Nadine this was quite obvious at Durban South Africa due to the outburst of hatred there, and only reinforces my assumption that Egypt is a hot bed of extremism and hatred toward Jews and the Western World. The most worrisome aspect is that the deep hatred is propagated by educated people.

As the Egyptian can not come in a frontal attack against the Western World they use the Jews and Israel as the target as Israel as a democracy resembles the values of the Western World who they hate so deeply

Visiting NY Mayor-elect Bloomberg brands Arafat terrorist

By Ha'aretz Service







Visiting New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg branded Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat a terrorist, adding that he understood comparisons between the Palestinian leader and Osama Bin Laden, in remarks broadcast on Army Radio on Monday.

Bloomberg, outgoing Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, New York Governor George Pataki and Mort Zuckerman, Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of major American Organisations, toured Jerusalem on Sunday as part of a New York mission of solidarity with Israel. The group visited the sites of recent suicide bombings and attended a rally in the city's Zion Square, flanked by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert. Sharon and Olmert have repeatedly drawn parallels between Arafat and Bin Laden.

"They're both terrorists," Bloomberg told the radio in a reference to Arafat and Bin Laden. "You can compare them anyway you want, but I think there's no question that the terrorism that America has suffered at the hands of Bin Laden is very similar to the terrorism in Israel."
