good luck with that, you’ll need it

Headline in the Jerusalem Post today:

Muslim Brotherhood: ‘Prepare Egyptians for War with Israel’

I can’t think of a single instance where war with Israel has turned out well for Egypt. Can you? If the Jerusalem Post had been around in centuries past, these are some headlines you might have seen:

God fights for Israel against the Egyptians, Egypt destroyed (Exo 5-14)

Egyptians flee before Judean army half its size (2 Chr 14)

Israel routs combined Egyptian, Jordanian, Syrian forces in six days (sixdaywar.org)
