubarak who has rejected similar calls in the past.
'Incitement for political gains'
Israeli leaders have stated that the works, meant to fortify an existing structure outside of the Temple Mount, are causing no damage to Al-Aqsa mosque and that Arab claims to the contrary are nothing more than incitement by extremists.
Last week, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said "There are irresponsible people, who know perfectly well that there is no damage being done to any holy site, who are abusing the Israeli democracy to incite religious sentiments for political gains."
Nonetheless, Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski suspended construction late Sunday night in response to recent Arab-Israeli protests and Israeli authorities said on Monday they would reconsider the planned construction work near the mosque.
I like it.
Thanks. The problem is that no one person there has the faith, the balls and the power. I have the first two, but I lack the stomach, charisma, citizenship and language abilities (not to mention the corruption of the soul) necessary to be elected Israeli PM.
It's not all that bad.
I understand that Hiroshima and Nagasaki will be allowed to house people in the year 2,001,945...
Wait.
...never mind...
Are you in Israel? I take it you're Jewish..
If I could be king or emperor of Israel for one day, my only official act would be to bulldoze the al-a**hole mosque & prohibit muzzies from entering Jerusalem forever.
And I'm not even Jewish or Israeli.
Why do the Israelis continue to put up with this crap? Jez!
I'm in the US. My brother is in Israel with his family (and he feels as I do), and I am Jewish.
I agree with you completely. Why there is a single muzzie left in Israel is a puzzle to me? It's like rabid dogs being allowed to roam free & create chaos.
Israel should respond that if a nuclear bomb hits Israel, the Muzzies can kiss Cairo, Medina and Mecca goodbye.

Good grief! These muzzies are so tiresome. "Only nuking Israel will reduce the price of goat meat! Only nuking Israel will make the grass grow! Only nuking Israel will cure a cold! Oh, and don't forget - the USA is the Great Satan!"

Yes, a nuclear attack would stop the "digging". Won't stop the Nile though, which will revert to it's pre-Aswan state.
I guess I should have left my tag line from a couple of weeks ago for the joke impaired. Eat some fiber.
That is, if we were a serious country we might.
I was just messing with you too...
That would be a fatal move for Egypt.
A better question. Are there no Israeli demolition experts who can blow that pagan moon god temple off of Israel's real estate?

One nuclear bomb could ensure that all of Egypt can bathe in the waters of Lake Nasser..
