Egypt: Army will defend country from people like Nasrallah
Posted: 29-12-2008 , 13:18 GMT

Ahmed Abul GheitEgyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit on Monday slammed Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah for calling for mass demonstrations in Egypt to force the government to open the country’s border with Gaza Strip. "Someone yesterday called on the Egyptian people to take to the streets and create an atmosphere of anarchy. In other words, they want an atmosphere of anarchy similar to the one they created in their own country," Abul Gheit told a press conference in Turkey.

 

"This person also called on the Egyptian armed forces, but he is not aware of the situation," Egypt's top diplomat said after talks with his Turkish counterpart Ali Babacan. "If you do not know, let me tell you that the Egyptian armed forces are tasked with defending Egypt. If need be, they will also protect Egypt against people like you," he added.

 

The Egyptian minister also underlined that the Rafah crossing point between Egypt and Gaza was open for dispatching humanitarian supplies and receiving wounded Palestinians.

 

In a televised address on Sunday, Nasrallah called on Egyptians to take to the streets ‘in millions’ to force the government to open the Rafah crossing to Gaza Strip, arguing that security forces could not take actions against such a large turnout.

 

However, it seems that the Egyptian authorities took Nasrallah's comments very seriously. It is reported that the Egyptian interior ministry declared a maximum state of emergency at its Central Security apparatus, canceling indefinitely all leaves for officers and soldiers.

  Hopefully, Egypt will continue to leave the border open to the injured Palestinians. I don't think international and regional leaders will think they are aiding Hamas by rendering humanitarian aid. The region is so overcrowded that no matter how careful Israel is there will be civilian casualties. When the UN is through verbally condemning the violence they should get citizens wishing to leave, out immediately. Another constructive way of helping if you live in the area would be through blood donations.

  "The region is so overcrowded that no matter how careful Israel is there will be civilian casualties" I think it is little deeper than that. What we are witnessing is th eunfolding of Judeo-Fascism that is being carried out by Jeiwsh savages. The ideological backbone of Judeo-Fascism lies deeply inside the teachings of Torah and Talmud, the two Jewish holy books. As long as these books are not purified from evil verses, some other evil doers similar to Zionist thugs will energize these savages to ethnic cleanse Palestinians. Let me read to you from Torah.

  Lets read from Torah: "Numbers 33:50 :And the Lord spoke unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan.saying Numbers 33:51 : Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them when ye are passed Jordan into the land of Canaan, Numbers 33:52 : then ye shall DRIVE OUT all inhabitants of the land from before you,and destroy all their pictures and destroy all their images, and quite pluck down all their high places, Numbers 33:53: and ye shall DISPOSSESS the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therien for I have given you the land to possess it," So much for your CAREFUL theory. These Jewish savages are simply doing what their holy book teaches them to do.

  Let in medical aid but keep the Pali's in their own mess they created. They think they can just lob missiles from all around their homes cursing the Jews and then not have any repercussions? They created this mess, let them live in it for awhile and maybe they will tire of the retaliation and stop the attacks. Have you noticed that no Arab country wants the Pali's? Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, do not want them because they are nothing but terrorists and troublemakers. All they give is verbal support and it looks like even Egypt is done with that. Good riddance to the terrorists and congratulations to Israel for finally defending your country!

  Nasrallah is a dog that barfs what Iran and Syria tells him--He does not care about palestinians that are dying now, niether he cares about the 1300 Lebanese who died as a result of his July 2006 deadly adventure. He should shut up and put a shoe in his mouth, or let him go kiss some Iranian and Syrian ass--that's what's he's good for.

  Egypt housed Pals. since nakbeh 1948, the egyptian gov. gave every thing, Yasser Arafat was egyptian parading as pals. they were given the best choices in universities, jobs, pensions etc. Lebanon did the same and still doing and what's the result, the 1975 war, the Naher al Bared war, that incedently Nasrallah did not offer to help his own country!!! in the 1970's when King of Jordan exterminated and expelled all Pals. hence "Black September" movement. I ask you who want them in thier country

  Deuteronomy 28 64.

And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:

  Ezekiel 36 24. For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Another miracle is predicted for this extraordinary nation. Ezekiel predicts there will be a final great invasion launched against Israel. It will be led by a power to their extreme north, which can only be Russia. Russia will lead the invasion with a confederacy of specifically predicted nations that are all Muslim today (Ezekiel 38 and 39). Against all odds, the nation has survived and won five wars that were intended to annihilate it. Seven day war.

  Numbers 33 1. These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron 2. And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the Lord: and these are their journeys according to their goings out.

And what you said did not explain it right. Lots of religions out there ever since 2000 years ago. How do you know who is right. Do you test it? Or do you listen whoever is speaking and say that is good enough. Or do you mainly believe anyone that says anything like you yourself just did. If you can read That was in moses day.
