Topic: Egypt wants to sue Israel | |
---|---|
• A columnist for the Egyptian newspaper Al-Yawm Al-Sabi proposed in March that Egypt sue Israel in international court for reparations for the 10 Biblical plagues cast from Hebrew curses, including boils, lice, locusts and turning the Nile River into blood. Ahmad al-Gamal asserted that Israelites swiped gold, silver and other precious items as they began their legendary desert wandering.
Al-Gamal also wants reparations from Turkey (for the 16th-century Ottoman invasion), France (for Napoleon's invasion in 1798), and Britain (for 72 years of occupation). [Jerusalem Online, 3-30-2014 I think they should go ahead with the suit. First out of the box Egypt would have to admit that Israel has a multi-thousand year old prior claim to their homeland. OOOOPS ,can't have that. Then they would have to admit that the account in Exodus is true, another oops. Then they would have to add God to the suit as a primary because it was Him who did those things. Moses was only the mouthpiece. Then there is the problem of a statute of limitations. I notice that they left out murder. All these "offenses" were committed while the Israelites were slaves in Egypt. Yeah let's take this to the Hague and try the suit in order of time of offense. |
