“Teenager showed me teargas canister ‘made in USA.’ Saw the same thing in Tunisia. Time to reconsider US exports?” CNN correspondent Ben Wedeman in Cairo.
In other words, this is just another dictatorship we’ve been propping up with OUR tax dollars — since 1975, US aid to Egypt has exceeded 28 billion dollars.
And we wonder why they hate us. Oh, yeah, it’s because of our freedoms.

HB2,
this post sounds unpatriotic.

How Egypt Cut Off the Internet

They would hate us regardless. A 2007 poll of Egyptians showed that 67% support a Caliphate and 74% support a “strict application of Shari’a law in every Islamic country.”

If we stood with Spain, Italy (Sicily), Greece, Hungary, Bulgaria, Israel etc against an Islamic invasion, that would be a reason for them to hate us. And if we allowed Europe to fall, eventually, our refusal to accept their invitation to convert would be a reason for Jiahd against us. It is a matter of time and their power.

Ron,
so what you’re saying is America should cease immigration from the Middle East and bring all its foreign troops, aid, and bases home? Brilliant!

Weaver,
I certainly agree with the first two. (Deportations would be nice too.) As for foreign bases, I would preffer an aggressive policy to keep them dis-unified and fearful.

Oh, I know. I’m just joking around.
You think European Gentiles (other than the culties who worship Israel) don’t care about Israel, but that’s only half-true.
Since Catherine the Great, it’s been said Jews deserve a land of their own. And there’s JAR (which I hear is cold like everything in Russia).
What’s unwanted is the ridiculous warmongering. Israel could survive on its own without the US. And it could survive without the fear. You always seem to view the situation as if Israel’s life is perpetual imperiled, and indeed maybe that’s the secret to Israel’s success.
The world over, no one wants to survive; and yet Jews build up a nation-state out of nothing, fighting tooth and nail, haha. In my state, we can’t justify keeping out new immigrants. We can’t even fend off the absurd, “it helps the economy” claims. And yet y’all manage to go a step further.
And I know you’re not Israeli, but you’re sympathetic at least. And indeed I’m similarly so with my own ethnic correlation. I’m often fussing at the British nationalists for losing all of Britain.
There’s something very wrong with West, and we’re all watching Israel to learn the remedy.

Birobaijan is on the Amur River region in Siberia. It is cold.
Israel suffers from the same diseases as the rest of the west. It weathers these better than most for a few reasons:
1) It is young and not yet sclerotic.
2) Waves of patriotic immigrants
3) It is supported by religion and nationalism (I know that there are Orthodox Jews who view Israel as just another gentile government, or worse an affront, but they are a minority. And even many anti-Zionists accept the reality that the state exists and protect it on pragmatic grounds.)
4) It is a besieged nation. While this can be VERY tiring, it also reminds the people that thye face death without solidarity, nationalism, and dedication to heritage.
5) Most attempts at giving up land and other stupidity are rewarded with death. In other western countries, the deaths are the same, but more spread out.
Regarding Egypt, there is some evidence that the US State Department has been helping the protests, and the movements that created the protests.

This may be an attempt to bring is a “moderate” democratic government, before the civil war some see with Mubarak’s death. That El Baradei’s wife is Iranian and kin to an mullah is not noticed.

America has a pretty bad record at “Regime Change” these days.(Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan,Cuba,etc,etc)……..It’s time to shut down 700 bases, come home, reduce the military and welfare babies. All foreign aid should cease.
Or Bankrupt.

“Birobaijan is on the Amur River region in Siberia. It is cold.”
Yes, it is.
“I would preffer an aggressive policy to keep them dis-unified and fearful.”
It is not realistic that Muslims will unite. The chances of Saudis and Iranians forming an alliance are practically nil. WikiLeaks has revealed that Sunni Muslim states would regard the U.S. taking down Shiite Iran favorably.
Now, if organized Jewry we’re to magically flip on a dime and use their media and money power to demand the repatriation of most non-Whites and mongrels (in Europe at least every last one of these must go) from White countries in exchange for taking down Iran, then that would be a fair bargain. But that is not going to happen.
