The new Egypt: Israel can't find an embassy in Cairo

Such news you read about in the Arabic press, or even in the European press, but never in the American press.  Egypt is no more under the rule of Sadat-Mubarak dictatorship, so the state can't force Egyptians to rent an apartment or house for the Israeli occupation embassy.  In this report in the mouthpiece of Prince Salman, Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat, there is a report on how the Israeli occupation ambassador is operating out of a "big hotel" (it was not named because House of Saud would like to protect Israeli occupation ambassadors) because Egyptian people are uniformly refusing to rent space for the Egyptian occupation embassy.  In the new Egypt, the state can't force people to cater to Israeli needs anymore.  So Israel now is trying to buy a land and build an embassy outside of Cairo.  It said that the Israeli officials often find the appropriate place but that owners immediately refuse to rent or sell once they now the identity of the tenants.   Read and enjoy and then ask Thomas Friedman: tell us how the Egyptian uprising has no foreign policy goals.
