Arab Spring, antisemitism, anti-Zionism, Islamism, Israel, Egypt, Cairo  : Dry Bones cartoon.

The latest, from YNet:
Egyptians plan million-man rally against Israel

"Facebook groups call for mass protest outside Israeli embassy in Cairo, as protesters demand ambassador be expelled, embassy be closed

Egyptian daily al-Youm al-Saba'a reported Wednesday that Egyptian citizens have created groups on Facebook and other social networks calling for "a million-man protest" outside the Israeli embassy in Cairo on Friday.

The protesters say the focus of the demonstration will be the demand to have the Israeli ambassador expelled from Egypt and Israel's embassy in the capital closed." -more

And this from the National Review:

Annals of the Arab Spring: Al-Qaeda Launches from Egypt to Attack Israel

"In Egypt, where the public has always been predominantly ant-Israeli — in contrast to the Mubarak regime, which was pro-American and maintained the peace with Israel — demonstrations against Israel have broken out. Crowds are burning the Egyptian flag and one demonstrator scaled the 15-story wall of the Israeli embassy, tore down the Israeli flag, and replaced it with an Egyptian flag. "-more

Out-STANDING!! The horror of that moronically-grinning face... reminds me of the Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man in Ghostbusters.

(but shouldn't it be "kegelcartoons"?)

So they want to remove Israel's only excuse not to nuke Egypt? They ARE smart. Smart as a sponge.

Didn't Dry Bones quote someone in his cartoon memetics presentation about revolutionary forces don't need a god, but they do need a devil to function.

Well, once again, we Jews and our country are the devil. We're the favourite target for people to draw horns and a pointed tail on.

In the end, they always come after us. Sigh.

Savagely brilliant. This must be considered one of your finest.

Not a good situation in Egypt.

Time for the one state solution, Israel should take over the entire Middle East and just have one state.

Everyone would be better off. The Arabs would never have it so good.

Unfortunately for all of us, some things never change.

בה The Jewish People and Israel can count our friends on one hand. History has shown that even our friends can not always be counted upon. We must be careful in whom we place our trust,but at the same time we must accept friends who are standing with us and actively supporting Israel. At the present time the most helpful allies we have are Evangelistic Christian groups and in particular a man Glenn Beck,and his many followers who are demonstrating an extraordinary understanding of Israel's position as well as the destiny of the Jewish People.. Yes he is a religious man with whom we may have differences as to beliefs,but he and millions such as he are saying that the Land of Israel belongs to Am Yisrael and deserves the full support of Christians who believe in G-d.This is a far cry from what was the Christian belief (still is amongst some) to kill Jews to save their souls.
As a Jew, I will always monitor what is being said and done, but Ha Shem works in ways sometimes difficult to understand. We should accept allies (never unconditionally) and welcome them to help Israel and Jews in our times of need.
The destiny of Am Yisrael is clear.We will persevere with or without human help, but there are times to accept honest offers.
Am Yisrael Chai.
Shabbat Shalom to all and to all who truly stand with the Jewish State of Israel.

Another voice chiming in - this has to be one of your greatest. Hard to use the word LOVE when describing it, but I do. Would make a great collector's print.Thanks for the smile through the tears.

Being upset about a foreign government just straight-up murdering several of your countrymen without reason is absolutely, literally, undoubtably the same thing as wanting to "Kill the Jews".
Also nice job equating anti-zionism with anti-semitism in the tags.

G-d's promise still stands to bless those who bless Israel. Egypt has enjoyed many blessings over the years that it made peace with Israel... and it sounds as if those blessings are about to be removed and that chastisement (for Egypt's good) will begin. See Isaiah 19 for what G-d plans to do and why. http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt1019.htm

Off topic, but the Coptic Church has opposed a massive rally against Israel.
