Egyptian op-ed reminds readers that Jews are the real enemy

Al Mesryoon has an op-ed called "Have we forgotten the Zionist Snake?"

With all the turmoil in the Middle East, and especially how Egypt went from perceiving Hamas from being an ally to being an enemy, Egyptians need to remember who the real enemy is, according to Hisham al-Najjar.

He helpfully informs us that "The Zionist industry plots and feeds coups and wars and strife; and students of history know that they are responsible for most of the degradations in the world of pain and the killing of millions and unrest throughout the ages, which reached its peak in past four centuries."

You see, the French Revolution was started by Jews (here he discards the awkward "Zionist" label.) Same with the Russian Revolution.

Similarly, today "the Zionist snake" is presenting itself as a peace-loving friend of the Arab world while it schemes to destroy everything, and is hatching plots to incite hatred and cause strife and unrest and coups.

Everyone needs a gentle reminder of the big picture, and Jew-hatred is about as uncontroversial a position as one can take in Egypt nowadays.
