The New Egypt: We Will Never Recognize Israel

January 4, 2012 By 38 Comments

The Islamists, led by the Muslim Brotherhood, are poised to take control of the newly elected Egyptian parliament. As they consolidate their power internally, the Muslim Brotherhood-led Islamists will likely turn Egypt into a hotbed of jihadism against anything non-Muslim, taking direct aim at the Jewish state of Israel.

Last winter, as the Egyptian people were rising up against President Hosni Mubarak, Muhammad Ghannem, a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, told the Arabic-language Iranian news network Al-Alam:

The people should be prepared for war against Israel. The Egyptian people are prepared for anything to get rid of this regime.

Muslim Brotherhood deputy leader Dr Rashad Bayoumi started off 2012 with a belligerent interview published in the Arabic daily al-Hayat, in which he insisted that his organization will not recognize Israel “under any circumstance.” Bayoumi added that “we do not recognize Israel at all. [Israel is] an occupying criminal enemy.”

Bayoumi’s declaration came less than a week after the Muslim Brotherhood, which gave birth to Hamas, hosted Hamas’s Gaza leader Ismail Haniyeh with a warm welcome at the Muslim Brotherhood’s Cairo area headquarters. This was Haniyeh’s first trip outside of Gaza since Hamas took over Gaza by force in 2007. He milked every ounce of anti-Israel propaganda that he could from the visit. As quoted by Egypt’s state news agency MENA, Haniyeh declared:

Our presence with the Brotherhood threatens the Israeli entity.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s Supreme Guide Mohammed Badei, who greeted Haniyeh, engaged in a mutual admiration session with Haniyeh during their meeting. Badei went so far as to extol the Muslim Brotherhood offspring Hamas for now serving as its parent’s role model.

During a joint press conference, as reported in the Jerusalem Post, the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas leaders had this chummy exchange:

Badei: “You are welcome to our country; you are welcome to our headquarters. The general center of Muslim Brotherhood is paying attention all the time to the Palestinian issue as it pays attention to the issues of liberation all over the world.”

Haniyeh: “The Islamic resistance movement of Hamas, by definition is, a jihadist movement by the Muslim Brotherhood, Palestinian on the surface, Islamic at its core and its goal is liberation.”

The Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoot Hamas are joined at the hip. Indeed, Hamas’s charter begins with a homage to Hamas’s roots in the “Muslim Brotherhood Movement,” which the charter describes as a “world organization, the largest Islamic Movement in the modern era.”

Haniyeh, Hamas’s leader in Gaza, and Badei, the Muslim Brotherhood’s leader in Egypt, reflect the Hamas-Muslim Brotherhood partnership’s shared goal to destroy the Jewish state.

Just two weeks prior to the confab between Badei and Haniyeh in Cairo, Haniyeh was in Gaza marking the 24th anniversary of the founding of Hamas. The Hamas leader was quoted by Palestinian Media Watch as saying that Hamas’s “strategic” goal remains the complete elimination of the Jewish state of Israel:

We say today, explicitly, so it cannot be explained otherwise, that the armed resistance and the armed struggle are the path and the strategic choice for liberating the Palestinian land, from the [Mediterranean] sea to the [Jordan] river, and for the expulsion of the invaders and usurpers [Israel]… We won’t relinquish one inch of the land of Palestine. The Hamas movement will lead Intifada after Intifada until we liberate Palestine – all of Palestine, Allah willing. Allah Akbar and praise Allah… These principles are absolute and cannot be disputed: Palestine – all of Palestine – is from the sea to the river. We won’t relinquish one inch of the land of Palestine. The involvement of Hamas at any stage with the interim objective of liberation of [only] Gaza, the West Bank, or Jerusalem, does not replace its strategic view concerning Palestine and the land of Palestine.

There are some people who think that the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas are solely Israel’s problem, not ours. Others, including senior members of the Obama administration, believe that the Muslim Brotherhood is now a reformed “moderate” organization that the United States government should recognize and do business with. They are sadly mistaken.

    If Israel wants peace they need to prepare for war. If the dogs can smell weakness, they will go for the throat. If Israel shows strength, they will be at their feet.

      I agree, Alvaro

    The "old Egypt " didn;t recognize Israel . Sadat was murdered for making peace with Israel .The people of Egypt have HATED Israel since Nasser was defeated in his wars against Israel . Nothing has changed since then . The U.S. has been keeping this in check by propping up Mubaraks military regime to the tune of atleast 1-2 billion dollars a year + sales of fighter jets , over the years . Muslims in Egypt have been randomly murdering tourists [and blaming Israel's Mossad ] , and murdering Israli tourists long before "arab spring " Or how about that terrorist that was released by Egypt, when the US had him boxed in on an airliner , only to be allowed to live happily ever after in Syria {another alleged freind we lost ]
    .Perhaps everyone forgot Beer-Sheba , Luxor , and the numerous tourist bus attacks , and the numrous incidents over the years of Egyptian soldiers at the border, occaissionally going "bersek " shooting IDF or Israeli citizens .Egyptian fiorces were massed on the Sinai border foir " routine exercises " before arab spring ,
    Now , the "cat is simply out of the bag " . Who are [were ] we kidding ? Ourselves ?

    • Joseph Klein

      The difference is that 30+ years of relative peace between israel and Egypt and a closed border between Egypt and Hamas-controlled Gaza is being replaced by the total opposite.

      • Amused

        That's because Mubarak was not going to last forever .The harsh reality is unless arab/muslims are kept under the heel of a dictators boot , they will seek top destroy Israel . BTW , what is your idea od "relative peace " ?

        Suppose you knew the Canadian Government was allowing bomb-throwers to operate against you from within their borders ? Or Canada's soldiers were shooting American Soldiers and citizens……whenever they got pissed off . -AND DID NOTHING . Or ,maybe they blow up[ a resort full of Americans at Niagra Falls and lets add machine gunning and blowing up a few anerican Tourist buses traversing in Canada ....that your idea of "relative peace " ???
        The reason there has been relative peace [as you put it ] is because Israel has restrained itself from equal payback .,and as for the Border , it was secure because ISRAEL SECURED IT , not that the Egyptians did or didn't . Btter get acquainted with REALITY Klein , if there is one thing that unites all arabs and muslims , it is their unmitigated and overt hatred for Jews and Israel , and ity makes no difference whether we call them our freinds or our enemies .

        • aspacia

          True–The only remedy is for Israel to destroy all who threaten her. First, drive Hamas into Egypt. Retake the Sinai, and take the oil since Egypt has violated the peace which was nothing more than a Hundi. Next, formally annex The West Bank. If the Muslims don't like it, they can move.

  • montlasky

    There is no such thing as a "benign Muslim" and this fact had better be appreciated by all infidels before it is too late. Democracy is their platform for a holistic attack on the non Islamic world which is already well advanced. Let 2012 be the year democratic people's of this world wake up!

  • Boyee

    I don't think it matters if they recognize them or not, they are recognized by the UN, that's all they need. They are also far more powerful than Egypt.

    • joy52

      It is time to start thinking beyond crumbling inbreds. Who cairs who they think has a right to exist? Manage them and move on. Let them have their 8th century countries and they can snuffle and snort all they want. Think of the savings.

    The Islamists, led by the Muslim Brotherhood,

    I hate to rain on this gullible writer's parade, but the existence of Islamists, just like the existence of moderate Muslims, radical Muslims, extremist Muslims, etc., are all false PC multicultural myths, as there are only MAINSTREAM ORTHODOX MUSLIMS. Indeed, those are the same kind of false PC multicultural myths that led to the two biggest strategic blunders ever in American history in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Muslim Brotherhood deputy leader Dr Rashad Bayoumi started off 2012 with a belligerent interview published in the Arabic daily al-Hayat, in which he insisted that his organization will not recognize Israel “under any circumstance.” Bayoumi added that “we do not recognize Israel at all. [Israel is] an occupying criminal enemy.”

    Why is this somehow unusual? Had he said anything less he would have been charged with blasphemy and executed, whether he is a Muslim Brotherhood member or not.

    Badei: “You are welcome to our country; you are welcome to our headquarters. The general center of Muslim Brotherhood is paying attention all the time to the Palestinian issue as it pays attention to the issues of liberation all over the world.

    Here is the most relevant part: “as it pays attention to the issues of liberation all over the world.” As the permanent jihad of conquest being waged perpetually against the Jewish unbelievers in Israel is one of many jihads of conquest also being waged simultaneously against numerous and various sundry non-Muslim unbelievers around the world.

    Haniyeh: “The Islamic resistance movement of Hamas, by definition is, a jihadist movement by the Muslim Brotherhood, Palestinian on the surface, Islamic at its core and its goal is liberation.”

    Liberation obviously means Islamic conquest and resistance means both violent and non-violent stealth and deceptive jihad. Islam's goal and the goal of all MAINSTREAM ORTHODOX MUSLIMS on the planet, including the millions of Muslims living in America as a fifth column of stealth jihadists today, is to make Islam supreme.

    The Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoot Hamas are joined at the hip.

    Of course, the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas are joined at the hip, but so are all other MAINSTREAM ORTHODOX MUSLIMS as well.

    Haniyeh, Hamas’s leader in Gaza, and Badei, the Muslim Brotherhood’s leader in Egypt, reflect the Hamas-Muslim Brotherhood partnership’s shared goal to destroy the Jewish state.

    Actually, that is also the shared goal of every MAINSTREAM ORTHODOX MUSLIM ON EARTH!

    Hamas’s “strategic” goal remains the complete elimination of the Jewish state of Israel:

    If it was anything else it would constitute blasphemy and apostasy which are capital offenses under Islam.

    senior members of the Obama administration, believe that the Muslim Brotherhood is now a reformed “moderate” organization that the United States government should recognize and do business with.

    Senior members of the Obama administration, including senior members of the Republican Party and Dhimmicrat Party as well also believe that Islam is a so-called Religion of Peace™ being hijacked by a tiny minority of extremists.

    Israel and the United States face a common global enemy – Islamist jihadism which both the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas embody.

    Again, I hate to have to rain on this gullible writer's parade, but the existence of Islamists, just like moderate Muslims, radical Muslims, and extremist Muslims is a false PC multicultural myth, as again there are only MAINTREAM ORTHODOX MUSLIMS. Apparently the writer also like senior members of the Obama administration and senior members of the Republican Party and Dhimmicrat Party believes that Islam is a so-called Religion of Peace™ being hijacked by a tiny minority of extremists.

    “Democracy,” in the eyes of both organizations,

    In stark contrast to the writer's assertion, “democracy,” in the eyes of all MAINSTREAM ORTHODOX MUSLIMS, because it is the rule of “man” as opposed to the rule of “Allah,” is blasphemy and therefore must be obliterated.

    In sum, the Obama administration’s engagement with the Muslim Brotherhood is not only potentially lethal to Israel. It is potentially lethal to the national security of the United States itself.

    As is also doing foolish nation-building missions propping up Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq is also potentially lethal since those MAINSTREAM ORTHODOX MUSLIMS in Afghanistan and Iraq like ALL MAINSTREAM ORTHODOX MUSLIMS around the world, including the millions of MANISTREAM ORTHODOX MUSLIMS that have migrated to the US for the purpose of stealth demographic conquest to make Islam supreme, are also all our eternal enemies and the eternal enemies of all non-Muslim unbelievers in the world.

    Marching full force straight into the 7th century. Soon, we'll see the regression to full desert garb, child brides, women as chattel, and slavery among other wonderful practices from the past. All we need do is examine Mad Mo's life to see what they hold as an example of what a man should be to know where this is headed…and it ain't good.

    " THEY ARE SADLY MISTAKEN" IS RIGHT ON. THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD WAS THE NEST FROM WHICH CAME BOTH HAMAS AND AL QAEDA IT IS DEVOUTED TO DESTROYING WESTERN CIVILIZATION 'FROM WITHIN ITS ROTTEN CORE' AND TO THE COMPLETE OBLIERATION OF ISRAEL. EITHER OBAMA IS GREATLY NAIVE ABOUT THESE GUYS OR ELSE HE IS SOMETING FAR WORSE

    • Jorge

      Yours is the best consideration (to the target) I have seen so far: arab spring is a total misnomer; it is part of an islamic attack to the western world. Obama nows.

    The days are growing short for the Tyranny of Islam….They bring on their own destruction!

  • Tanstaafl

    When Mohammed staged his immigrate/invasion of Medina, he thought that the Jewish tribes of Medina would flock to his new religion. They didn't, they questioned him on his "revelations" and his command of scripture.

    Like many sociopaths, Mohammed attacked anyone who doubted him. As a result, all Muslims are trained from birth to hate Jews and kufirs. There is no moderation in the ummah that allows Muslims to honestly treat Judaism with any measure of respect.

    The Qur'an instructs the faithful not "to make friends with the unbelievers".

    • Amused

      Ahhh YOU GET IT !

    • gotcha!!

      IN QURAN: WE ARE INSTRUCTED TO MAKE WAR AGAINST KUFFAR IF THEY MAKE HOSTILITY WITH US FIRST, BTW ITS ALWAYS KUFFAR WHO MAKE WAR WITH THE MUSLIM FIRST….

      btw god instruct you to worship one god and not associate anything besides god…YOU KUFFAR ARE SO LOST….

  • WSK

    The bottom line is : there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim. They are all extremists and will not stop until they are eradicated.

    • Renau.G

      You’re the dumbest person on web to make a foolish statment like that.

      • Amused

        No , he's absolutely right .Their ultimate goal [The Goal of the Prophet ] is to make you an offer -convert [revert ] or die …. and in their infinite mercy , muslims will allow you to live as a Dhimmi and pay jizra until you make your decision .

  • RoguePatriot6

    Egypt's leader steps down and Islamists take over and you start to hear the usual rhetoric and blatantly hateful agendas. Libya's leader is executed in the streets with our help and we see the beginning signs of the same BS that's happening in Egypt. Of course you won't hear the same protests of "America, is getting too involved in the affairs of other nations…etc" from those who loved to slam Reagan or Bush and paint the U.S. as the big bully. You won't hear of the same "Warmonger" accusations when the Obama Administration does this. You'll only hear it when Bush, Reagan or any conservative does it.

    We see this happen in every situation where Islam is the governing force of any country. Does it take a college degree or a rocket scientist to figure out that Islam is incompatatible with western civilization? Yet liberals (another name for treasonist), progressives and socialists welcome this ideology and those who follow with open arms while yelling "separation of church and state" when it comes to Christianity.

    The left's double standards make me want to puke!!!

  • Freedom John

    That's OK Egypt. We don't recognize you either, well except we do recognize how our gov't wasted all of our taxpayers hard earned money so you could become even more afraid, bigoted, prejudiced, ignorant, backwards and just plain useless to the world. The only thing you've accomplished since the Jews left in the Exodus is keeping the same name. Not really much of an accomplishment as say your neighbor Israel that you're really very jealous of because in 60 years they've accomplished more than you ever have or will. If I were you I'd try to emulate them and make something of yourself.

  • Nakba1948

    Can you really blame the Egyptian people for harboring antipathy towards Israel? The only reason Mubarak, a petty dictator, remained in power for thirty years was because the US kept propping him up and funding his regime. The only reason the US did this was so that some six millions Jewish squatters in occupied Palestine ("Israel") could sleep more comfortably at night. The Egyptians have finally thrown off the yolk of Zionist-imperialist oppression, and if the Muslim Brotherhood offers them true democracy, I could care less how it affects Israel. The Zionists' chickens are coming home to roost, and it's about time. Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea!

    • UCSPanther

      From River to Sea, Palestine will never be…

    • ziontruth

      "The only reason Mubarak, a petty dictator, remained in power for thirty years was because the US kept propping him up and funding his regime."

      It is a poor testimony to the Muslims that they need to be bribed to abstain from going to war.

      "…some six millions Jewish squatters in occupied Palestine…"

      The squatters are you Islamic imperialists, and Palestine is occupied by your troops—Islamic colonists stealing the one and only land of the one and only true Palestinian nation, the Jewish nation.

      "The Egyptians have finally thrown off the yolk of Zionist-imperialist oppression,…"

      And they're about to end up with egg on the face. Heh.

      "…and if the Muslim Brotherhood offers them true democracy,…"

      No, the Muslim Brotherhood offers them the Islamic imperialist vision of enriching themselves by stealing the properties of non-Muslims—Copts first, Jews afterward.

      "Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea!"

      Amen. Palestine will be free from all Islamic settler-colonist land-thieves, and will be under exclusive Jewish sovereignty from the river to the sea!

    • aspacia

      And Israel will, as usual defeat Egypt, and hopefully will declare Marshall Law with US help, and teach you folks how to behave in an honorable fashion.

      How many times must Israel kick you a$$es$? Oh, yes, you love death and perhaps should give you a big helping and annex Egypt. After all, your brethren just destroyed a sweet, little museum of Egyptian history. If for nothing else, Israel respects your history, even if you don't.

  • smoothlee

    The conjoinment appears imminent: The muslim brotherhood and the obama administration on the elimination of israel, followed then by submission to islam of America under imam barak hussein. Start growing those beards, men. Maybe you women will have a choice of colors for your burqas.

      That is why 2012 is so very important. If Obama gets another years, I am afraid that America could very well end up in another American revolution.

    Has Egypt ever learned from the past not to repeat the mistake of going to war against Israel? I do not think so.

  • Arius

    Stupid West. How could anyone not see how this would end up? Far worse is to come. The enabling of the Muslim Brotherhood in multiple countries in the Middle East is the biggest strategic mistake by the West since the 1500's. The West continues its death march.
