Morsi Becomes Egypt’s “New Pharoah” Day After Being Praised for Ceasefire
On November 21, Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood President Mohammed Morsi was praised for his role in brokering a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. He had positioned himself as the moderate peacemaker worthy of the $1 billion per year the U.S. had given his predecessor. The very next day, he cashed in his good will with an enormous power grab that made him, in the words of one prominent Egyptian, the “new Pharoah.”
It is apparent that the two events are connected. Morsi’s role in the negotiations was not motivated by a desire for everlasting peace between Israel and Hamas. After all, Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood and so they share the same goals, such as the elimination of Israel. Morsi and the Brotherhood did not condemn the firing of a single rocket before or during Operation Pillar of Defense. Once it began, Morsi threatened Israel and sided with Hamas.
The ceasefire was the product of the Muslim Brotherhood’s political strategy.
Walter Sieruk Says:
The leaders of the State of Israel should not in any so callled “peace talks” trust in anything that the leaders of Hamas might promise. For they are very disingenous and in any dialogue will only dissimulate. They will engage in the practice of the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya. Which is the deception of non-Muslims for what they believe to be the good of Islam.
Furthermore the leaders of the State of Israel would do well to heed the wisdom of the Bible in having any “peace negotiations” with the characters who make up Hamas. For it is written “Such men do violence to those at peace with them and break their promised word; their speech is smoother then butter but their thoughts are of war.” Psalm 55:19,20. [NEB]
