Camp David
● Aren't the Camp David Accords with Egypt a model for future
agreements with Israel's other Arab neighbors?
● Really, how can Egypt violate such a significant agreement? Aren't
the relations with Israel good now?
● Ok, so they are not friends, but is there war between them? The
threat of war?

● Even Egypt, first to make peace with Israel and the presumed model
for peacemaking, has built a vast U.S.-equipped army that conducts
military exercises obviously designed for fighting Israel. Its huge
"Badr '96" exercises, for example, Egypt's largest since the 1973
war, featured simulated crossings of the Suez Canal.
● "[Anwar Sadat was] a traitor [who had] what was coming to him. He
is now dead and buried. Having lived like a Jew, he died like one."
● Two radical Leftists, Moshe Dayan and Ezer Weizman, coupled with
the weak Carter, pounded Begin to give up all the Sinai to Egypt in
exchange for absolutely nothing. Oh, Yes...The paper words, like
Oslo, had all the correct words of peace:, cooperation, exchange of
agricultural ideas, cessation of anti-Semitic cartoons in the Egyptian
press. Guess what. The Camp David Accords were never kept -
except by Israel. Today the Egyptian Press is rife with ugly
statements against the Jewish State, lavish with anti-Semitic
cartoons so familiar during Hitler's regime. Nothing changed. That
some Israelis could be so pathetically stupid in the face of
unreciprocated Peace gestures is a shanda (shame) for all the Jewish
people.

A "Cold Peace"
The cold peace between Israel and Egypt is most apparent in the
Egyptian media where all too often Jews and Israelis are depicted in
a derogatory and incendiary manner. Anti-Semitic stereotypes are
prevalent in caricatures and articles, with Jews portrayed as stooped,
hook-nosed and money-hungry, fighting for world domination. Israeli
leaders are regularly depicted as Nazis, while other articles deny or
diminish the Holocaust. The articles and caricatures can be found in
opposition newspapers as well as in the government-backed press,
including the largest dailies, Al-Ahram, Al-Goumhuriyya and the
popular magazine October.
