Some Egyptians Want To Vacation In Israel. Others Want To Try To Destroy It. Again. [Video]

A female Egyptian blogger has asked her readers to discuss whether she should go on vacation to Eilat in Israel. The responses are divided into: "do it", "do it but don't go to Eilat because it kind of sucks" (true), "don't do it because Egyptian security officials will harass you when you need to come home", and "Jews are evil and the enemy."

On the whole it's a somewhat heartening thread, minus the evidence of a very real undercurrent of anti-Israel intransigence in the Egypt. See, inter alia:

It's not like Egypt is obligated under the Sinai Accords to combat anti-Israel incitement. Except for all those cultural normalization planks, under which they - for lack of a better word - are. Super job President Carter.
