I am not political. I do hope that Israel stays safe. Let's hear what's Obama'll say shortly.

I do not mean to confuse you, but isn't Obama also a politician? Or, do you mean, you perceive the politics the same way Obama does? You see, by mentioning you can't stop crying with joy, that's kind of saying you're somewhat political. At least, you have some opinion about Egypt, something that makes you crying with joy. All I asked, do you mind to share it? I promise, I won't bite ...

" ...Some Israelis regard Egypt as the most anti-Semitic country in the entire Middle East. ..." ( HonestReporting ) This is sad.
No, I did not have any opinion about Egypt, did not know what was going on over there.

Ok, thanks, I got the picture. Let me just show you one thing without any kind of pressure and I'll go back drifting like a log. Since the last Ice Age, as an alternative to the "some people say" approach, the humanity (among the other things) have invented a cool thing named indicator. What is that? If there's not enough direct reliable information you can examine an indirect reliable information and make some interpolation with a certain degree of confidence. Obviously, the more indicators you have, the greater the degree of confidence.

Speaking of Egypt, let's try to create an indicator as an example. Say, we don't know whether Egypt is the most anti-Semitic country in the entire Middle East or not, but we want to find it out. If Egypt is the most anti-Semitic, then the Egyptians would prefer not to deal with the Israelis, and vice versa. Let's look at the direct flight schedule between Tel-Aviv and Cairo (FareCompare - Cheapest Airline Tickets, Cheap Flights, Travel Deals, Cheap Tickets and Discount Airfares



That is a rather busy schedule for both Air Sinai (the Egyptian airlines) and El Al (the Israeli airlines). Compare that with the other routes from Israel to the other destinations in the Middle East and you'll get what I'm saying. The more indicators you have, the more accurate correlation with the reality you'll get. You don't need politicians or the so-called "political analysts" to make your own conclusions about what's around you. Since those guys operate with their personal impressions based on what they read in the newspapers rather than with the reliable information, no wonder they are wrong most of the time.

Lampada, just a quick follow-up regarding our olde talk about Egyptian-Israeli relations: BBC Russian - В мире - Нетаньяху: исход дипломатов не отменяет мир с Египтом

"... поскольку все понимают, что такое было невозможно при президенте Хосни Мубараке"

I know it might not change your mind, but at least I hope it could add some substance to my earlier claims that the Egyptian anti-semitic sentiments were not induced by Mubarak's regime. Cheers!
