A recent court ruling ensures Egypt's spot as one of the leaders of racism discrimination. In the thick of the Israel-Gaza floatilla debate, leave it to Egypt to share some time grandstanding at their hatred toward Jews (and yes, I mean Jews)

E-mail this to a friend Printable version The decision comes amid anti-Israeli protests after Israeli raids on aid ships A court in Cairo has upheld a ruling urging the government to consider stripping Egyptian men who are married to Israeli women of their citizenship.
The ruling requires officials to send all such cases to the cabinet, to be decided on an individual basis. It calls on the cabinet to determine whether to remove the nationality of the men concerned, as well as that of their children. The court said the government should consider whether the Israeli woman was an Arab or a Jew. It is estimated that about 30,000 Egyptians are married to Israeli women.
The lawyer who brought the case, Nabih el-Wahsh, said it was aimed at protecting Egyptian youth and Egypt's national security. He says that offspring of marriages between Egyptian men and Israeli women should not be allowed to perform military service. There should not be a new generation "disloyal to Egypt and the Arab world", he said. The appeal was sent by the government after a verdict last year stated the 1976 article of citizenship law should be implemented. That law requires the stripping of citizenship of those who married Israelis who have served in the army or embraced Zionism.
Well, whataya know? Looks like Egypt can justify anti-semitism in their country but still scream at Israel for rulings a lot less severe than this. So apparently proposed citizenship tests in Israel bad and generate world outrage but actual law imposed in Egypt, well, not so much since they're doing the acceptable thing and discriminating against Jews....
