Egypt's car dealers don't want to be "treated like Jews"

This year, Egyptians have been campaigning against jacked up car prices.

Car dealers are upset. The head of a car dealer association went on TV and defended the pricing, saying that the government added new fees to new car sales and the dealers' hands were tied.

Specifically, he said that  "The [anti-dealer] campaigners talk to dealers as if they were talking about Jews."

Even though Arabs are keen on saying that they aren't antisemitic, I don't think this was a compliment.

(h/t Ibn Boutros)
