It will only take days if you get out of West Bank and Gaza to pre 1967 border. Its just that simple.

Its a connected world. These jews taught terrorism to the Arabs by blowing king david hotel. Now it is spreading all over the world. The guy who blew it up with so many occupant inside became the father of that nation. How irony.

King David hotel served as British military headquarters then and not as hotel.

Guess they are just doing it for "religious" reasons of "Muslim brotherhood". To most, it seems their religion is more important than even their country. The only thing that often surprises me is that you don't see them making a case for "oppressed" Muslims in Russia,China, India,Philippines,Myanmar, Central Africa republic, Nigeria, etc etc the way they do with Arab-Israeli dispute. Maybe their concern about Palestine is more due to the influence the Arabs have on them or something.

In solidarity over the attack on the Christians which killed 29 people.

Despite the good intentions. I believe this move is not helpful to be honest. Egyptians will feel embarrassed that a country like Israel is lighting up their country with their flag in solidarity with those victims. It might make other muslims to see Egyptians as traitors to the islamic cause. You should know that any positive gesture that comes from Israel towards a Muslim state is a Taboo and will instead backfire on that Muslim country. So I believe Israel shouldn't have done this publicly, it only weakens Egyptian leaders hand in dealing with this issue while giving even more voice to the islamic terrorists/extremists who will use this as a propaganda to recruit more naïve Muslim youths and justify such actsions even more against both the "kafir puppet" Egyptian government and Coptic Christians alike.

i don't wanna say this out loud, but a certain ideology makes you mental slaves of a particular ethnicity, you lose your culture your identity you become just that something. you are made to hate your own kin just because they believe in something else even kill them. before its too late you realise it was nothing but a ploy a deceit to further a particular group's interests and you were just a pawn

Huh....but I don't see anything offensive in what you said. So no reason not to voice your opinion.

Next time a palestinian should target the a$$ of Netanyaho.
Residents of different nationalities died in that blast. They were not british soldiers. Besides brits brough you people here. Without them most of yu would be biting siberia till today.

The gesture would be taken seriously if Israel takes steps towards ending its occupation of Palestinian territories to ensure establishment of independent Palestinian state. With it's current policies there, this is disingenuous at best. What they want is to try their best getting Arab states to have open and full relations with Israel on basis of countering terrorism, which it seeks to include the Palestinians under as well, so the world can ignore the occupation taking place and allow an annexation of Palestinian territory to occur. No wonder it's not helpful, you just fail to identify the legitimate reasons.

It might make other muslims to see Egyptians as traitors to the islamic cause.

What the is this 'Islamic cause' you're bringing up? What does this have to do with Islam? You mean Palestinian cause? The cause is not religious and anyone from any background can endorse it.

You should know that any positive gesture that comes from Israel towards a Muslim state is a Taboo and will instead backfire on that Muslim country. So I believe Israel shouldn't have done this publicly, it only weakens Egyptian leaders hand in dealing with this issue while giving even more voice to the islamic terrorists/extremists who will use this as a propaganda to recruit more naïve Muslim youths and justify such actsions even more against both the "kafir puppet" Egyptian government and Coptic Christians alike.

You have a really flawed understanding of Arab society. To you, Arabs can't think for themselves and are victims to propaganda. I hope this is just a misperception you have, and not something you want to propagate. Because Arabs don't need no extremists telling us what is right or wrong. Most Arabs simply don't see Israel's activities as lawful in the occupied territories. Because they aren't. This gesture doesn't bother anyone and will be seen as a friendly gesture, if Israel were serious to advance this 'peace' and relations it seeks with the region.

You wouldn't do it if the dead people were Muslim Egyptians.

On the one hand you can say we're in solidarity with a Muslim-majority country like Egypt. On the other hand you know exactly that Western Christians will perceive your gesture as exclusively pro Christian rather than pro Egypt/Muslim.

This is an amazing, very rational and cool piece of propaganda calculation. Bravo! I'm impressed, honestly.

Israel has consistently condemned the terrorism in Egypt even when it has targeted soldiers.

On the other hand, places like Jordan have cheered terrorism in Israel and in fact recently condemned Israel for shooting dead a Jordanian attacker who stabbed an Israeli.

The gesture would be taken seriously if Israel takes steps towards ending its occupation of Palestinian territories to ensure establishment of independent Palestinian state.

The gesture is towards Egyptians and what they have suffered. It may surprise you, but palestinians are not the centre of the world and this gesture has nothing to do with palestinians.

Interestingly, Israel has condemned terrorism in Egypt in much stronger terms than palestinian leadership has.

I understand what you're saying, but the policy you speak of has been going on for decades. Everyone pretending they don't deal with Israel, Israel pretending they don't help Egypt in the Sinai with drones. Palestinians pretending they boycott Israel when in fact they cooperate on every level. Israel and Saudi pretending they haven't met & talked.

This policy hasn't achieved anything other than normalising non-normalisation.

It looks worse in my opinion to light the building up in the French and recently the British flag - then ignore the Egyptian one. It rightly leads to Arabs asking if they are not as equal as Europeans when it comes to terrorism.

Uh huh, that's why instead of creating the thread and leaving it as it is, you immediately attacked the Egyptians for their 'indoctrination' in regards to supporting the Palestinian cause.

Not interested in your childish remarks.

You do the right thing.

Egypt also extended a helping hand to Usrael when there were fires everywhere last year.. by sending firefighting airplanes..

I'm aware of that. However, you will be correct if Israel was a normal country ina neighbourhood like say Europe,Latin America , East Asia etc. However it's not the case here. You have to consider the situation in which you are in and act accordingly.
You know the hostility that exists in these countries public towards Israel , doesn't matter what kind of gesture you make(whether in good faith or not) this will be seen negatively. Plus you know that these islamic terrorists/extremists groups are very good in using such acts for propaganda purposes especially to recruit more members to join their fight. So such acts should be avoided by Israel (well, at least not publicly) for the sake of both sides. Egypt's secular leaders are already under pressure from these islamic radicals who call them all sorts of name: Zionist puppets, traitors, Jew conspirator etc, so such acts by Israel will only bolster their claims even more.

Huh....maybe that was because Hamas is very close to MB(of which they are an offshoot) Islamic extremist group(now listed as a terrorist group by Egypt, Bahrain, KSA, Russia, Syria, UAE etc) which was accused of being behind many terror attacks in Egypt post Morsi .
