Our new puppets in Egypt are already looking to be much worse than our old puppets.
Recently Jews in synagogues around the world heard an ancient prophesy about a time of tribulation for the Christians. In the haftarah, the Prophet Obadiah hears G-d warning the Edomites (traditionally a Jewish term for the people who eventually made up the Christian world): Behold on that day Your mighty ones to the South will be broken every man will be cut off by the slaughter
How eerily reflective of the moment: Within just the last couple of weeks, the Washington-based Christian Solidarity International (CSI) issued a Genocide Warning for Christians and other religious minorities across the Middle East, and launched a petition urging President Barack Obama to speak up.
The Arab Spring seems to be rapidly springing shut on Middle East Christians, most clearly in Egypt where Islamists scored a landslide victory in the first of a three-stage parliamentary election there. The Muslim Brotherhood whose goals include world conquest in the name of Allah, and whose motto is Jihad is our way; dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope gained 40 percent of the vote, and the Salafists who are said to be even more radical garnered 25 percent. And thats just in the big cities. As Jerusalem Post columnist Caroline Glick surmises, the results will only get worse as results trickle in from the more religious hinterland.
Meanwhile, Egypts yuppies the grand hope of dreamy Westerners Twittered and Facebooked themselves a pathetic 15 percent of the vote. They will likely fade away, be absorbed or be wiped out.
