Egyptian Journalist: We Should Attack Hamas Terrorists in Gaza until They Kiss Egyptian Shoes

In a January 9, 2014 interview on Faraeen TV, Egyptian journalist Muhammad Hassan Al-Alfi said: "We should discipline [Hamas] just as Israel did... We must strike them so they learn to respect the Egyptian shoe," adding: "Only then will they kiss that shoe and learn what Egypt is worth."


Following is an excerpt:


Muhammad Hassan Al-Alfi: I pray that Allah deems every word that I ever wrote in defense of the Palestinian cause to be a sin, for which He will reckon with on Judgment Day, because they are not worthy of what he have done for them. Our sons were killed and our economy was ruined in wars fought for their sake. We fought for their sake, and now, they are fighting against us, kidnapping our sons [in Sinai] and killing them.


The terrorist camps in Gaza must be attacked. The Al-Qassam Brigades, which train them and send them over here, must be attacked. We should discipline them just as Israel did. We should not just retaliate. When you are weak, you get hit. We must strike them so they learn to respect the Egyptian shoe.


TV Host: Exactly.


Muhammad Hassan Al-Alfi: Only then will they kiss that shoe and learn what Egypt is worth.
