While the Obama Administration is on the bandwagon of whoever happens to be in power in Egypt at any given time, Israel has made no bones about supporting last month’s coup, and has eagerly backed the new junta in its crackdowns on the Sinai Peninsula, even launching an unprecedented drone strike on Egyptian soil.
Now as the massacres grow and the international community is turning against the junta, officials say that Israel is willing to throw its not-insignificant weight behind keeping nations on the side of military rule.
Officials say they will argue that keeping Egypt “stable” is worth any cost, and that democracy and human rights are minor concerns that need to take a back seat. It’s an argument Israeli diplomats seem exceedingly comfortable in making.
With the EU, which is planning urgent reviews of its Egypt ties Monday, that’s going to be a tough sell, and doubly so if the argument is that daily massacres is a “stable” Egypt worth backing.
The bigger impact may be on the US, where a growing number of senators are behind withdrawing military aid for the junta. Israel’s lobbies still hold enormous sway in the US, and the news that Israel is pro-junta, or pro-massacre, or what have you is bound to put a lot of pressure on the Senate to keep the aid flowing as an expression of their pro-Israelness.
Israel, "Insists 'Stability' Trumps Human Rights"…, this is simply absurd, while Israel is "stable" which by the meaning of the word for Israel to live in peace with all the inhabitant, by respecting Palestinians and to promote their social political and economical rights which is their human rights and ultimately would have "Trump Human Rights", if such politics was ever the agenda of Israeli government they wouldn't be called an apartheid regime, nor for the regime act as one. Hence, it is understandable when Israel government uses such "Big Words" knowing that is not going to fit anywhere, but talk is cheap and Israeli government known to look for a bargain.
Israel is a sick terrorist state with no moral, or human compass to speak of. They always support the dreggs, racists, and blood thirsty pond scum no matter who they may be. The Egyptian military is a terrorist organization just like Al Queda, and of course the US will support them. That is what " Murder Inc" does…always!!
Root cause — Only solution
It is most inhuman and dishonest for 95% OF Egyptian society to be so indifferent and self-absorbed as to consider this Revolution a spectator sport.
So, the perfect and only solution is for people to become honest, which requires a whole lot more then to just strive for equality. For it would require everyone to realize that we deserve nothing, which would force upon us a conviction that we own nothing and that everything we have belongs to those in a lower class. Which would make us feel most guilty if ever we failed to give all we could give.
The minute the Morsi government opened the Rafa border and stated that it was going to re-visit the Egypt/Israel peace agreement, the American government started to plan an overthrow of the Morsi government. The only leverage they had was the Egypt military for they receive the American funding. The rest as they say is history. And you wonder why Israel wants to keep the money flowing to the Egypt military.
I always had a suspicion that much of the unrest against Morsi had been agitated by agents working for Israel-US-Saudi Arabia. The Egyptian military has been bought off by US 'aid' while the Egyptian people are struggling to survive on the crumbs. This is part of a bigger plan which I fear may culminate with a major attack against Iran and the suppression of dissenting voices here. In other words fascism.
