So what happened in Egypt? After the last Israeli war, and after the treaty with Israel, the army became redundant militarily and turned to business. Mubarak, as army officer and later president, also got into business. No bank or multinational corporation could do business in Egypt without an Egyptian partner or stakeholder, so that the army and people like Mubarak basically cleaned up. Allegedly Mubarak cleaned up to such an extent that he is now the wealthiest man in the world, and this at a time when the average Egyptian is one of the poorest in the world. However, he became the most obvious symbol of a repressive regime, and the people agitated to get rid of him. The regime acquiesced in his removal because if they did not the regime itself would be threatened, business would be threatened. Or did they conspire at his removal in order to get their snouts deeper in the trough? Who knows? And now that he is gone? Business as usual.

1979 Sadat-Israel ‘War Treaty’ against Palestinians and Muslims not binding on Egyptians
Posted: February 15, 2011 by crescentandcross in Uncategorized
“Israel never respected the so-called 1979 ‘Peace Treaty’ with former Egyptian President Anwar Sadat as it is still occupying Palestinian lands and stealing more. A murdering thief who steals people’s homes should neither be allowed to keep any nor be allowed to use stolen property as a bargaining chip. In a civilised world, stolen property must be returned to their owners under pain of sanction. For over 30 years the so-called 1979 ‘Peace Treaty’ was used as a weapon to make war against Palestinians in occupied Palestine and Muslims in Egypt. Sadat’s effective War Treaty with Israel has been the cornerstone of instability, repression and Jewish terror in occupied Palestine and interference in the internal affairs of Arab countries. ”
