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.

A Mobinil ad at the Cairo Airport, quoting Obama on the Egyptian revolution:

Mobinil is owned by the Egyptian Rockefeller Nagib Sawiris, a long time ally of the regime, who reinvented himself as a revolutionary liberal, while Obama is the man who came to Cairo to praise Mubarak as a force of stability.
Such ads make me wanna puke.
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).
