Egypt and Israel: The enemy of my enemy is my friend

In an editorial published in the Egyptian daily El Gomhoria, Ali Ibrahim wrote that "Nasrallah is worse than Israel since he is trying to hurt the livelihood of the same Egyptians who supported him during the Second Lebanon War." But many Egyptians are not buying it. "Hassan Nasrallah is a hero. He is the only Arab leader who stood up against Israel. Hosni Mubarak is a corrupt U.S. puppet," I was told by a Cairo-based journalist on condition of anonymity.
During a recent demonstration in Cairo, several people carried Nasrallah's pictures. His pictures can also be seen in coffee shops, stores and on car windows in Egypt. His name is chanted during anti-Israeli protests.
