Charlie the Nazis never won more than 37% of the vote, I am very well versed in WWII and pre world war II, how Hitler came to power, Popen, the enabling act, etc. I do not need a lecture.

Okay so it is better to have a “democracy” that is belligerent and kills Jews than Mubarak, that is utter stupidity. Just admit you were wrong.

You have basically admitted you were wrong first you supported the removal of Mubarak and now you say “Mubarak was eventually going to go”? Which one?

Also why has Qaddaffi (with a pathetic army) has stayed in power so long, and Assad where you have an apartheid Government controlling 90% of the population. Further, Mubarak was a war hero to the Egyptians, and the army protected him even after the revolt. If he had some allies like the type of an ally America is to Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan etc. which all far worse, he easily could have crushed the revolt with one of the most powerful armies in the ME.

#6 yswo,

In the (fixed) German elections of 1933, the Nazis still only managed 43.9% of the vote, winning 44.5% of the seats in the Reichstag. The problem was that less than a month after the election, every non-socialist member of the Reichstag voted to give Hitler yemach shmo dictatorial powers. (Every socialist member voted no.)

#6 yswo,

Mubarak was eventually going to go. Relying on an unpopular octogenarian dictator for the long run was a really stupid policy.

Israel definitely has the military/technical ability to stop the flotilla (even without firing a shot).

The only question is whether the spineless government of Israel feels it will have to get Sheik Obama’s haskama to do so.

The FM of Turkey is a nut-job who wants to restore the Ottoman Empire, but since this really important story hasn’t been posted on YeshivaWorld yet, I will comment.

Unfortunately everything that I thought about Egypt is unraveling before our eyes.

This was the biggest foreign policy blunder in decades. This is even worse than Iraq which will be a failed state where Iran runs the show, as opposed to Egypt which controls the Suez canal is ethnically united, will allow Hamas to arm , with an extremely powerful American armed army; the situation could lead to regional war.

By a margin of 54% to 36%, Egyptians say their country should annul the treaty with Israel. 75% view muslim brotherhood favorably.

I do not know how to put any positive spin on this, anyone who supported the disposition on Mubarak needs to do some soul searching. In 1933 elections in Germany lead to the death of 6 million Jews, in 2011 elections in Egypt it will lead to X number of dead.

I agree with Turkey, Israel should not repeat past mistakes. They should stand by idly when some mysterious foreign- power sink the flotilla in international waters.

Turkey has to come to its senses. But pandering to the evil terrorists Turkey will only cause terrorism to escalate in Turkey as we have seen with past sponsors and advocates or condoners of terrorists where it backfired and ravaged their own countries. Turkey is saying to the jihadists “come here and overturn our country” because by espousing the flotillas cause they in effect are siding with the terrorists against israel.

Blockades are LEGAL acts of war under international law and can be enforced in international waters. Israel must NOT allow this “flotilla” to reach Gaza, as the next flotilla will be full of munitions.
