Egyptians Want Reparations From Jews

Jesse Jackson ought to get a charge out of this one: Egyptians are preparing an enormous lawsuit against "all the Jews of the world" for "trillions" of tons of gold supposedly stolen during the Exodus.

According to Middle East Media Research Institute, Nabil Hilmi, dean of law at the University of Al-Zaqaziq, and some Egyptian expatriates in Switzerland are behind the stunt.

Hilmi is quoted as telling the Egyptian weekly Al-Ahram Al-Arabi: "Since the Jews make various demands of the Arabs and the world, and claim rights that they base on historical and religious sources, a group of Egyptians in Switzerland has opened the case of the so-called 'great exodus of the Jews from Pharaonic Egypt.' At that time, they stole from the Pharaonic Egyptians gold, jewelry, cooking utensils, silver ornaments, clothing, and more, leaving Egypt in the middle of the night with all this wealth, which today is priceless."

Wait: Doesn't Jesse say it's the descendants of slaves who are supposed to sue the descendants of enslavers? We sense a counterlawsuit coming ...
