Makes you appreciate this leader

Anwar El Sadat (Arabic: ???? ???? ???????? Anwar as-Sadat, Egyptian Arabic pronunciation: [mæ'hæmmæd '??nw??? essæ'dæ?t]; 25 December 1918 – 6 October 1981) was the third President of Egypt, serving from 15 October 1970 until his assassination by fundamentalist army officers on 6 October 1981. In his eleven years as president, he changed Egypt's direction, departing from some of the economic and political principles of Nasserism by re-instituting the multi-party system and launching the Infitah economic policy.
Sadat was a senior member of the Free Officers group that overthrew Farouk I in the Egyptian Revolution of 1952 and a close confidant of President Gamal Abdul Nasser, whom he succeeded as President in 1970. As president, he led Egypt in the October War of 1973 to re-acquire Egyptian territory lost to Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War, making him a hero in Egypt and, for a time, the wider Arab World. Afterwards, he engaged in negotiations with Israel, culminating in the Egypt–Israel Peace Treaty. This won him the Nobel Peace Prize but also made him unpopular among some Arabs, resulting in a temporary suspension of Egypt's membership in the Arab League[1][2][3][4] and eventually his assassination.

So we have Morsi who has been vocally heavy on the Zionists, we hope that there was an element of "getting elected" in that .. the fact he has not negated the Egypt-Israeli peace treaty, his brokering of the recent cease-fire, and his working with Obama in opposition to another Israeli invasion are some evidence of that .. c'mon Morsi, be the man! .. lol .. Naftali Bennett and the Israeli political scene moving 'right-conservative religious' is another matter .. an admirer of Glenn Beck says something about the guy, too .. so much reading in all that .. yeeeeeeep! ..

i guess the MEMRI translation of the Morsi speech is ok, as i couldn't find any complaints about it .. the question only arose when i was reminded that MEMRI does have some history of shonky translating work .. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East_Media_Research_Institute ..

Have been on wanderaround again all over and around .. again .. lol .. mostly past .. review .. a couple ..

One link from yours which i enjoyed and illustrated some of the vibrancy of the new Egypt was this one ..

"Outlining Mr. Morsi’s dilemma, the Egyptian satirist Bassem Youssef .. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/31/world/middleeast/bassem-youssef-a-champion-for-egypts-liberals.html .. used the president’s anti-Semitic remarks to set up a contrast with his more recent collaborations with Washington and Israel, including the brokering of a cease-fire with Palestinian militants in Gaza. Mr. Youssef, whose television program broadcast the video clip about hatred Friday night, juxtaposed Mr. Morsi’s 2010 statements denouncing “Zionists” and their Western supporters, including Mr. Obama, with the Egyptian president’s more recent declaration that he hoped Egypt and the United States could be “real friends.”"

lol .. go get'em Bassem .. your link ..
