I was yesterday at the Israeli embassy protest, after I was done with my talk at Socialist Days 2011 conference. The army and police cracked down brutally on protesters, firing tear gas, birdshots, rubber and live ammunition. I will upload some videos and photos from the protest soon.

Cut Egyptian gas exports to Israel NOW!
Essam Sharaf’s cabinet is re-negotiating the prices of gas exports to Israel. That’s not good enough. We need to sever all relations with the apartheid regime in Israel.
Egypt: The revolution will not be exported
Essam Sharaf, our “revolutionary prime minister,” is flying out on Monday to meet the Arab Gulf monarchs, in a bid to attract foreign investments, and to “assure them the January revolution was a purely Egyptian affair and will not be exported to other countries.”
Sharaf, shame on you. Our revolution should extend its hands to the oppressed people of those countries. The success of our revolution is a function of its spreading in the region. We cannot build a democratic Egypt surrounded by an ocean of dictatorships (and that includes Israel).
