a synagogue in egypt and this is whats left of it. yet in israel you see more mosques than anywhere else.

do i sense a double standard here?

[fitac]

30 Jews are left in Egypt. The community was 80000 strong prior to 1947. There were over 50 synagogues in the country then. The question to be asked is whose responsibility is it to maintain these synagogues ?

[TallBrooklynGuy]

the real question is will jews be compensated for the 300 billion dollars in confiscated and deserted land they left behind when they were chased, murdered and killed in their homelands.

all you hear in the media today is israel occupying arab land. what about the arabs holding billions of dollars in land thats owned by jews? if they wont rebuild it or confiscated they should reimburse the jewish people for it.

[fitac]

We can factually debate about Egypt and Israel, or Egypt and Jews from Egypt; not as you would wish about "Arabs" and "Jews".

so u mean no jews might have converted to islam? Infact a study stated that one third of current muslim palestenians descended from jews who used to live there old ago..You can not say Inhabitants anymore..All is a blend..Just like egyptians, u may trace a muslim descending from a chrisitian descending from a jew since the roman torture era...

[missalexandriaegypt]

I hope it is just propaganda..I live in USA, and i watch CNN and others, many documentaries about Aqsa masjid made by US press--not arab press to say it is biased--but one of them showed live the construction work done and how this endangered the old mosque status...But i wish you are right and it is just propaganda..

[missalexandriaegypt]

you forget the fact that some christians converted to islam in egypt..same with Palestine..some jews converted to islam..This does not mean i am descending from Amr and the arabs..I may be descending from the pharaohs but all is a blend now--I am not trying to use this a political platform but i m not addressing jews as relegion..i m addressing zionist Israel

[NEBIDANIEL]

We are grateful that these are taken care of in Egypt and that they are protected too. Al Aqsa as all other Mosques are taken care of by the Waqf with the help and protection of the Israeli government too. I pray and ma confident that your question of responsibility will remain a rhetorical question.

[NEBIDANIEL]

Please think about the following Egypt has 15 EMPTY synagogues. 30 others were sold many converted into Mosques. Israel has inumerable mosques FULL of muslims in prayer. There is no way Israel is destroying Al Aqsa. This is pure propaganda. If this were the case it would have been done earlier and quicker.

[NEBIDANIEL]

Please donot use this as a political platform and if so please refer to History correctly. Egypt was not a muslim country for thousands of years. It is a Muslim country since the conquest of Amr in 640 of the common era. Before it was mostly christian. Jews also lived there for many centuries before. Palestine has had muslim inhabitants since the conquest of Omar only. Jews had lived there for over 16 centuries before.

and my question Fitac...who takes care of the Aqsa masjid in Jerusalem?? whose responsibility if it collapsed from the fake construction work necessities under it?
