Gambatte Israel.

This goes to show you how wonderful Israel's neighbors are. They resent the peace Egypt made with Israel. Well if Israel takes any more land in any upcoming wars I sure hope they don't give any of it back this time. What a joke if Egypt loses the Sinai again. I'll be laughing all the way if that happens.

The Hizbollah chief Sheik Hassan Nasrallah is right. A Muslim Brotherhood front government in Egypt would indeed "change the region". And the White House and the mainstream media are simply drooling at this "change in the region, i.e. the prospect of having a Muslim Brotherhood front government in Egypt.

What they actually mean by maintaining peace with Israel is that Egypt has been Israel's accomplice.
Gambatte Egypt and Hezbollah. Inshallah, you will eliminate tyranny in the region.

I agree in as much as both Israel and Egypt have been the source of peace in the Middle East. Hezbollah should be ashamed of themselves for wanting an end to peace. Why wish for death? Life and peace are much more interesting. How many Egyptians died in past wars with Israel? How many Israelis? Life is better than death. Peace is better than war. Anyone that would support an end to peace is an idiot.

And here is the real motivation behind the protests. This and the communist cliche "social justice" that the protesters are calling for in interviews.

"> I agree in as much as both Israel and Egypt have been the source of peace in the Middle East.
Hard to believe that Israel is in any way a source of peace in the region, considering the countless UNSC resolutions (and the recent Goldstone report) over the past decades condemning its attacks against its neighbours. A heavy attack, including the use of white phosphorous, against a UN school packed with civilians does not sound very peaceful to me.
Hopefully, this tyranny in the region will come to an end with the new Egyptian leadership.

Be careful of what you wish for. You may lose more territory and then you'll be crying to the UN again to write some strong letters. You may also be supporting the "American Military Industrial Complex" by giving them a good market to test out their new weapons. Poor poor Egypt will be taken down by these Protesters.

Of course the agreement between Israel and Egypt is a source of peace. It resulted in peace. Hezbollah wants the opposite of peace. Hezbollah wants there to be an end to the peace. It is obvious Hezbollah wants war. How anyone could be for war again is beyond me.
I agree with mike, if Israel gets the Sinai back, they should keep it. It seems there is no such thing as land for peace. They get nothing permanent for giving land, why give it back?

The reason I love democracy so much is the chaos it brings when placed in the hands of fools.

Clever headline writing. Burying the name Nasrallah makes it look like a new moderate H'ezbollah is on the scene.

Will Egypt now become like Lebanon and Gaza?

That's seems to be Hezbollah's hope. Sad, huh?

nandakandamanda
If this is Hezbollah's hope as you say, atamant, then why?
All I can think of in answer to that is that they desire to spread their own authority even at the expense of a whole country?
Or is Iran trying to gain more foothold and influence in the Arab world?

atamant
Yes to both. Again, sadly.

nandakamanda:
In all likelyhood, yes. And Israel will be almost completely surrounded by islamist regimes.
Lets see how long Jordan´s king hangs on.

No, they want people to live free. Hezbollah emerged in response to Israel's brutal invasion of Lebanon.
Yeah, that is what the Egyptian security officials said. But I bet what they actually uncovered was a Hezbollah cell helping the Egyptian people free themselves from their oppressive and dishonest government.

Right, the mantra of all hardline Islamists. "Live free."

Live Free all you people. Hey you women get that burqa ON!! Burn those TVs, Radios and MP3 players!! Wait! We'll keep our modern automatic rifles though. You are now free of the evil West!! Aren't you happy now?

No, they want an end to the peace between Israel and Egypt. They want a return to war. War is not living free. BTW, Israel's invasion was a response to being attacked from Lebanon.
Yeah, and tossed into another more oppressive and dishonest government. I wonder were you so supportive of protests when they happened in Iran. I somehow doubt it.
People go on and on about 'democracy'. However, just because a government is democratically elected does not mean we have to agree with that government. Hamas was 'democratically elected' (probably with the electorate held at gunpoint) and the Nazis were also 'democratically elected'. Neither of these governments can be considered anything but oppressive. Heck, George Bush was democratically elected but I certainly saw lots of people dissatisfied with him and his government. So, there is nothing wrong with fear or complaints about a possible Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt. Gaza and Lebanon are messes. People don't want Egypt to go the same way. Just because you hate Israel does not mean Egyptians should have to suffer war again because of it. Does it?

Yeah, riiiight...., unfortunately we won't be allowed to get into that.
No, the Hamas election was free and fair. International supervisors were present.
So you say, I disagree.
So you say... Anyway, the US is not a good example of democracy. Its a democracy in appearance only.
Yeah, thanks to who?

No need to. I am correct.
The balloting was observed. The pressure brought to bear on the Palestinian people might not have been 'observed' by them, but it existed and exists nonetheless. It is the same pressure that the Muslim Brotherhood would use as well. That is what Hezbollah has been using in Lebanon.
I am confused. You don't trust the Muslim Brotherhood. Are you not aware that they are the forerunner of both Hamas and Hezbollah and supporters of both? Maybe it is you that is confused. No?
You appear to not know what democracy means. However, regardless, democracy does not always lead to good governments. Hamas and the Nazis are good examples of this. I don't want Egypt to become like that.
Easy question. Thanks to the Muslim Brotherhood's pals, Hezbollah and Hamas. I just hope Egypt does not go the same way. I hope Egypt completely ignores Hezbollah's calls to abandon peace in favor of war.
