Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?
If you were a member of a family murdered in this conflict, would you be seeking revenge?
Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?
What will the price of oil be in 4 weeks time?

by the way, as you sit trumpeting in the comfort of your warm little home, hasn't your wife suggested that you show your proper support for the plight of the palestinians in gaza, by going to live there for at least the next 6/12 months ..... that way, you could put money with mouth and, i dare say, play "boys games" with bazookas or even just slinging stones at those beastly israelis or the questionably elected gov't puppets?

I don't think that there is such an overwhelming majority of people against the EU or has ever been. In the case of Egypt it is inlikely that there has ever been any sizeable number of people in favour of cooperation with Israel. It really was a case of acting against the wishes of the people in a similar manner to the almost 30 years of dictatorship recently in Egypt.

i fear ITLOB, as i have posted earlier, that we shall see a repressive fundamentalist regime within say 5 years

and on what do you base your latest piece of erudition? ..... straw poll among your pals? .... an in-depth survey on the ground across egypt? ..... or perhaps because the travel was too much, just a good x-section survey on the streets of cairo?

It is not that the people of Egypt want war. They don't want to support Israel in its subjugation of the Palestinians. A change of gevernment in Egypt is not going to bring a war with Israel. They may, however, stop being the puppet of the US in supporting Israel's seige of Gaza and the mistreatment of Palestinians in the West Bank. I don't really understand why you relate this to hating Jews. I find it difficult to imagine why anyone would hate jews. It seems quite illogical.

i doubt very much if the average egyptian gives 2 piastres or even a minute's thought a week to their so-called brethren in gaza .... in fact, i'm not sure there is even much genetic relationship between the two
as ITLOB quite rightly says, the average egyptian just wants to be shot of the present regime which is seemingly much more corrupt than i realised, and a return (they hope!) to a democracy ..... for myself, i've found trading with egypt a damn sight safer than with the likes of kenya and a bundle of other "gems"

Mubarak may find it difficult to confront people if protests continue a couple of more days. Especially if fighters from Hezbollah get mixed with innocent protesters.

Israel offered Egyptian intelligence director Omar Suleiman its readiness to help Egypt and carry out operations to quell the people's revolution and demanded him to prevent the alleged arms smuggling into the Gaza Strip.
Quds Press quoted the sources as affirming that Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday during a phone call with Suleiman, who was sworn in as vice president a couple of days ago, expressed his fears over the situation in Egypt and offered him intelligence and security services to end the protests.
Netanyahu also discussed with Suleiman ways to secure the borders with Israel and urged him not to hesitate to ask for Israel's help if the Egyptian regime felt any danger threatening its existence.

In what way it is banned? I just watched it on Youtube which is an American website which all Americans can access. Seems also it is available on iTunes.

The US rarely bans song. The radio stations just don't play them.

Is Israel being helpful to Egypt, their friend Hosini, somebody or something else?
I think a very big spanner has been thrown in the works.

Just another little thought, perhaps Mubarak and his "government" can seek "asylum" in Israel.
They may feel at home there.

As opposed to Israel hating the Palestinians.
Now Jordan has dismissed its government today. That's another country with a peace agreement with Israel.
I read today that Israel gets 40% of its gas from Egypt.

Connecting unconnected facts is a sign of losing it.
Anyone who has been to Israel would know - rather than those who scream out of the tops of their heads claiming their personal opinion is fact - yes, you and the others parrot - that about 75-80% of Israelis want a two state solution, about 10-15% just don't know as their fear stops them, and about 10% are dead against a settlement.
Opinion polls echo that, parrot. Not unsupported conjecture "Israel hating the Palestinians" as spews out of your finger tips, parrot.
Ah, everything in black and white, ignorance and hatred are so easy, aren't they?
Of course, it's all some intellectually and mentally challenged people can cope with.

I am not discussing the people of Israel, but their government and its actions. If the people want a two state solution then change the government. They won't get it with the current one.

There is an interesting program on BBC 2 on Thursday at 9pm for an hour - "The Ultra Zionists". It is about settlers in the West Bank.
