Morsi and the Palestinian State - Jerusalem

On a day when the last whispers of "Moon River" pass through or minds from the passing of Andy Williams we think of easier times. But to be clearly interrupted by the new President of Egypt. Portraying himself as the first democratically elected president of Egypt and calling upon God for the Egyptian people. It sounded so good at the beginning.

But immediately he started drawing a line in the sand. Yesterday when pressed he said Egypt is not an ally. Today he goes after our ally Israel. Stating that his goal is to restore all full rights of the Palestinian cause and it's capital Jerusalem. He made it clear his fight is for the Palestinian people.

He said they must bedenied rights of shamefull settlements, end of occupation of all lands and Jerusalem. They must set up a sovereign Palestinian state.

He also decried the need to end the misery in Syria. Morsi says his Syrian initiative is open to all to join in, surely referencing Iran.

One put it this way, Morsi is positioning himself as man for all seasons across the Middle East and Africa. I believe we have met someone worse than Ahmedinejad.

This was his vision of a new Egypt. A Palestinian State and removal of Israel. He clearly stated non -intervention between the states. But what is he thinking? Some think the take over of the Middle East. If he is not an ally we must call for no more monies to Egypt at once. President Bush said you are either with us or against us, you are either our friend or our enemy.
