What do you expect in a country where everything is rising in price except for humans who are cheaper than dirt to the filthy swines in charge. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last. All those shot before by the bastards across the borders and these new victims as well are martyrs who have gone to a better place. I truly pity those alive left behind living the harsh and cruel reality of our present day.
You are the one who woke me up from my dream world and asked me to try living in your real world. I am so filled with bitterness and outrage beyond words right now. 7asby Allah wa ni3m ilwakeel. Kol leil lo a7'ir, and God almighty fo2 kol zalim.
Edit:
Shoof ilbaga7a! Now they are denying there were casualties! I7na nistahil na7'od 3ala dma3'na bilgazma iladeema. If our government doesn't care, why should we expect anyone else to care?!

I have tears in my eyes reading the comments posted by the readers. 7asby Allah wa ni3m ilwakeel. He had a six month old baby girl. Who is going to bring her tar abooha ily mat?! I cannot help but remember Dinshaway ... with a slight difference ... We are now being shot instead of pigeons ... the people back then got their revenge, now we are bowing our heads in a shameful silence. When is this going to change? They just act so tough with Palestinians trying to find food and medicine?!
Just read the rest of the comments ... others too are saying it's Dinshaway all over again ... where is the Egyptian Embassy in Cairo?!! ... I am so sick now, can't say anything more.
So now they are not denying the casualties, they were just "not sure" earlier, and are now "cooperating"!

I don't think we'll ever really know why exactly, but the possibility that it's a mistake from what little I know about politics seems to be logical. Egypt isn't a threat to the USA anyhow, so it doesn't seem to have much political motive behind it. Egypt's an ally and the government is merely an extension of U.S. policies in my limited knowledge about the subject.
Also, the article I read mentioned a warning was given out in arabic by a native speaker and I would not doubt that. Perhaps the people in the boat were deaf or not paying attention to the warnings...I could understand the dillemma the crew on ship was facing because one really can't tell what will happen and if protocol was followed warnings were probably given. There isn't much reason for americans to want to upset the egyptians since the egyptian government is full of puppets for u.s. policy anyway.

this was a very uncivilized and careless behaviour of them. Unfortunately it seems the life of an Arab is worth nothing. It's not the first time something like this happens. As long as we remain the way we are our wonderful government :( remains the way it is nothing will ever change we will always be bullied.
edit- I am sorry but I don't think it is right to go on shooting people on their land. If it was an Arab killing an American in the U.S. I wonder what your reaction would be. We do not hate Americans we are not happy with your government and we are not happy with the people who did the shooting. When an Arab gets killed the attitude is often so what it was self defense. If they feel so threatened by us on our land they may just as well stay in the U.S. Of course we are not happy. I believe that we should have the right to move freely on our land without anyone warning us in the first place am I right?

it was just an appetizer before the big meal when they reach their real target !
what annoys me more is that two big Egyptian names in our TOP security were on the phone with Gamal 3inayat on Al Safwa , Orbit at 7:30 today.
they defended the behaviour of the American ship .they said that the Americans had to protect themselves after what happened in the past when a small boat ran into one of theirs .
they are sure that this is normal behavior !!!
that if the ship were Egyptian and sailing in foreign land , it would have done the same !
no Egyptian authority has kindly spoken yet .
now i see on tv in Mona Al Shazli's program the widow of the shot fisherman , and one of his colleagues who got shot and is receiving treatment .
Egyptian Blood ?
Cheap ?
we will see .

They're Americans, bekafy 3ay, they can do what they want and nobody says a small word....lan shof what the Egyptian government will say about that atrocity.
The Americans said that it was a mistake...and they didn't want to kill anyone....we have heard a lot of that...mistake..mistake..mistake..., they kill and say it's a mistake....and all the stupid people believe them…
sho ya3ni we must forgive them, bas 3ashen they're Americans and it was a mistake, wallah 3al! Lazem el 7okomy el masriye doesn't accept their excuse eza bel asol they give one. wallah maskhara! they kill people, and they said it was a MISTAKE. Tayman el Americans can do what they want, they think that they are better humans as us.…wallah fasharo ne7na alf million marra a7san, ne7na bat 3ana karametna w rasna marfo7 la fok. mesh 7aram 3alyon atalo el ragel…Allah may seme7on, wala 7aram…leeh 3amy zer hek?!? Ne7na mesh bahshar, wala ne7na el „terrorists“, akhhhh menom bas…..Allah kbir!!!
Dam el nas kela, yelly Bush w „as7abo“ atalo2on, inshallah ma be rou7 hater….ALLAH KBIR!!!!
Inshallah el salam wal nasr adyen kariban!!!

I have not heard about this " today " I Will read about it and study my best to understand . When the USS COLE was bombed they got to close to the ship and the Americana's let them . " in friendship or ignorance . Now we have learned that not ever one wears a sign around their neck saying " Good Guy " --- " Bad Guy " This could have the other way around, not all Americana's are " good guys " but to my thoughts our government has more Bad Guy signs not our people . My niece was in Iran , and she had so many nice things to say about the people . everyone kind and good and sharing . but it only takes one bad thing to upset everything .,
Source(s): PS , I want to read more about it , my heart grieves for the family and 2 children , I am so sorry this happened . - 1 decade ago
Please resist the temptation to show anger when really there's much bigger threats developing in your part of the world. Start ramping up your peace organizations or B.S. like this can turn out to be regional(middle east ) sized warfare. Think peace.

Cmdr. Lydia Robertson, a spokesperson for the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, stressed that U.S. troops are trained to fire warning shots if ships get too close, but they use the minimum amount of fire possible.

salamun alaikum bro,
because they are the tyrants of this world, because they have no respect for humanity...
I'm surprised they went to Egypt though, i thought that being responsible for the killing of over a million Iraqis in five years would have been enough but it seems like they can't get enough of this.
Allah yunsurna 3alayhum we 3ala kul il-6'alemeen!!!
take care bro...

Business as usual. Just practicing on their way to the real battle field. They know that Egyptian blood has no price.
