Egypt sides with Israel in conflict with Hamas

Khaled Fahmy, chair of the history department at the American University in Cairo, has observed a sea change in public discussion about Hamas recently. "There has been an alarming outpouring in the past two weeks, not only dumbing down and toning down criticism of Israel, but also � in fact � a very, very sharp increase in vitriolic, racist discourse against Palestinians and Hamas in particular," Fahmy said.

Last week, an Egyptian writer accused Hamas of militant violence in Egypt, and called on people in Gaza to rebel against the group. "We are not going to support you going forward or have sympathy for you unless you get rid of the Hamas gang, which puts you in conflict with the world, Israel and the Egyptians," Adel Nouman wrote in an opinion piece for daily newspaper El Watan. "This is the stance of the Egyptian people."
