What’s Egypt doing during the Israel-Palestinian wars? From Eric Margolis at lewrockwell.com:
The massacre in Gaza of Palestinian civilians – half of them women and children – has brought growing worldwide condemnation of Israel and a surge in anti-Jewish anger.
However, the co-author of this historic crime is not only Israel’s far right government and its patron, the United States. To the list of malefactors we must add a major culprit which has so far escaped condemnation and charges of war crimes and human rights abuses.
That is, of course, the land of the Pharaohs, Egypt. Its dictator ‘Field Marshall’ Abdel el-Sisi has collaborated with Israel and the US in the bloody campaign to crush Gaza’s Hamas movement. Sisi, like the Saudis and Gulf sheikdoms, had a deep-seated fear of Hamas, which was democratically elected. Hamas called for a revolution in the Arab world, free elections, and an end to its status as a western colony.
West Africa is undergoing a similar challenge as its nationalist groups (‘terrorists’ to state-controlled western media,) struggle to throw off military, political and financial domination by France, Britain and the United States – the New Colonialism.
