3 killed in a Egyptian luxury cruise ship accident

The article is about the recent killingof the people on a cruise towards the destination of the Sinai peninsula. The weather reports that day were reporting heaving rain and winds, also trouble navigating the ship might be involved. The government went on to say meterologists were forecasting a flood soon to come during that day they also warned travelers to stay off the highway if teh bad weather was to come. It was discovered despite bad weather, weather might not of been the only problem in the crashing of the ship.

My reaction to the article is its sad that the accident had to happen because the three peoples lives could of been saved very easily. I personally wanna say sorry to the family of the victims because dying of a accident that could of been stopped is very depressing. The ship should of been smarter with the navigations and the depth perception of how close they were to the pier so they could avoid the crash. The other 147 passengers i hope are very lucky to be alive and should be thankful it wasn't one of them being a victim.

Israel tells citizens to leave Sinai due to kindap threat

The article is about the recent outlet of militia attacks in Egpty's Sinai peninsula. The Israel government is telling tourists and other non-natives to leave the country due to the threats of kidnappings near Egypt's Sinai peninsula.

My reaction to the article is that the people of Israel and Egypt should listen to the government. If you wanna take the risk of being kidnapped and most likely never seeing your family again is very bad choice of you if you choose that path. The Israel government this time to me has actually done something right this time in by warning the tourists and non-natives for the risk of kidnappings in Egypt's Sinai peninsula area. The militia are pathetic people because they attack people that have no type of weapons to defend themselves thats why they are not men that are worthy of even representing those "warrior's". The militia are just a bunch of wannabe's trying find their worth in life.

April on Inside the Middle East

The article is about recent events and entertainment in the Middle East the first even is the gathering of harley Davidson owners across the Middle East and some from Europe. Diamond dealers, bankers, teachers exchanged valuables from business suits for leather jackets and bandanas. A new record might be set by the first Arabic women to cross the North Pole she is a twenty-seven year old named Elham Al-Qasimi. Elham has been training herself mentally and physically the last couple months to get prepared for the long journey. Also the richest horse race recently happened in Dubai, the name of it is The Dubai World Cup it happened at a newly built multi-billion dollar meydan race track. Camel trekking is one of the worst imagining places for no water available most of the time, but for some crossing the Sahara is a tradition.

My reaction to the article is very interesting while some of this stuff in the United States might be boring in Eastern hemishpere it may be there only entertainment. The multi-billion building of the race track sort of bothers me due to the struggles of starvation and poverty near Egypt and it's confusing to me that their so worried about a horse track. The women trying to set the record for crossing the North Pole and her being the only Arabic lady to do so is exciting for most of the Middle East due to the down look women get in the Middle East.

Egyptian custom find undeclared firearms in bag

The article is about the recent catching of a man trying to enter New York from a flight and the authorities found a little arsenal of firearms, ammunition, and knives. The man had have arrived from Cairo, Egypt not knowing that the U.S. had a law that u had to be cleared that u could go on a flight with firearms and other dangerous weapons, but it is permittable in the U.S. to carry firearms and other weapons if your permitted by the airline you are traveling on. Other countries than the U.S. have serious restrictions for firearms on air flights.

My reaction to the article is i feel sort of weird because the weapons are in reach of the passengers how does the airline know that maybe a man truthful to the taliban had worked with airplanes, or even studied the exact airplane he was going to be on that day so he could find where they hold the luggage. It's very pathetic that the airport that he lifted off from in Cairo, Egypt didn't get ahold of the weapons before he reached the borders of the U.S. it's almost like they could care less if something happened and that's what makes me so mad that they don't care if we die. I think that the Middle Eastern countries should tighten up their airports so risk like this couldn't happen it's bad how Cairo's airport officials handle this situation i think i could do better and I haven't even got my high school diploma yet.

Egypt cancels ceremony for restored synagogue

The article is about The recent fall of the Al Aqsa mosque and the rebuilding of it. The government pushed back the date of the ceremony because they want to show the audience their still fans of Israel while in the process of building the church. The synagogue is where most people believe the prophet Mohammed passed away to heaven. They also had an age limit and gender type allowed to go in to pray at the mosque. The article also shows the recent fall of Jews in the part of Israel their used to be up to 80,000 now their's only 100 Jews left in the Israel area, The Jews that want a museum dedicated to the Egyptian Jewish heritage.

My reaction to the article is that the government of Israel is trying to put the pieces togehter while keeping the community at ease. The movement of the Jews is very touching because I am a Jew myself and it's only reasonable for the Jews to have some say in the community they once overpowered with gracefullness, kindess, and very important people of our earth has ever seen. The building of the synagogue is helping the community also restore their emotions of such a profound piece of history.

Four Palestinians killed in border tunnel

The article is about the recent accidental killing of four Palenstinians. The tunnels that are on the borders of Egypt and Garza are very active from transporting of weapons to human aids and the Israel army targets them frequently to check upon terroist acts, or other such crimes. The recent construction of steel walls along the border are hopefully to stop the threat of these accidental killings, or more deadly terroist threats.

My reaction to this article is that it's to the fault of th government for not knowing who is at risk down at the tunnels. I believe they first should check upon their intelligence before doing such a big act of blowing things up. The victims of the bombings families should look into suing or even trying to prosecute the people that layed down the acts of bombing the tunnel.

Egyptian courts quashes Tamim murder convictions

The article is about the murder of a lebanese singer named Sussane Tamim's. She was found stabbed to death in her apartment in Dubai July 2008, the authorities suspect Hisham Talaat paid a hitman 2 million dollars to kill the star singer Sussane Tamim. Eventually the men were convicted of the most serious punishment the death penalty, but now the court is re-opening the case by might having evidence of authorities tampering, or fabricating the evidence. Even though the singer was killed in the United Arab Emirates they were caugtht in Egpyt.



My reaction to the article is that the women was a victim to a domestic violence crime. The people that are linked to the murder might know her very well or even had a intimate relationship with the singer. The way they killed her was dispicable due to stabbing a woman to death that is a very harsh crime and personally i think they should be convicted of the murder and after convicted they should be execueted. The killing of celebrities in foreign countries is very high compared to the number of killings of the U.S. celebritites in my opinion.

Man hurls a bomb at a Egyptian synagogue

The article is about a man recently throwing a bomb at a Egyptian synagogue on sunday morning. The man actually hurled the bomb all the way from the fourth floor of a hotel near the famous synagogue with gasoline canisters inside. Each bomb had materials of sulfuric acid, piece of cotton, a box of matches and a lighter also the smashing of the bottles ignited the fire, but fortunately no one was visiting the synagogue at the time. The man fled quickly, but now the authorities are ready to apprehend him.

My reaction to this article is I think it's a way of terroist to get headline news attention by doing pathetic things like this. The man is most likely has someone calling the orders behind them to do this.

Egyptian publisher of reform book arrested

The article is about the recent arrest of trying to have a dream of a corrupt free government that the people want to have, but in return he was arrested for such a book. When his family and friends came to pick him up from jail they said he was not to be released yet due to them not done with the questioning of him and maybe even to silcence his voice due to him being a supporter of ElBaradei.

My reaction of the article is that it's just another government corruption plot for no one to out-run their dirty ways of running a government. I am worried about how the authorities didn't let the author's lawyers in to the questioning that makes me think they were most likely either doing illegal actions, or torturing him. The people that stand up to corrupt governments like this really have heart for their reason of trying to demolish the government and should always be looked at as heroes.

Archaeologist discover a Roman-era mummy

The article is about the recent discovery of a three-foot female mummy that was discovered 190 miles southwest of Cairo. They are discovering clay, and glass vassels, coins, anthropoid masks and 14 Greco-Roman tombs. Mahmoud Affifi the Archaeologist that led the dig says the stairways and corridors are so unique and can be dated back to 300 B.C.. In 1996 a group of Egyptian archaeologist discover 17 tombs and 254 buried mummies at the site.

My reaction to the story was that it's amazing that their still discovering buried mummies dating back thousand years ago. It's incredible that their discovering up to 17 tombs and 254 buried mummies at one site alone. The thrill of discovering ancient artifacts is mesmorising, but when their discovering human bodies still in good condition is incredible and by the way it looks theirs a lot more to be mummies to be discovered.
