"Prank Egypt TV show exposes depth of Israel hostility"

A prank Egyptian talk show that infuriates guests by duping them into believing they are on Israeli TV reveals the antipathy many hold for the Jewish state despite a wintry peace treaty between the neighbours. "Judgement after Deliberations," aired nightly by private Nahar satellite television during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, invites guests on the air under the pretence that they are participating in a German talk show.But once the show is under way, they are told that they are on Israeli television. The guests -- artists, politicians, writers -- are invariably outraged. One of them, an actor, slapped the anchor woman. Another grabbed an actor playing the show's producer and shakes him by the hair. The show, which has also run during previous Ramadans, provides a glimpse into the suspicion, and in some cases outright hatred, Egypt's cultural elite reserves for Israel. How people continue to be duped is a mystery, but the anger is palpable. More than 30 years after Egypt became the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel, many in the public, and particularly intellectuals, remain opposed to Israel, said one of the show's guests. Actors and journalists can face professional ostracism if they are seen to invite normalisation with Israel. The animosity comes from four wars Egypt fought with Israel between 1948 and 1973, and Israel's policies towards Palestinians, said political columnist Abdullah al-Sinawi, who appeared on the show last Ramadan.

^ I'm not sure if this show is trying to get Egyptians to openly talk about their relationship/feelings with Israel in a positive way or if they are trying to fuel the hatred. If they are trying to fuel the hatred then I don't think much will come out of it. Egypt has attacked Israel numerous times since 1948 and has never succeeded in winning. In fact, no Arab or Muslim country that has ever attacked Israel has EVER won! That shows how committed and strong the people of Israel are to preserving their country and their way of life. There is a no government in Egypt that is run by a group called the Muslim Brotherhood. I hope they will learn from Egypt's past and not try to attack or do anything stupid (like void the Israeli-Egyptian Peace deal from the 1970s) since it will just make Egypt weaker and Israel stronger. ^
