"Stealing land from Egypt? Who'd they steal it from?...Egypt didn't even exist as a country until AFTER the Ottoman empire was defeated by the Western states."

Considering that Egypt existed from 3200 BC to 30 BC it's difficult to answer the question. But certainly if one accepts Israel's right to steal land in the Middle East based on Biblical references one could argue that Egypt has a right to steal its ancient areas back. These include, among other countries, Israel. A second thought, Italy has a history in the ME, so they have a right to occupy(steal), among other places, Israel, Egypt, and other countries. The list of potential thieving nations is longer.
