The issue of Egyptians being married to Israeli citizens has been discussed very heavily in the Egyptian newspapers recently. Various T.V. programs were done about this issue and various articles written. Calls have been made to take the Egyptian citizenship from those Egyptians and many accusations have been made against them accusing them of being traitors and spies. Almost all those reports have talked about the number of these cases as being 10,000 Egyptians and most of them have mentioned that they are married to Israeli Jews in some cases but in most to 1948 Arabs that hold an Israeli passport.

You are Anti Semitic: Admit It even if just for Yourselves
Liberal Wall - Thu, 2007-11-08 18:53 By
The Jewish Synagogue in Cairo was reopened just a couple of days ago. The Synagogue had been closed for some time for renovation. This celebration should have been a great celebration of this historic building’s opening and a time to celebrate the long Jewish presence in Egypt. Many articles could have been written, and many lectures could have been held to celebrate this opening and to remember the rich history that Egyptian Jewish citizens had in this country. The Jewish community in Egypt may number close to 100 people currently, but before 1952, Egypt had had a vibrant and culturally rich Jewish community that numbered around 80,000.

Al Jazeera to replace CNN in Israel
Arab Media - Tue, 2007-10-30 06:02 By CCR
Cox News Service reported last week that Israel's largest cable provider plans to replace CNN with Al Jazeera. According to the article, the American news network "is regularly accused of biased coverage by conservative and right-wing Israelis, as well as U.S.-based pro-Israel organizations that monitor American news coverage of the Jewish state." So Al Jazeera, the pilloried "terrorist" news channel hated by Arab governments and the United States alike, is apparently less biased than its Middle Eastern counterpart in the eyes of Israelis. read more »

In Memory Of The 6th Of October War (Yom Kippur War)
Fadfadation - Sun, 2007-10-07 11:42 By Fadfadation
It has been 34 years since the 6th Of October War (Yom Kippur War).
If anyone searches the Internet for info about the war or asks a foreigner what they know about that war, the result is one thing... The Israelis won!
As for us Arabs\Muslims, we believe we won (at least us Egyptians won on our side).
Why Foreigners think we lost the war?

Israelites And Prophets
Fadfadation - Sun, 2007-09-30 07:36 By Fadfadation
"
One might wonder why God sent to the Israelites specifically so many Prophets (some sources say 70 prophets over the history of mankind).
One might ask, why not just send them one prophet and they follow him and that's it?! they were the chosen ones, so why so many?
Think of it this way...
When you have a body that is ill, you call a doctor to cure it. When the body is full of all sorts of illnesses, you need a lot of doctors!

A TRIP TO EILAT (ELAT/ EYLAT) - الطريق الي إلات
EGYPT - THE REALITY!! ( By Isis) - Tue, 2007-09-18 02:06 By ISIS
I am organizing a trip with my friends in Eid... we wanna go to Sinai... to Nuweiba, Dahab, and Taba... We will have like 3 days off from school and we want to take an extra 3 days plus the weekend... We wanna go on a relaxing trip and we don't wanna go to Sharm because it turns into a ridiculously crowded and commercial place during the festive seasons... Everyone I wanna avoid is there - everything I wanna stay away from is there... but still... I love Sinai and I've been on several trips driving and camping through this lovely region of nature and of beauty... I'm very excited...
