AND THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD HASN'T EVEN TAKEN OVER YET!Egypt’s shifts are likely to alter the balance of power in the region, allowing Iran new access to a previously implacable foe and creating distance between itself and Israel, which has been watching the changes with some alarm. “We are troubled by some of the recent actions coming out of Egypt,” said one senior Israeli official, citing a “rapprochement between Iran and Egypt” as well as “an upgrading of the relationship between Egypt and Hamas.”
“These developments could have strategic implications on Israel’s security,” the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the issues were still under discussion in diplomatic channels. “In the past Hamas was able to rearm when Egypt was making efforts to prevent that. How much more can they build their terrorist machine in Gaza if Egypt were to stop?”
Israel had relied on Egypt’s help to police the border with Gaza, where arms and other contraband were smuggled to Hamas through tunnels.
LOSING EGYPT IS EITHER A FEATURE OF OBAMA'S LONG AND DEEPLY HELD POSTMODERNIST ANTI-ZIONISM, OR A BUG OF HIS ADMINISTRATION'S INCOMPETENCE.
NO MATTER. THE RESULT IS THE SAME - A POSTMODERN LEFTIST'S DREAM: JIHADISM GROWS IN POWER AS THE USA, AND THEREBY THE WEST, DECLINES.
(WE'RE TRULY AT A VERY LOW POINT, WHEN YOU CONSIDER WE HAVE ALSO LOST TURKEY AND LEBANON TO THE JIHADISTS.)
