Egypt is an American client state. Annually, American tax payers gift Egypt approximately $1.44 billion dollars. That is roughly 20% of all U.S. foreign military assistance each year. Since 1946, Egypt has received over $87 billion in U.S. foreign aid. A billion here, a billion there, and sooner or later you are talking real money. We all know why Egypt gets so much from the U.S. The Egyptian government has been bribed into peace with Israel. Even when Trump temporarily suspended foreign aid – Egypt was exempted along with Israel.

Fine. We spend money expropriated from American pay checks to bribe corrupt Egyptian leaders into cooperating with Zionism. But is that all we can expect for our money? For all that cash, can’t we expect the Egyptian government to at least protect historic Christian holy sites, maintain free access to those sites, and guarantee the safety of Christians there? You would expect that to be a minimum set of standards in exchange for getting over a billion dollars a year from country with a super-majority of Christian citizens.

Unfortunately, that is not the case. The update below is linked to a petition demanding international protection for the Saint Catherine’s Monastery in Sinai.
