Maybe They Should Just Attack and Get It Over With
I'm sick to death of this story:
Outrage over an Israeli mistake that left three Egyptian border policemen dead dominated the headlines in Egypt Friday, as the Israeli army chief promised an investigation... Ezzat Ramadan, a friend of Amer's, was quoted as demanding the trials of those responsible and saying: "All our village rejects the Israeli apology."
This is like when the city council in Berkeley has the conciet to pass international resolutions - as if anyone outside of their self-important, drug-addled little commune thinks they matter. Hint: if you have to describe you and your friends as "our village," you probably don't matter in the grand scheme of things. That said, maybe the Egyptians should spend a little less time demonizing Israel and a little more time shutting down their arms-smuggling tunnels:
The Knesset’s top committee chairman added, "Egypt forces Israel to carry out a very extensive volume of activity in a 100-meter wide strip because it is negligent in safeguarding a 300-km security zone from the Suez Canal to the international borderline".
"The IDF is quick to act only because Egypt does nothing to prevent the smuggling. There were cases in which we blew up tunnels and noticed smoke was coming out on the Egyptian side, from within Egyptian army positions", he added.
Or maybe just spend a little less time killing Israelis. But I suppose neither option is as satisfying as blaming Jews for trying to defend themselves.
