  As far as I know from many sources that the number of deaths in the 
earthquake was in the range of 350-500. Would you please tell us where did u
get this number from?

  No shame about this, that's the first time in the modern Egyptian history
(some would even say in the known Egyptian history) that Egypt was struck by
such an earthquake.

  WOULD YOU PLEASE GIVE US YOUR SOURCE. This is the first time I hear of this.

  What is the basis of this statement. I would believe it if you said San 
Fransisco fire fighters. But Israel!!. I don't think that in the last 50 years
(the age of Israel) that we heard of big earthquakes hitting Israel. The only
analogy I can find in this situation is bombing civilian buildings in Lebanon.
But in this case the Israelis played the earthquake instead of searching for
survivors.

>Those units saved many Russians in a similar case 2 years ago.

Well, I didn't know about that. I have to assume that this is true. It's a good
thing to do and I believe the Russians were very grateful.

>Israel offer Egypt the help of those units.
  
  So did many countries like France, Germany, and Japan. In fact France sent
there units immediately without offering.

  You know how much did it cost us to get the Israelis out of Egypt. Almost
every family in Egypt lost a loved one because of the war between Egypt and
Israel. Do you expect that the Egyptians will welcome those people? 

>Egyptians continue to die.

  Poor guy, I can see tears in your eyes. Do you really give a damn about
Egyptians dying.

  Egypt is suffering now. Lots of people were hurt. This is a natural disaster
that shows how week is the man against the Nature. This is not the time to try
to obtain a political or ethnic gain. Saying that Egypt couldn't make 
without the help of Israel and they prefer to die than being helped by the 
jews is pure nonsense. You don't know anything about Egyptians and how we care
about our blood. We are trying to live in peace because we really suffered
enough. It looks to me that you never had enough blood.
