Israeli Ambassador Flees After Egyptians Ransack Embassy in Cairo.Protesters broke into the Israeli Embassy in Cairo Friday and dumped documents out of the windows as hundreds more demonstrated outside, prompting the ambassador and his family to leave the country. The unrest was a further worsening of already deteriorating ties between Israel and post-Hosni Mubarak Egypt.
Egyptian police made no attempt to intervene during the day as crowds of hundreds tore down an embassy security wall with sledgehammers and their bare hands or after nightfall when about 30 protesters stormed into the Nile-side high-rise building where the embassy is located.
Just before midnight, the group of protesters reached a room on one of the embassy's lower floors at the top of the building and began dumping Hebrew-language documents from the windows, said an Egyptian security official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Will the Middle-East ever stop being a bunch of violent corrupt assholes?
Israel has never had a break. They're our
only real ally in the Middle-East and Obama keeps finding compromises instead of standing up for Israel's right of existence and supporting Israel whenever it uses lethal force in their defense.
Who the hell ransacks and embassy? Could the guards not shoot the intruders?
And above your tomb, the stars will belong to us.
