Many people in that neighborhood know that U.S. support for dictators in that region have been to protect U.S. access to resources in the region as well as protecting Israel from having to be held accountable for their endless rejection of UN resolution and other international agreements...demonstrated by their persistent building of illegal settlements in the West Bank and illegal housing in E Jerusalem.
How much has Israel and the U.S. played in this military coup in Egypt? How much does the 1.3 billion that the U.S. gives to Egypt playing in this military coup?
Waiting to hear what former President Jimmy Carter is going to say about the situation in Egypt as well as former head of the IAEA Mr. El Baradei...can your guest share if they have heard anything out of either one of them about what is taking place?
Wow a guest told the truth about Israel's, the U.S's interest in Egypt. President Obama has said very little about the Egyptian military coup
Samer Shehata assistant professor of Arab politics, Georgetown University Center for Contemporary Arab Studies is really addressing the issues. Israel supports the Egyptian military coup because it serves Israel's purpose. Screw the Egyptian people if they vote for the Muslim Brotherhood. Screw an election...this does not serve Israel
