BIEBER AND BIBI

Justin, who is having a bad time in Israel.

Israel has tried to get Justin Bieber on its side.

Netanyahu 'cancels' Bieber date over snubbed kids - ABC News ...

The bad news is that Justin Bieber, whose manager is Jewish, has been spending a week in Israel.

Children from the region bordering Gaza were invited to be special guests at Justin Bieber's show in Tel Aviv on 14 April 2011.

These children have allegedly been targeted by rockets fired from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

Jewish Wedding in 2010.

The good news is that Justin Bieber's proposed meeting with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has fallen through.

Justin allegedly refused to meet with the invited children.

Justin's people have denied that Justin snubbed the children or Netanyahu.

Justin's people say the meeting was never finalised.

Israeli newspaper Haaretz said Netanyahu cancelled the meeting because of Justin's unwillingness to meet the children.

A government official said: "The prime minister was approached to meet with Justin Bieber.

"The prime minister was open to the idea and wanted to bring children from southern Israel in order for them to have an enjoyable experience.

"In the end, it was unfortunately not possible."



Justin Bieber said on Twitter: "I want to see this country and all the places I've dreamed of and whether it's the paps (paparazzi) or being pulled into politics, it's been frustrating".

According to the UK's Jewish Chronicle, Justin Bieber, a practicing Christian, was scheduled to tour the Dead Sea, Masada and Caesarea.

But, Justin has said that aggressive photographers have forced him to spend the rest of his trip in his hotel room.

"You would think paparazzi would have some respect in holy places," Bieber wrote. "All I wanted was the chance to walk where Jesus did here in Israel."

"They should be ashamed of themselves. Take pictures of me eating but not in a place of prayer, ridiculous ...

"People wait their whole lives for opportunities like this, why would they want to take that experience away from someone ...

"Staying in the hotel for the rest of the week u happy?"

AFTER EGYPTIAN COUP - ISRAEL INVADES?


How long before Israel grabs the Sinai from Egypt?

According to The Economist, there could be a big Middle East war during 2011.

"Unless remedial action is taken, 2011 might see the most destructive (Middle East) war for many years." (The United States, Israel and the Arabs.)

Step 1 - topple Mubarak

Step 2 - create turmoil in the Sinai

Step 3 - invade

Remember what happened after the CIA toppled the Shah?

There was a long and bloody war between Iraq and Iran.

(Whatreallyhappened.com please note)



On 21 January 2011, Executive Intelligence Review has an article entitled: 'Economist' Announces: A Big Mideast War Coming in 2011

EIR reckons that Lebanon and Gaza may soon be attacked by Israel.

"In a two-page analysis released on 13 January, by the Council on Foreign Relations ... Elliott Abrams, floated the idea of a two-front attack on Hezbollah by the Israeli Defense Forces (from the south) and the regular Lebanese Army (from the north)...

"The Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP), which was co-founded by... Dennis Ross, posted a disinformation report on Jan. 4 claiming that Hamas had intensified rocket attacks on southern Israel from within the Gaza Strip during December 2010, and the 'deterrent' effects of Israel's December 2008 Gaza invasion have now run their course, greatly increasing the need for, and likelihood of, an Israeli preemptive strike on Gaza."

Saudi Arabia will be next.

If Israel is to invade the Sinai it needs an excuse.

"A Coptic church in the Egyptian town of Rafah bordering the Gaza Strip was in flames on Saturday (5 January 2011), with witnesses reporting a blast...

"Witnesses said they saw flames coming out of the Mar Girgis church in Rafah after hearing an explosion. Armed men on motorbikes were spotted near the church, one of them said." (Church in flames in Egypt's Sinai: witnesses)

According to http://twelfthbough.blogspot.com/ (sabotage adds new dimension):

Egyptian state TV reported 'dangerous explosions continuing from one spot to another' in the main source of gas supplying pipeline in El Arish.

The attackers used explosives to blow up the 240km- long pipeline in the town of Lihfen in northern Sinai near the Gaza Strip and the army shut down the gas supplies to Israel and Jordan, Egyptian officials said.

"It's big terrorist operation," the state-tv quoted an official as saying, who blamed the attack on "foreign elements."

The attack on the pipeline came after Israel, which receives 40 per cent of its gas demand from Egypt, expressed concern that the supplies could be threatened if a new regime takes over in Cairo...


The SITE intelligence group, which monitors Al-Qaeda and other Islamist websites, said some groups had been urging Islamic militants to attack the pipeline to Israel while the security situation in Egypt is in flux.

Egypt is a modest gas exporter, using pipelines to export gas to Israel and also to Jordan and other regional states.

SITE intelligence being, of course, Rita Katz, the notorious Zionist disinfo peddler of ZERO CREDIBILITY...

Problems in the Sinai, problems that raise concerns in Israel about Israel's security, and which can be blamed on Islamic terrorists, would be very helpful to JUSTIFY some sort of military intervention.

We assume that is one of Israel's goals - to occupy the Sinai.

Turns out, the Israeli section was not hit.

Subsequent reports said the attack struck a part of the pipeline carrying gas to Jordan.

The Israeli section was not hit, but gas flow was interrupted to prevent damage.

In his Cairo speech, Obama said: "I have come here to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world."

The new beginning would seem to involve the USA destroying the last remaining parts of the Moslem world that are prosperous and at peace.

ISRAEL WANTS MUBARAK TOPPLED

Mubarak in China.

Under Mubarak, Egypt was too strong for Israel to attack.

Lebanon looked an easier target for Israel.

Egypt may now become like Lebanon.

When might Israel, and the USA, have decided to topple Mubarak?

In March 2010, Debka (which, as a comment below reminds us, may provide disinformation) reported that Mubarak had cancer.

In July 2010 late stage pancreatic cancer was reportedly found in Mubarak. (Mubarak Shaken After Cancer Surgery ...)

But even before then, the USA and Israel may have decided to plot against Egypt.

Israel would like Egypt to be like Lebanon?

In 1948 Israel was at war with Egypt

In 1956: Israel tried to seize the Suez Canal and topple Nasser's regime in Egypt. Israel hoped it might also at the same time grab the West Bank, parts of the Sinai, and parts of Lebanon. (The myth of Israel's strategic genius. )

In 1967: Israel seized the Sinai in Egypt, as well as the West Bank, Golan Heights and Gaza Strip. (The myth of Israel's strategic genius.)

In 1973 Israel was at war with Egypt.

In 1981 President Mubarak came to power and he "has effectively boycotted Israel.

"Egypt's state-controlled newspapers continued to demonize Israel.

"All ties on the bilateral level between Egypt and Israel have been frozen including tourism, commerce, and industry." (Egypt and Israel: A Reversible Peace :: Middle East Quarterly)

Under Mubarak, Egypt became stronger economically and militarily; too strong for Israel to attack.

Lebanon

In 1991, the CIA's Muslim Brotherhood began pressing more strongly for a strict Islamic state.

In 1999, Mubarak visited China.

He signed a joint communique with Chinese President Jiang Zeming on establishing a strategic and cooperative relationship between Egypt and China.

In 2002: Mubarak denounced Israel

Mubarak made a televised speech bitterly condemning Israel and accusing it of using state terrorism to crush the Palestinians.

Mubarak said that following their barbaric and systematic aggression, the Israelis were in the process of destroying evidence of the horrendous crimes perpetrated under the pretext of fighting terrorism.

In 2003: Mubarak opposed the Iraq invasion.

In 2003: Israel protested Egypt's use of unmanned aerial vehicles, drones, to spy on Israeli military facilities.

Israel reportedly threatened to shoot down the drones whose flights violate the peace treaty and prompted increased concern over Egypt's military buildup (Jerusalem Post, December 21, 2003) (Myth and Fact: Egypt's Peace Treaty with Israel)

Egypt has purchased Scud missiles from North Korea and is believed to possess chemical weapons (Center for Strategic and International Studies, United Nations (UN) Institute for Disarmament Research). (Myth and Fact: Egypt's Peace Treaty with Israel)

Israel wants the Sinai?

In March 2010, it was reported that Mubarak had cancer.

In April 2010, it was reported that a weekly magazine aiming to link Arab bloggers with politicians and the elderly was launched in Egypt at the initiative of a group backed by US billionaire George Soros. (Soros backs Egypt weekly to give Arab bloggers exposure.)

In April 2010, it was reported by the Jerusalem Post that "Egypt has taken an aggressive stance against Israel, with Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit calling Israel an 'enemy' state." - (Egypt warns of Israel-Lebanon escalation)

In June 2010, Egypt re-opened the Rafah border with Gaza (Rafah crossing to remain open indefinitely - News)

In August 2010, Egyptian security forces seized a ship loaded with explosives coming from Israel and arrested its owner in Port Said. (Egypt seizes explosives on ship coming from Israel - People's.)

In November 2010: Israel tells its citizens to leave Egypt. (Israel tells its citizens to leave Egypt.)

On 20 December 2010 (ISRAEL DESTABILISING EGYPT) we learnt that Egypt arrested members of an Israeli spy ring within its borders.

On 1 January 2011, we read that a group calling itself Al-Qaeda (the CIA-Mossad) may be responsible for the seven dead and 24 injured in an attack on a church in Egypt

In January 2011, we read that Egypt's Irrigation Minister has dismissed the possibility that Egypt would supply Israel with water from the Nile. (Egypt and Israel, a souring relationship?)

In January 2011: Mubarak warned Israel against a new Gaza war Israel News.Net)

ISRAEL'S PLANS FOR EGYPT

Desert Girl

Egyptian girl by dvlazar



What does Israel really think about Egypt?



1. We suspect that Israel wants Egypt to be more fundamentalist, feudal, backward, weak and easy to control.



That should not be too difficult.



According to the Pew Research Center, Washington:



82% of Egyptian Moslems support the stoning of adulterers.



77% support amputations and whipping of thieves.



84% support the death sentence for apostasy.



http://pewglobal.org/files/2010/12/Pew-Global-Attitudes-Muslim-Report-FINAL-December-2-2010.pdf





Once Mubarak is toppled by the CIA-Mossad-NATO, Israel may again find an excuse to invade Egypt. Israel wants to control the Nile and the Suez Canal.



2. Does Israel want us to think it is frightened of the CIA's Muslim Brotherhood?



On 1 February 2011, Time magazine reports that "As the Egypt's Crisis Grows, So Do the Anxieties in Israel"



"Shlomo Avineri, a political scientist at Hebrew University... describes two possibilities:

"military rule, with or without Mubarak as figurehead,

"or 'chaos and disintegration' that ends with rule by Islamists and nationalists descended from Gamal Abdel Nasser, Egypt's second President.



"Israelis most dread the ascent of the Muslim Brotherhood (who are linked to the Masons and the CIA - Aangirfan)....



"'What will not come to pass is ... a democratic neighbor, because democracies don't appear overnight,' Avineri tells TIME...



" U.S. diplomatic cables published by WikiLeaks last year included diplomats' complaints that the Egyptian military continued to regard Israel as its principal enemy and prepared for war in the Sinai Desert, which lies between them."









3. Israel wants good relations with all its neighbours?



Think of Gaza, Lebanon, Turkey...



Egypt crisis: Israel faces danger in every direction



A comment on the above story at the UK Telegraph:



"Why murder Mabouh in Dubai? Why murder Sulieman in Syria? Why murder those nuclear scientists in Iran?



"...You murdered those Turkish activists on the Mavi Marmara..."




A Friendly Smile In Cairo

Cairo by El-Branden Brazil



4. What is the Israeli attitude to fundamentalist Islamic countries like Iran?



Israel supplied the Ayatollahs with weapons.



According Trita Parsi:[2]



Arms sales to Iran totaled an estimated $500 million from 1980 to 1983 according to the Jaffee Institute for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University.[3]



"According to Ahmad Haidari, "an Iranian arms dealer working for the Khomeini regime, roughly 80% of the weaponry bought by Tehran" immediately after the onset of the war originated in Israel. [4]



Arms shipments from the U.S. to Iran in the Iran-Contra Affair were facilitated by Israel.



Israel is reported to have supplied instructors and non-armaments help to Iran for the war effort.



Israel kept Iranian planes flying in spite of a lack of spares; and Israeli instructors taught Iranian commanders how to handle troops.



There were never less than about a 100 Israeli advisers and technicians in Iran at any time throughout the war, living in a carefully guarded and secluded camp just north of Tehran; they remained there even after the ceasefire.[8]



Recently declassified Pentagon documents reveal the 1980s operation called 'Tipped Kettle,' in which weapons stolen by Israel from the PLO in Lebanon were transferred to the Contras and to anti-American elements in Iran.



(The truth about Israel, Iran and 1980s U.S. arms deals - Haaretz ...)



El Caire, Egipte.

Cairo by JordiGP



5. On 1 February 2011, Winter Patriot (http://www.winterpatriot.com/) puts the Egyptian Revolution in Context

Among the points made:

1. Israel wants three things to come out of this conflict-



A pipeline transporting water from the Nile to Israel for their swimming pools.



Control of the Suez Canal, as it is a choke point for trade between Europe and Asia (read China) and



The break up of Egypt to remove it as a military force and as an economic ally of China



2. The Zionists want a land stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates.

3. Mubarak recently stated outright that no Egyptian water would be delivered to Israel.



4. Israel was involved in the coup in Tunisia. Events in Tunisia increased pressure on Mubarak.

5. There already exists a pipeline delivering water from the Nile to Al Arish in the Sinai, forty kms from the Israeli border.

There is the possibility of a future Israeli invasion into Sinai and onto the Suez Canal.



Egypt by Joey Harrison

6. Israel intends to plant itself in the middle of the oil trade routes.

The pipelines to the ports of Haifa and Eilat together with the Suez canal are critical control points to choke off oil to China in the event of war.



7. The US and Israel are currently causing trouble for Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and now Egypt.

All these countries adjoin the strategic sea route of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Other countries on the Red Sea are Saudi Arabia, Eritrea and Djibouti. Can they expect the same? I think so.



8. In Egypt, the protesters are being set up as patsies.

The new "extreme" government will provide a cassus belli for war with Israel who will plead 'self defence', as they always do.



The resulting war and internal civil strife for Egypt will lead to it being broken up into at least two countries, Upper and Lower Egypt and weakening and impoverishing it in the process.

Old Egypt



9. The US, the UK through NATO together with Israel are past masters at Balkanising countries that have strategic importance to them.

The process impoverishes these countries through weakening their ability to resist the criminal trade in drugs and humans (incl body parts) that NATO sponsors.

Kosovo, for instance, is far worse off now than it ever was. As is every single country that has seen military intervention from the great liberators, US and NATO and the budding colonialists, Israel.

This fate awaits the people of Egypt. They will cease to be a military threat of any kind.

10. However the Globalists have had their failures.

They have failed to maintain control over Russia with the rise of Vladimir Putin. They failed in their invasion of Lebanon in 2006.

They have failed to overthrow and retake the governments of Venezeula, Bolivia and Equador.



Allen Pope during his trial in Jakarta, 28 December 1959

Some bloggers believe the Egyptian revolt has not been long planned by the CIA-Mossad-NATO.

These are the sort of people who cheered for Obama before he got elected.

These are the sort of people who have never heard of Allen Lawrence Pope and Operation Haik



Mubarak is very rich, but so is Dick Cheney.

And let's not forget $1.3 TRILLION dollar tax gift to the richest 43,000 multi-millionaires/billionaires in the U.S.A.

Some figures (Egypt.):

1. Between 1980 and 2007 Egypt’s Human Development Index (HDI) rose 42%.

2. Egypt’s average annual HDI growth was 10th fastest worldwide and almost double the global average.

3. Between 2005 & 2008 Poverty, as defined by those living under $2/day, fell over 11%

4. Only 16% of the population now live on less than $2 per day.

5. The Gini Index, the international measure of wealth inequality, fell 7% between 1999 & 2007.

6. The share of the poorest 10% in national income rose 5% and the share of richest 10% feel 6% in the same period.

The ratio of the wealth of the richest to the poorest 10% also fell 10%.

"Revolutions and Manipulations" are reported on at the Veterans Today Network (Jan 29, 2011)‎



According to unnamed intelligence sources:



"A cadre within the governments of Egypt, Israel and the United States, are seeking to expand Israel’s influence to the Nile and into Africa, has gotten behind Egypt’s new Vice President, Omar Suleiman, Israel’s 'man in Cairo'...



"Reports from intelligence sources in Europe and North Africa, sources with a good track record, tell of Israeli mobilization and troop movements toward the border of the Sinai...



"The long term objective of US, Israeli and Egyptian aims ... to split Egypt, followed by a destabilization based on the Tunisian model, of Northern Sudan...



"The next scheduled targets are: Uganda, Somalia, Eritrea and Kenya"

WHAT THE USA REALLY THINKS ABOUT EGYPT

In 1967 Israeli and US intelligence decided to attack the USS Liberty, and blame Egypt. By the end of the 1967 war, Israel had seized the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan, and the Golan Heights from Syria. (Thy Weapon of War: The 1967 Israeli Attack on the USS Liberty ...)

It looks like the USA decided to dump Egypt some time ago.

The Foreign Policy Research Institute is a US think tank associated with people such as Henry Kissinger, Dov Zakheim and Daniel Pipes.

In 2009, it gave us an insight into US thinking on Egypt.

At FPRI, Trudy Kuehner wrote: The U.S. and Egypt Since the Suez Crisis - FPRI

Some quotes:

"There is a sense that the relationship has run its course...

"Its foundations are either weak or obsolete.

"The Egyptian-Israeli peace is cold...

"The U.S. in the 1970s did not have bases throughout the Persian Gulf. Thirty years later, U.S. military bases dot the Gulf.

"Now, there are no Soviets to contain. This relationship has been running on bureaucratic inertia.

(Egyptian Lantern Slides)

"So what should policymakers do? The debate falls along three axes.

"First, some argue that we should go back to authoritarian stability...

"The second axis around which the debate revolves is that we need to undertake a program of democratization and reform in Egypt...

"We need to provide some sort of soft landing...

"Finally, the third stream of thought, an emerging one, is that ... we need to step back from this relationship...

"There is no compelling reason to have a strategic relationship with Egypt, or for Egypt to be the second largest recipient of our foreign aid."

~~

Soros helped Arab bloggers gain exposure.

The story from the mainstream media is that:

(A) Mubarak is in bed with Israel

(B) Mubarak has not helped Egypt.

What is the truth about Mubarak?

1. Egypt opposes Globalisation.

Mubarak "has failed to deregulate and privatize the economy." (Egypt and Israel: A Reversible Peace :: Middle East Quarterly)

2. Egypt has been making good economic progress

Egypt has enjoyed economic growth averaging 4%–5% over the past 25 years.

The Egyptian economy was expected to grow at 6.1% in 2010/11. (Egypt - African Economic Outlook)

"Egypt held up well during the first round of the global financial crisis thanks to its reformed banking sector and low integration into global financial markets as a whole." (Egypt - African Economic Outlook)

Pawns?

3. Mubarak opposes Israel.

"The Egyptian minister of defense and war production, Muhammad Hussein at-Tantawi, was reported to have told a closed forum a few years ago that Egypt should prepare for a future war with Israel." (Egypt and Israel: A Reversible Peace :: Middle East Quarterly)

In 1981 President Mubarak came to power and he "has effectively boycotted Israel."

Egypt's state-controlled newspapers continued to demonize Israel.

"All ties on the bilateral level between Egypt and Israel have been frozen including tourism, commerce, and industry." (Egypt and Israel: A Reversible Peace :: Middle East Quarterly)

4. Israel and the USA want to topple Mubarak.

Under Mubarak, the Egyptian military has seen Israel as the enemy and has not cooperated fully with the USA.

Egypt has resisted sending troops to Iraq and Afghanistan. (US frustrated with Egypt military)

Egypt opposes US Globalisation.

Emad Gad, an expert at Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, says:

"Despite Israel’s peace treaty with Egypt, Egypt remains Israel's primary threat in the region.

"Israel sees Egypt as its main obstacle to regional dominance."

Israel wants to grab a part of Egypt.

Some History:

Egypt and Israel were at war in the years: 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973.

In 1977 President Anwar Sadat decided that Egypt could only get back Sinai by signing a peace treaty with Israel.

In April 2010, it was reported that a weekly magazine aiming to link Arab bloggers with politicians and the elderly was launched in Egypt at the initiative of a group backed by US billionaire George Soros. (Soros backs Egypt weekly to give Arab bloggers exposure.)

It would seem that the USA and Israel decided some time ago to topple Egypt's president Mubarak.

"The U.S. strategy for three decades ... has been to bet on Mubarak... But that cannot possibly be a smart bet for the next decade." - Elliott Abrams on 20 January 2011 (interview)

Abrams, a neo-con Zionist, was involved in Iran-Contra.

According to PressTV (Mossad was behind the Egypt church blast):

"Political experts believe that the US, the Israeli regime and Britain have crafted a long-term joint security program in the Middle East and North Africa...

"Part of the scenario is to ... split Egypt into a Christian-populated country and a Muslim-populated one ...

"The West's agenda is to lay the groundwork for the formation of a Coptic government in Upper Nile in Egypt...

"Therefore, the recent scuffles between Muslims and Christians in Naj' Hammadi region in Qena governorate in southern Egypt as well as the blast at the Alexandria church are a prelude for the dangerous Western-engineered scenario to unfold in one of the key Islamic-Arab nations."

Netanyau meets Omar Suleiman, head of Egyptian Inteligence on 4 November 2010 in Tel Aviv.

According to the powerful US Council on Foreign Relations (Egypt - Council on Foreign Relations):

"The Suez Canal remains critical to the security of the Persian Gulf and its vast energy reserves, as well as to global trade.

"Egypt also maintains the region's largest and most powerful Arab military."

It seems that Obama would like to topple Egypt's President Mubarak, and replace him with someone more reliable.

The Pentagon wants the Egyptian military to help advance the US-Israeli agenda.

Egyptian

Who might replace Mubarak?

Some unknown military figure could emerge.

Or spy chief Omar Suleiman could take power in some kind of coup.

Suleiman was trained at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare School and Center at Fort Bragg, in the 1980s. (Egypt's Next Strongman Foreign Policy)

Suleiman continues to have close contacts with US intelligence and military officials.

On Facebook, Twitter, and blogs, Suleiman is receiving support. (Egypt's Next Strongman Foreign Policy)

Sounds spooky.

"The U.S. strategy for three decades ... has been to bet on Mubarak... But that cannot possibly be a smart bet for the next decade." - Elliott Abrams on 20 January 2011 (interview)

Abrams, a neo-con Zionist, was involved in Iran-Contra.

According to PressTV (Mossad behind Egypt church blast):

"Political experts believe that the US, the Israeli regime and Britain have crafted a long-term joint security program in the Middle East and North Africa...

"Part of the scenario is to divide Sudan into northern and southern parts, split Egypt into a Christian-populated country and a Muslim-populated one and trigger a new civil strife in Lebanon among Shias and Sunnis...

"The establishment of a non-Arab Christian government in the heart of Islamic Sudan will result in the Israeli regime infiltrating into the east bank of the river Nile, only to be a pain in the neck for Muslim nations in North Africa.

"After south Sudan is separated from the north, the Israeli regime will, thanks to its physical presence on the ground, take control of the water flow in the river and hold the 11 countries on both sides of the Nile to political ransom.

"Leaders in south of the African country had already announced they would establish broad political relations with Tel Aviv once they break away from the north.

"Another scenario on the West's agenda is to lay the groundwork for the formation of a Coptic government in Upper Nile in Egypt...

"Therefore, the recent scuffles between Muslims and Christians in Naj' Hammadi region in Qena governorate in southern Egypt as well as the blast at the Alexandria church are a prelude for the dangerous Western-engineered scenario to unfold in one of the key Islamic-Arab nations."

ARE THE SPOOKS DESTABILISING EGYPT, IN PREPARATION FOR A COUP?

Netanyau meets Omar Suleiman, head of Egyptian Inteligence on 4 November 2010 in Tel Aviv.

According to the powerful US Council on Foreign Relations (Egypt - Council on Foreign Relations):

"The Suez Canal remains critical to the security of the Persian Gulf and its vast energy reserves, as well as to global trade.

"Egypt also maintains the region's largest and most powerful Arab military."

It seems that Obama would like to topple Egypt's President Mubarak, and replace him with someone more reliable.

The Pentagon wants the Egyptian military to help advance the US-Israeli agenda.

But the Egyptian military sees Israel as the enemy.

And Egypt has resisted sending troops to Iraq and Afghanistan. (US frustrated with Egypt military)

Egyptian

Israel would like to topple Mubarak, it seems.

Israel and Egypt have many ties.

13% of the Israeli army's civilian workforce are Egyptians. (Egypt and Israel, a souring relationship?)

Early in 2010, Egypt and Israel made a gas deal allowing Israel to buy the gas at prices lower than its market value.

However, more recently Egypt's Irrigation Minister dismissed the possibility that Egypt would supply Israel with water from the Nile. (Egypt and Israel, a souring relationship?)

On 20 December 2010 (ISRAEL DESTABILISING EGYPT) we learnt that Egypt arrested members of an Israeli spy ring within its borders.

Egypt claims the spies kidnapped foreign nationals.

Reportedly, the aim is to destabilize security in the Sinai.

Emad Gad, an expert at Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, says: "Despite Israel’s peace treaty with Egypt, Egypt remains Israel's primary threat in the region.

"Israel sees Egypt as its main obstacle to regional dominance."

George Galloway, alleged disinformation agent, has been attacking Mubarak.

On 1 January 2011, we read that a group calling itself Al-Qaeda may be responsible for the seven dead and 24 injured in an attack on a church in Egypt

It is worth noting that OBAMA'S FRIENDS TARGET CHRISTIANS

Israel attacked Egypt in 1967.

Israel claimed that it attacked because Nasser had placed troops in part of Egypt called the Sinai.

The CIA's assessment was that Egypt's military presence in the Sinai was defensive. (Israel's attack on Egypt in June '67 was not 'preemptive' FPJ)

Gamal Mubarak (left) and Omar Suleiman

Who might replace Mubarak?

Some unknown military figure could emerge.

Or spy chief Omar Suleiman could take power in some kind of coup.

Suleiman was trained at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare School and Center at Fort Bragg, in the 1980s. (Egypt's Next Strongman Foreign Policy)

Suleiman continues to have close contacts with US intelligence and military officials.

On Facebook, Twitter, and blogs, Suleiman is receiving support. (Egypt's Next Strongman Foreign Policy)

Sounds spooky.
