The Jerusalem Post's Zvi Mazel, like many in the conservative and pro-Israel camp, is nostalgic for Mubarak days in Egypt and, rightly concerned by the rise of Islamists in Egypt. Excerpt from Mazel's article below:
To sum up: far from leading to greater openness and democracy, the ouster of Mubarak has led to brutal oppression and an open rift with the United States - but that country is not ready to come to terms with the outbreak of anti- American feelings or with the fact that its strategic alliance is a thing of the past. As for the Muslim Brothers, though well aware of the importance of American aid, they see in democratic America a major stumbling block on the road to setting up an Islamic regime in Egypt and doing away with the peace treaty with Israel.
