It’s already pretty well-known that the United States provides billions of dollars of military and economic aid to Egypt every year, and numerous polls have shown that the general Egyptian public doesn’t exactly have a solicitous opinion of the United States. Nonetheless, one has to wonder what the average Egyptian out in the streets over the past several days protesting an authoritarian and corrupt regime thinks when they look down at the tear gas canister that was just fired at them, and see this:
Is it really so hard to understand why people don’t like us when we’re providing the weapons that are being used against them?

Egypt’s government has been “paid off” by both Zionist occupied Washington DC and Zionist occupied Palestine ZioNazis. Why do you think Egypt long ago stopped demanding the Zionists to obey International human rights accords? Egyp’s government, like Washington DC is a puppet of the Zionists. Like Washington DC, the Egyptian government cannot “serve two (2) masters and expect to continue to function in a rational way. Washington DC has so far been able to keep its flock under control but it’s only a matter of time and riots will begin.
