Very well put. Surprising me that after all you have written, there is still so much more to write about.

Muslims will never accept any other religion to be on the same podium as Islam. Israel could be a Christian country. It could be a Hindu country. It could be a Shintoist country.

So why bother being their friends?

The answers from these creatures rejecting Israel as a Jewish or non-islamic country ( capital letter avoided on purpose) demonstrate that Israel's give away of real estate will never be reciprocated in tangible deeds and the intangible is short term; from a few weeks to two generations.

The egypt- Israel peace treaty technically exists but egypt is accumulating great amounts of military equipment, partially finacned by the oil fields developed by Israel and given to them in exchange for a couple of generations of peace.

The hatred for Israel is to be found in the egypt press and pop culture re: big hit song " Why I hate Israel "
