Cairo, Egypt – Israeli-Palestinian negotiations are “a waste of time and opportunities” as Arabs and Muslims get nothing out of engagement with “the descendants of apes and pigs,” current Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi asserted in September 2010, according to newly translated interviews published this week by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

In the first interview, aired on Lebanon’s Al-Quds TV on September 23, 2010, Morsi denounced the Palestinian Authority as a creation of “the Zionist and American enemies for the sole purpose of opposing the will of the Palestinian people.” Therefore, he stressed, “No reasonable person can expect any progress on this track.”
“Either [you accept] the Zionists and everything they want, or else it is war,” Morsi said, “This is what these occupiers of the land of Palestine know – these blood-suckers, who attack the Palestinians, these warmongers, the descendants of apes and pigs.”
In the result, according to MEMRI, Morsi called on Arabs and Muslims worldwide to “employ all forms of resistance against…those criminal Zionists, who attack Palestine and the Palestinians.”
“Pressure should be exerted upon them,” Morsi continued, so that Jews should “not be given any opportunity [to] stand on any Arab or Islamic land.”
In a separate interview translated by MEMRI, aired on the same network on March 20, 2010, Morsi affirmed that “The Zionists have no right to the land of Palestine…. What they took before 1947-8 constitutes plundering, and what they are doing now is a continuation of this plundering. By no means do we recognize their Green Line. The land of Palestine belongs to the Palestinians, not to the Zionists.”
He therefore called on the Islamic world “to confront this Zionist entity” and to severe “all ties of all kinds…with this plundering criminal entity,” including a total boycott of Israel and the avoidance of “normalization of relations with it.”
Morsi concluded that the Arab-Islamic world “want[s] a country for the Palestinians on the entire land of Palestine…[and] all the talk about a two-state solution and about peace is nothing but an illusion.”
The Jews, he said, “have been fanning the flames of civil strife wherever they were throughout history. They are hostile by nature…. The Zionists understood nothing but the language of force.”

Has he looked in the mirror lately??
Interesting since he looks just like one:).
Maybe he did teshuva, didn’t hashem accept the teshuva – way before he even did it – of his forefather?
Why is this news? It’s the Media I don’t understand! Can’t they find NEWS to report?
And Hillary Clinton would say we have to balance our “interests” with right and wrong.
Doesn’t that fool know that we built his cities and that humans can not be descendents of anything other than other humans. His statements show the intellectual ability needed to preside over Egypt.
For apes and pigs, we have accomplished an awful lot throughout history.
Please, US government, continue to send millions of dollars to Egypt. Because we here in the USA don’t need all that extra money and it’ll help our grateful and friendly Muslim brothers.
This is the dicotomy, which is so fascinating. The Arab press in many Arab countries, along with statements such as those referred to above, is constantly defaming Jews, not only in print and speeches, but also in plays, radio, and on television. Yet, if an alleged defamation of Muhammed somehow finds it way onto the Internet, it is tantamount to waving a red flag in front of a bull! It doesn’t take much, to set the Arab masses off into rioting, bombings, lootings, etc. Can someone explain this phenomenon?
and yet elements in the west will refer to him as moderate,compared to al qaida etc.
He just issued decrees clamping down on the media and satirists. This tells you exactly what sort of Pharaoh he’s going to be
I cannot believemy ears. This is a negotiator for peace?
Where is hilarry clinton? such remarks are good for Iran!
Is usa seliing the high tech weapons???
This just goes to show that once people come to office and see that they need to be pragmatic to get things done they usually lose their gung ho rhetoric.
If only some of our politicians would learn.
