Egyptian shows off ear of IDF officer he killed in 1973

From MEMRI:

Following are excerpts from a video featuring a pro-Mubarak Egyptian protestor, Ibrahim Muhammad Ibrahim, which was posted on the Internet on June 23, 2012 – March 1, 2013:

Ibrahim Muhammad Ibrahim: My name is Ibrahim Muhammad Ibrahim Abu Fida’i. I fought in the 1973 war. I fear for Egypt, the country for which I fought. I won’t allow anyone to take it away from me. Nobody will take Egypt from us. We fought for this country. This is the ear of an Israeli officer, who killed three of us. I didn’t cut off his ear. I chopped him into pieces. Whoever tries to take Egypt from me again – I will chop him to pieces. I will not stand idly by.

All of us who fought in the 1973 war fear for this country. Doesn’t the General Guide [of the Muslim Brotherhood] fear for Egypt? They want to sell Egypt out to the General Guide.

My son’s name is Fida’i [one who sacrifices himself]. His I.D. card reads: Fida’i Ibrahim Muhammad. He works for a pharmaceutical company near the Nasr Institute. Go ask for Fida’i.

Interviewer: Is this the ear of an Israeli soldier?

Ibrahim Muhammad Ibrahim: An officer, not just a soldier.

Interviewer: And you kept it since 1973?!

Ibrahim Muhammad Ibrahim: Yes, I have a bag with Hebrew writing on it.

Interviewer: How did you preserve it all these years?

Ibrahim Muhammad Ibrahim: This bag, with Hebrew on it, was filled with salt. The ear has absorbed all the salt.

Interviewer: So it didn’t decompose because you preserved it in salt.

Ibrahim Muhammad Ibrahim: Right. I cut if off when I killed him. He killed three of us. Was I supposed to let him go?!
