Egyptian lawmaker condemns Jews in Parliament; speaker strikes the word "Jews" from the record

Egyptian MP Al-Saeed Amara said during a parliamentary session on Monday, “We are all supportive of the armed forces, and we stand united behind the political leadership and the armed forces, with one heart, to defend Egyptian sovereignty and Egyptian security, and we condemn the actions taken by the Jews aimed at exterminating the defenseless Palestinian people.”

In one sentence he said how much Egyptians care about Palestinians and how much they refuse to give them refuge.

Dr. Hanafi Jabali, Speaker of the House of Representatives, took issue with tAmara's wording. He noted that Egypt's Constitution stipulates the protection of citizens and that they are equal before the law, whether they are “Muslims, Christians or Jews.”

The Speaker of Parliament pointed out that there are Egyptian Jews in Egypt, saying: “Hence the word ‘Jews’ is deleted from the record."

As of a year ago, there were only three Jews left alive in Egypt compared to 80,000 who lived there in 1948. They are all women and the youngest is 72 years old. So, yes, I suppose the remaining Jews in Egypt are treated equally under the law. The other 80,000, I'm not so certain about.
