What a stupid thing to say. What makes it worse is that it came out of Cairo, not the lunatics in Tehran.
The Associated Press reports that a lot of heated talk occured when Egyptian MPs criticized Israeli excavations near the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
"'That cursed Israel is trying to destroy al-Aqsa mosque,' Mohammed el-Katatny of President Hosni Mubarak's National Democratic Party (NDP) told a heated parliament session held to discuss the Israeli digging.
"'Nothing will work with Israel except for a nuclear bomb that wipes it out of existence,' he said."
Israel and Egypt supposedly buried the hatchet by signing a peace treaty in 1979 but many Egyptians still see Israel as their main enemy because of the Palestinian question.
"'The war with Israel is still ongoing whether we like it or not,' NDP lawmaker Khalifa Radwan said.
"Mohamed Amer, another ruling party member, said: 'What this [Israeli] gang is doing makes me demand that we trample over all the agreements we signed.'"
Oh dear.
