Sorry Mantra, but you are the one displaying your ignorance of the issues here.
That whole load of tripe you copied was based on the premise that, and I quote,
Quote:very little to do with security and everything to do with territorial expansionism
.
I suggest you do a little more research, and see if that premise can be justified.
The rise of the Islamic Brotherhood, especially in Egypt, was very destabilising for the area, and remember that Israel was a fledgling state, and it's security was very precarious indeed, if the Arabs mobilised to attack them, which was a very real threat, at the time.
The following page I will link to, does not detail the rise of the Brotherhood of Islam, and there attempts to engineer a united, arab/muslim, attack on Israel, with it's objective of destroying it, but it does give a general overview of the situation, as it was in the '60's.
http://www.mideasti.org/transcript/six-day-war-lessons-learnedI realise that your heart goes out to those people suffering in Palestine, but your head needs to get in on the act as well, and stop buying into the Palestinian propaganda, they are unreliable, to say the least.
really, this post is nonsence, and anyone with even a slight understanding of the history of the area would find this hilarious.
Take note people, this is what occurs when people that have no idea post on a topic which they quite frankly.....just shouldn't.
And you have the nerve to call mantra 'ignorant'. Amazing.
Have you ever heard of Abdul Nasser? In case you haven't, he was actually the President of Egypt during the 67 war, and just in case you didn't know....he actually oppressed the muslim brotherhood and came down hard on the movement.
He in fact used arab nationalism to unite the arabs, not 'Islam' as you incorrectly imply.
Of course your link doesn't does not detail the rise of the Brotherhood of Islam, and there attempts to engineer a united, muslim, attack on Israel...because what you have described is nonsence.
It was not the muslim brotherhood that attempted to unite the arabs, it was Nasser, and it wasn't uniting the arabs under the Islamic banner, but the arab banner that Nasser attempted.
You are wrong on so many counts not not funny.
The brotherhood is an opposition group, opposed to Egyptian dictators and criminals who have oppressed its people for over 40 years. Egypt has been in a state of emergency for over 25 years. It is your western puppet dictators who have been heaping suffering on its people.....with the full support of the US military aid, 4.5 billion dollars a year to be precise. But hey, of course, Egypt is considerate a 'moderate'...Mubarak one of the good guys. Yes we know he's a prick and a dictator..but he's our (western) prick and dictator...which makes him one of the good guys.
The brotherhood, first and foremost is an opposition party.....resistance to a dictator, in much the same way that Hamas is a resistance organisition, resisting Israeli occupation and aggressions.
But of course, we all know that you wish for arabs to suffer and die in silence....yes, we get it. After all....the 700 dead Palestinians are just 'propaganda' right?
