A democratic Egypt may save Palestinian and Lebanese lives: [mondoweiss.net] "When Israel and Egypt signed a peace treaty in 1979, one of the big dividends for Israel was the removal of a major military threat on their doorstep. Egypt had participated in wars against Israel in 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973. But since the Camp David peace treaty, Israel has been able to wage war on the Palestinians and other Arab states like Lebanon without having to worry about Egypt’s military stepping in.
That may change once again if a democratic Egypt emerges from the uprising shaking the Mubarak regime. Israel has been watching the unrest in Egypt closely and has begun to publicly air their support for the Mubarak dictatatorship."
