Morsi’s Anti-Semitic Rant Comes to Light. By Walter Russell Mead.
Morsi’s Anti-Semitic Rant Comes to Light. By Walter Russell Mead. Via Meadia, January 15, 2013.
Mead:
Morsi’s anti-Semitic views are not surprising in themselves; indeed they are completely mainstream and unobjectionable in the Egyptian context. Not many people in Egypt would disagree with the statements in question, and Morsi is more likely to be attacked for being too soft on Israel than for venting his spleen. But these statements, and the widespread support for them, should remind everyone just how slim the chances are for real peace between Israel and its neighbors.
There are a lot of illusions out there about how the exercise of power will moderate the Muslim Brotherhood and similar groups. To some degree, Morsi’s record in office shows a pragmatic willingness to maintain a treaty he deeply loathes with the “sons of apes and pigs.” But we would do better to think of this as caution rather than moderation. If a real opportunity presented itself to destroy the Jewish state, there can be little doubt that Morsi and the members of his movement would think it their duty to act.
For
Israel, the lesson is obvious. For the foreseeable future it must depend upon
strength rather than trust if it intends to survive.
