That's Iraq, not Egypt. And that quote says nothing about harming Jews. It simply calls for an end to the racist policy of Zionism.

By the way, we have to question the truth of that quote. That same article refers to Nasser's cutting of of the Straits of Tiran as:

"... an act of war. We wonder how the United States would respond if Canada suddenly blockaded the Saint Lawrence Seaway to all United States shipping!"

In reality, Israel hardly used the Straits of Tiran. And Nasser did not object to resolving this case in court. So, this was hardly an act of war.

This is just one lie of many located in that article. So, it is likely that the Iraq quote is fabricated or distorted.
