Egypt To Israel No Real Peace with Arabs

Egypt has warned Israel not to take peace for granted.

So there you have peace - with an Arab nation. America has juiced them with aid and armaments and planes -we have supplied them with roughly 150+ F-16's, apaches and M-1's. In fact Eygpt has just about the same number of US built warplanes as does Israel. And this is the end result. The House of Representatives has just defeated a proposal to reduce by $100 million aid for Egypt. The US has provided Egypt with $1.3 billion a year in military aid since 1979, and an average of $815 million a year in economic assistance. All told, Egypt has received over $50 billion in US largesse since 1975.  Al-jizz reported the United States has freed 300 million dollars in aid to Egypt earlier this month. Thats alot of jyzya.

Carl reports here;

Egypt is the third largest recipient of US foreign aid, which aid it receives as a direct result of its having signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1979. Under that treaty, Israel gave Egypt every last grain of sand in the Sinai which Israel had captured from the Egyptians twice, once in 1956 and once again in 1967.

Today, the head of the Egyptian Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee Mustafa al-Fekki, a senior member of President Hosni Mubarak's ruling party, said Israel should not think the "peace reached with an Arab country can be guaranteed while it continues to perpetrate its 'crimes and aggressions'."

Why do we send money to Arabs AND Israel? Seems like we're funding BOTH sides of an argument, which is ridiculous. Especially since the Arab national industry is hating the United States, in lieu of developing anything the world might buy.

Just remember what happened to Egypt when they defied the G_d of Israel. Arabs should read accounts in the Bible of what happened to '------ites' when they continue in violence and false worship. The LORDs grace in merciful but there is a line in the sand. And remember HIS word is forever and it is still very valid.

"Egyptian technology" will be no match for the tricked-out jets of the IAF. And they know it.

The Egyptians might have the same number of planes, but they don't have all the bells and whistles that go with them. Israel oth, has helped to develop some of the tech and reaps the rewards. To top it off, show me pilots that are better than the Israeli's in that region of the world.

Let's not forget that Israel not only gave over the Sinai but did so in accordance with the Egyptian demand that the conceded territory must be made JewFree before they would accept it ... and it was.
