Reply #34: No mention whatsoever of antisemitism [View All]

None made, none implied, none remotely considered. And no reason for you to introduce that topic into the discussion when it was not brought up in any way, shape, or form.

To the point at hand, certainly you do not believe that there has been a similar degree of pressure exerted on the Mubarak regime from people in the West as there has been on Israel over the last say ten years or so. Do you?

People in the US seem to be only now just waking up to what Mubarak has been doing all along. Even those who are relatively active in the progressive community seemed not to have the boycotting or protesting of this regime particularly high on the agenda.

In light of the fact that US taxpayers have contributed billions of dollars to Egypt in aid over the years, it seems a bit strange that there have not been such strong voices of protest in recent decades.
