Hamas celebrated Muslim Brotherhood’s election win today saying Mohammed Morsi will help them with their cause. Hamas said Morsi will help them “return home.”
Reuters reported:
The Gaza Strip’s governing Hamas on Sunday welcomed the victory of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt’s presidential vote, saying its ideological ally’s success would help the Palestinian cause.
The impoverished enclave burst into celebration upon hearing that the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsy had won elections held after former president Hosni Mubarak fell to a people’s revolt last year.
Locked in a long power-struggle with its secular Palestinian rivals, Hamas had a mixed relationship with the previous, U.S.-aligned Egyptian president, who supported Israel’s blockade on Gaza.
“We will look to Egypt to play a big, leading role, a historic role, regarding the Palestinian cause, in helping the Palestinian nation get freedom, return home, and totally end the Gaza siege,” Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Hamas government, told Reuters Television.

The Egyptian Army -largely funded by the US- will remain the real power, and they aren’t so keen on picking a fight with Israel imho
The Brotherhood will rant as the military keeps a lid on them in most real ways and waits their term out

How many of their guns,did they buy from Holder ? (not sarcasm)

Because, you know, that worked so well back in the 60′s and 70′s when Egypt has tried to “take care” of the Israeli problem.

So How’s That ‘Arab Spring’ Spread of Freedom and Democracy Thing Working Out?
I sure am glad that earlier this year President Obama pledged $800 million in US aid to help out the “Arab Spring” countries — Egypt in particular. What direction is that headed?
The Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohammed Morsi has officially won Egypt’s presidential election and will be the country’s next president, the electoral commission has announced.
Morsi picked up 13.2 million votes out of just over 26 million, giving him about 51 per cent of the vote. His competitor, Ahmed Shafiq, the final prime minister under Hosni Mubarak, received 12.3 million. More than 800,000 ballots were invalidated.
Farouq Sultan, the head of the election commission, delivered a long speech before announcing the results in which he defended the body’s “independence and integrity” amidst what he called meddling by unnamed political factions.
The two candidates filed 456 complaints about the electoral process, Sultan said, most of them allegations of either forgery or Christian voters being blocked from polling stations in Upper Egypt. The vast majority of those complaints were dismissed. {……} read more @ link

#3… They took the $200,000,000 comrade Obama gave them and bought the weapons from comrade Putin. Obama pays for the muslim brotherhood to win the election… they in turn buy weapons from the Russians with the money from Obama and comrade Putin is 200 ml richer. What a sweet deal.

NEWSMAKER-Egypt’s Morsy goes from prisoner to president
Man jailed by Mubarak to replace him in presidency
* Though army remains powerful, victory is historic
* Morsy portrayed himself as man of God and revolution
* Questions over extent of his power
By Tom Perry
CAIRO, June 24 (Reuters) – In a reversal of fortunes unthinkable a year and a half ago, an Islamist jailed by Hosni Mubarak has succeeded him as president of the biggest Arab nation in a victory at the ballot box which has historic consequences for Egypt and the Middle East.
The Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsy will not enjoy the extent of modern, pharaonic powers exercised by Mubarak: those have been curtailed by a military establishment which will decide just how much he will be able to do in government.
Still, the U.S.-trained engineer’s victory in the country’s first free presidential election breaks a tradition of domination by men from the armed forces, which have provided every Egyptian leader since the overthrow of the monarchy 60 years ago, and installs in office a group that drew on 84 years of grassroots activism to catapult Morsy into the presidency.

The world’s collective amnesia
["The fact that there are these refugees is the direct consequence of the
act of the Arab states in opposing partition and the Jewish state. The Arab
states agree upon this policy unanimously and they must share in the
solution of the problem."
– Emile Ghoury, secretary of the Palestinian Arab Higher Committee,
in an interview with the Beirut Telegraph Sept. 6, 1948.
"The Arab state which had encouraged the Palestine Arabs to leave their homes temporarily in order to be out of the way of the Arab invasion armies, have failed to keep their promise to help these refugees."
– The Jordanian daily newspaper Falastin, Feb. 19, 1949.
"Who brought the Palestinians to Lebanon as refugees, suffering now from
the malign attitude of newspapers and communal leaders, who have neither
honor nor conscience? Who brought them over in dire straits and penniless,
after they lost their honor? The Arab states, and Lebanon amongst them,
did it."
– The Beirut Muslim weekly Kul-Shay, Aug. 19, 1951.
"For the flight and fall of the other villages it is our leaders who are responsible because of their dissemination of rumors exaggerating Jewish crimes and describing them as atrocities in order to inflame the Arabs … By spreading rumors of Jewish atrocities, killings of women and children etc., they instilled fear and terror in the hearts of the Arabs in Palestine, until they fled leaving their homes and properties to the enemy."
– The Jordanian daily newspaper Al Urdun, April 9, 1953.
"The 15th May, 1948, arrived … On that day the mufti of Jerusalem
appealed to the Arabs of Palestine to leave the country, because the
Arab armies were about to enter and fight in their stead."
– The Cairo daily Akhbar el Yom, Oct. 12, 1963.]
