Egypt bans palm frond exports for Jewish holiday

that doth succoth!

One of the largest economic sectors in Egypt is its tourism. Are people going to travel there after it turns into another Islamist hell hole?

Ever other "modern" revolution outside of the US' Revolutionary War has resulted in massive bloodletting (think reign of terror, October Revolution) where the most brutal of the thugs are the ones who seize power.

Egypt has the Muslim Brotherhood waiting in the wings.

Bill White. Ranting, lunatic, unemployed moronic buffon.

Genesis 12:31

The never-ending religious bigotry and hatred and revenge continue unabated in the Middle East, the cesspool of the world. The US government should stay out of it, and stop all "foreign aid" to both sides. There will never be peace there, and any efforts to try to facilitate negotiations are a waste of time and money.

Why don't you go ove rthere and make a difference Bill?

Have you loved your brothers and sisters today?

I suppose the borders could be closed permanently and Egypt could try and survive. You can't eat palm fronds but you can sell them to get money to buy food.

Therefore, let the Egyptians eat palm fronds. Just imagine the unemployment that will result from this, the lost profits, etc.

Oh and those Orthodox Christians living there in Egypt. Good luck. You're next.

The arabs actions of formenting ignorance and hatred only to take money from their own pockets will not stabilize their chaotic and dismembered states-until they can quit blaming Israel for their problems as a scapegoat they will NEVER solve their internal issues and become contructive or civilized.

Mr Bill White can you say antisemitic. Sure, I knew you could. You would have been a great propaganda minister for NAZI Germany.

Religion is a mental disorder regardless of brand. It is based on fables and legends 2000 years ago, from people who thought the earth was flat.

They think that its in their best interest to form alliances with israel haters. Egypt is so obsessed with Jews they give into irrrational impulses to find a way to get rid of them. Instead all they have to do is honor their treaty , open up free trade and enter the normal world. But instead they are going to resist, enslave the people, crack down on dissent and go right back to the cycle of slavery to an autocrat, and attack Israel along the way..

No fronds for you Israel.
How petty can this be. Thank God that Israel has its
own fronds, even though they are more expensive.
That is a good thing...spend the money at home.

I wil NEVER spend a nickel in Egypt.... and every Jew and half the christians I know are completely fug-ing off this filthy ars-smelly country full of crack addicts and uneducated jew haters. Egypt is on its last leg. Israel would wipe this filth off the map in pre-game action

I suppose it's easy to tell Egypt what they can do with their palm fronds . . .

God will send a plague upon the Egyptian people!!

This is like a scit from 1970s Sat Nite Live.... Egypt Mr Slugo & Isreal Mr Bill... So much for Democracy. I think Egypt should stop Exporting it Hate.

Your faith should not be based on an object! If there were no crosses would Christianity still survive? Tell EGYOPT to kiss it!!! Your faith is what counts, not an symbol of it!

Israel wants to play games, got to expect other nation to play games as well.

On the other hand, why would you be upset somebody else isn't selling you items you routinely use for a religious observance? Shouldn't you be producing those on your own to ensure a reliable supply?

Buy them in America instead!
