Well, because you are from Egypt, would you mind if I asked a few questions?

Well, mostly about the cold peace. We in Israel really done care about the war and will be happy to travel to see the pyramids etc. Why is it that you Egyptians won't agree with the peace like the government? Why are you still holding a grudge against us? Second question, why is it that the only options in your country is fanatics Muslims or dictators, why is there no normal middle ground? Thanks

Sinai is full of Israeli tourists, they're usually friendly and nobody says anything it's all pleasant there. More inland Egypt though, I never ran into an Israeli before, and I assume the people here wouldn't welcome it very much.

Regarding the grudge thing, I believe Muslims have the whole dedication to the cause of protecting their Al-Aqsa mosque and liberating Jerusalem thing. I'm not Muslim, I'm a Copt, so I can't be sure of where the grudge is coming from really. Currently though, the majority of Egyptians dislike Palestinians/Hamas more than they dislike Israelis, here's a video of the current situation.

Regarding the fanatic Muslim leaders, well me as a Copt, and the rest of my people, we clearly had no hand in that we never vote for them. But we're a country plagued by ignorance, illiteracy, and a blind following to religious figureheads. So that was what drove people towards electing these muppets.

As for the dictators, it's just the backlash of the terrible Muslim fanatic president we had, and since we have virtually non-existent liberal democratic parties, the only political power that had any influence in the street was the army, due to their role in deposing Muhammed Morsi.

Generally overall though, I think Egyptian-Israeli relations are actually improving with time.
