Abdul Moniem Abul Fotouh, a leading Egyptian presidential candidate in the May 23-24 election, said in an interview over the weekend that the Camp David peace treaty between Egypt and Israel is “a national security threat” and needs to be revised.
Al Arabiya News notes that Abul Fotouh said Israel was “a racist state with 200 nuclear warheads” that continued to pose a threat to Egypt. Abul Fotouh’s closest competitor, former Arab League chief Amr Moussa, has also argued for the revision of the treaty with Israel. The concerning remarks from the presidential candidates are not unreflective of the electorate, 61 percent of which said in a recent Pew Global Attitudes Project survey that they would be willing to abandon the 1978 treaty.
With Egyptians going to the polls in less than two weeks, what do we know now about the candidates from the outside looking in, and what does it mean for Israel? Rebeccah Heinrichs of the Heritage Foundation joined “Real News” Monday to discuss the national security implications of the upcoming Egyptian elections, what we really know about the candidates, and where American and Israeli concerns should lie. Watch a clip from Monday’s show below:

Posted on May 23, 2012 at 10:27pmTrouble for Israel I don’t think so. In the book of Revelation it says a coalition will attack Israel but God will come to Israels aid. 5 out of 6 of the enemy forces will die. The sixth will bury the 5 andgo back to tell the story. Pretty cool huh. God is on the side of Israel. He was on our side to until we turned our back on God and Israel. Sorry but Gods word is truth.

Posted on May 15, 2012 at 5:08amWhat else could I add? That is a tragedy for Egyptians who have been the useful idiots one more time… they have been exploited to political gain. Egypt is going to be a nightmare made by Radical Islamics. Freedom is deceptive… and only will remain as fake promise. It was a setup, and the world have fall in the trap for a moment and believe it. Now what are going to do women? and what are going to do young? All who have dream with liberty. They are loosing their future in a deep bag of lies and a mess of indoctrination full of barbaric waste. What Obama and Hillary marketing announced as Arab Spring it won’t be nothing but a tragic terribly delusion. A total distortion of truth and reality. Bad for the Egyptians and Israelis future, bad for life to everyone.

Posted on May 15, 2012 at 4:12amIt‘s interesting to note that there isn’t any “Obama Doctrine” regarding the Islamic Nations. As far as I can tell, the Obama Doctrine is – whatever. Someone should inform Obama that the REAL war against women is an ongoing subjugation of females in the Muslim World.
