Could Unrest in Egypt Be The Beginning of the End Of Israel's Dominance in The ME?

I have been admittedly ignorant about the situation in Egypt and our relations Egyptuntil recently. I had no idea that our gov't has been supporting a corrupt dictator for all of these years.
And as a sidenote, I think it's amazing that their gov't has a flip switch on the internet/ phone service. People are reporting that Twitter/ Facebook played a huge role in organizing the protests. I avoid FB and twitter like the plague because of all the BS and ignorance, but social media has an astonishing amount of influence and power now. It's actually a little boggling.

lol @ facebook organizing a damn revolution. And all this started cuz of a damn Zuckerberg blog. 10 years later people using his site to take out dictators LOL
Anyway, I imagine that CIA and other Intelligence Agencies know exactly what they're doing by using facebook and all this shit to organize and destabilize regions where the population is pissed about whatever.
The problem is we need to stop getting on "democracy's" dick. If we destabilize and take out the government and put in a democratic one....WHO DO U THINK THEY'RE GOING TO VOTE IN?
Them niggas dont like the US.

I was just having this conversation tonight. People are actually ignorant enough to believe that when we "bring democracy" to a 3rd world middle eastern country full of religious zealots, that they'll adopt our ideals of free speech, free religion, equal rights for minorities and women etc, just because it's democracy. People don't understand those things come from our Bill of Rights and were specifically written into the Constitution BECAUSE democracy has a tendency to violate those rights.
I been saying, when we "brought democracy to the region" after toppling Saddam's regime, if we want them to have a democracy, we have to accept that they're going to vote for things we hate. If our goal was to bring American values and ideals to the region, we should have installed a dictator who would force those values on the people. As oppressive as some of those regimes are, many middle eastern countries, when given a democratic government, would vote away their rights all over again.And that's just on the domestic front. When it comes to foreign policy, we were usually better off with the terrible evil dictators than the democratically elected leaders they'll end up putting into power.
It's just the arrogant assumption that so many people make: "We're going to liberate this region and give the people a democratic government, but obviously they have to elect leaders we approve of."

LOL US supported dictators are getting overthrown man, first tunesia, now egypt(hopefully) after all these years of torment. Yo darksies and shootemwon, WTF you guys babbling about democracy and destablising the egyptian government when your government is one of the reasons the tunesian and egyptian dicators could reign for all these years man? This aren't US backed/organised coupes, this is a very deep rooted feeling of ending oppression and injustice, this is happening all over the region, even the moroccan king is shitting himself right now. These are revolutions man
Oh and btw, Tunesia already had free speech/equal rights for women/minorities/freedom of religion etc, hell headscarves were banned in public councils/places etc. These revolutions are about the fucked up dictator rule( like in Egypt for example the IRon trade is in complete control of the friend of the son of the dicator and most recently/right now there is a housing crisis, houses use a lot of iron, so that fuck with his monopoly in egypots iron trade upped the prices beyond believe etc)
This is about getting a future man, many people over there are poor and cannot get out of that cycle man. These are real plights many people have gone on the streets even since that bro set himself on fire....
If you cats don't realize how big this is, look at a gottdamn map, the maghrib+egypt is bigger than the states. If the egyptian fuck gets overthrown, hopefully morocco is next, hopefully this will have a effect worldwide. these are incredibly interesting times man

Without Egypt, Israel will be left with no friends in Mideast
Without Egypt's Mubarak and with relations with Turkey in shambles, Israel will be forced to court new potential allies.
By Aluf Benn
The fading power of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's government leaves Israel in a state of strategic distress. Without Mubarak, Israel is left with almost no friends in the Middle East; last year, Israel saw its alliance with Turkey collapse.
From now on, it will be hard for Israel to trust an Egyptian government torn apart by internal strife. Israel's increasing isolation in the region, coupled with a weakening United States, will force the government to court new potential allies.
Israel's foreign policy has depended on regional alliances which have provided the country with strategic depth since the 1950s. The country's first partner was France, which at the time ruled over northern Africa and provided Israel with advanced weaponry and nuclear capabilities.
After Israel's war against Egypt in 1956, David Ben-Gurion attempted to establish alliances with non-Arab countries in the region, including Iran, Turkey and Ethiopia. The Shah of Iran became a significant ally of Israel, supplying the country with oil and money from weapons purchases. The countries' militaries and intelligence agencies worked on joint operations against Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser's rule, which was seen as the main threat against Israel and pro-Western Arab governments.
Israel's next alliances were forged with Jordan's King Hussein and Morocco's King Hassan. These ties were operated in secret, as well as ties with leaders in Lebanon's Christian community. The late 1970s saw the fall of the Shah of Iran, with an anti-Israel Islamic republic created in his stead.
Around the same time, Egypt and Israel broke their cycle of conflict by signing a peace agreement. Egypt positioned itself on the side of Saudi Arabia, as head of the pro-American camp.
Mubarak inherited the peace agreement after President Anwar Sadat's assassination. Mubarak was cold in his public relations with Israel, refusing to visit the country except for Yitzhak Rabin's funeral, which decelerated normalization between the countries.
Relations between the Israel Defense Forces and the Egyptian army were conducted on a low level, with no joint exercises. Egyptian public opinion was openly hostile towards Israel and anti-Semitic terminaology was common. Civil relations between the countries were carried out by a handful of government workers and businessmen.

Just to be clear, Sharia Law is NOT coming to America. This is just fear-mongering and anti-Muslim paranoia.

And since those Muslims in the video aren't legislators, they do not determine our laws, regardless of what they may or may not be demanding.

Word anytime you got cats doin that self-immolation shit you know there's legitimate hardships in that country, and I HOPE the other Maghreb states except for Libya get overthrown so they can finally form that Arab Maghreb Union which would become the dominant power in the Middle East and a major player on the world stage. Other then Gaddafi the currnet leaders of those countries are too stupid to realize how much better it would be for them to join forces and they stay beefin wit each other over bullshit, maybe wit new people in charge they'll put aside any differences in order to get more money and power.

I don't exactly know what you're talking about, but it's safe to say that you're not talking about Sharia Law.

America treating Muslims and Arabs around the world like trash is gonna come back to America sooner or later. I hope it doesn't happen, but let's face it, America has been bringing this bullshit upon itself. You can't support evil in the Middle East and not expect people to wish to do evil things back.
When Haitians freed themselves from Napoleon in the 1800s, French citizens in Haiti were butchered and slaughtered like cows, including some kids. Karma sometimes isn't a pretty thing, the English and Dutch have it pretty rough in Zimbabwe and South Africa too. Payback is a motherfucker, let's hope the USA stops supporting genocide in Israeli territories sooner than later.
