Israel has always been a big red limit for the normal Egyptians to ever think of paying a visit to. Why is Egypt always scaring Egyptians from Israel and the Israelis? Why isn't any step of a normal relationship on Israel's part given the chance to occur?<br /><br />Why does Egypt deal with Israel any worse than it would deal with India, or Canada, or Turkmenistan for instance? Why is Israel always seen as a threat, or at least shown to the public as a little red devil that no-one should ever approach or think of approaching?<br /><br />Why do you need to get a special governmental permission to visit Israel? No, seriously, why the hell?the egypt guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597242569611424817mschauki@gmail.com
