"Maybe stop foreign aid to both Egypt AND Pak???"

I think our military 'aid' (gifts of the American taxpayer) to the entire region has been vastly too much for too long already.

What? Something like $4.5 Billion to Israel and $3.0 Billion to Egypt each and every year since the 'seventies? (Saudis mostly pay hard cash for their goodies, they can afford it... while Pak is a little of both)

We have become an enabler.

"What could Israel have done about this?"

(In case you didn't notice: Israel SUPPORTS this Egyptian arms transfer to Fatah. It could not happen *without* their approval, and it's moving through Israeli military checkpoints.)
