business vs peaceness

What struck me the most in the past weeks during which we have witnessed a growing violence added to anger in the region, is that Egyptians who had constantly described Egypt as one peculiar entity compared to the "arabs", now and since the isreal attackes on Lebanon, start colluding with them. It is not "us and them" anymore, it is just "us". In a series of anti-Israeli protests in Cairo in the past few days, demonstrators raised portraits of the late Egyptian President Jamal Abdul Nasser with a caption reading "the symbol of Arab dignity". The protesters chanted slogans against incumbent Arab leaders whom they accused of weakness towards the Israeli attacks on Lebanon.Israel's sustained onslaught against Lebanon coincides with the 50th anniversary of Egypt's nationalisation of the Suez Canal. Back then, the decision proclaimed by Nasser on July 26, 1956, culminated in what came to be known as the Suez Crisis, which pitted Britain and France against Egypt.
Consequenlty, Nasser nationalised the strategic waterway to spend its revenues on building the High Dam in southern Egypt after the World Bank turned down an Egyptian request to fund the project. In the end, Nasser had emerged from the crisis as the unchallenged leader of Egypt and the architect of Arab nationalism. In recent protests, many Egyptians likened Hezbollah's Naserallah to Nasser... I leave it to your judgment.
