Israels pundits are shocked that these other countries would stoop to listen to the herd instead of forcing them to keep running over the cliff.
Brutal dictators who win 90% of the counted vote, who have to have 1 policeman per every 14 citizens must have been exactly the ally Israel loved. There are more Egyptian professors residing in the USA, having positions in US Universities, then Egypt has, and all of them interviewed recently have insisted if the present regime or one of his choosing remains, for them to go home would be a death sentence. Of course this is also the kind of Ally that the USA gives the most Military Industrial Welfare too, all of those tanks and tear gas and such are from the USA..... with love.
