And Israel would bomb them back to the dark ages by themselves.
The West would cut off aid and I wouldn't be surprised if the US, France, and England destroyed all of Egypt's tanks and air force.

I'm not a Zionist like you are, but I'm just stating history. It was called the War of Attrition for a reason. Israel is more advanced militarily now and Egypt wouldn't be getting into that war.
But the US, France and England are not going to take shots at Egypt for Israel.

Those European Jews belong in Poland, Russia or New York and you know it. Zionism is a delusional ideology. Ask any Palestinian where their grandparents are from and they'll tell you Palestine. Ask an Israeli where their grandparents are from and they'll list off European countries. Israel has no legitimacy as a country, it was stolen not even 60 years ago. Just like apartheid fell in South Africa, apartheid will fall in Palestine
I know you're probably not even zionist and you troll for kicks but I have to set the record straight.

Israel is overplaying its hand. They are a violent aggressor nation that treats criminal organizations like armies and does damage to the population to catch them. Who has killed more people, Hamas or The Mafia? If Israel was serious about Hamas they would indict them criminally and have their leaders apprehended, instead of punishing the entire Palestinian people. This is a planned event, the rockets hurt nobody and are actually not from Hamas, but from any disgruntled Palestinian. This is a forced Casus Belli by the Israelis in order to excellence land grabs and weaken legitimacy.
Actually if anyone knows this but Hamas was created by Israel to counter-act the PLO who was too power to take down at one time. Hamas isn't for the Palestinians as people claiming them to be cause they have allowed alot of the settlement to continue without fighting for it.
Israel on the other hand wants to rid all Palestinian existence from the land and they will make their final assaults to kill everyone of them if need be to prove them want it. U.S. will continue to back them.

Israel killed its subcontractor in Gaza - Israel News | Haaretz Daily Newspaper
Israel killed its subcontractor in Gaza
The political outcome of the operation will become clear on January 22, but the strategic ramifications are more complex: Israel will have to find a new subcontractor to replace Ahmed Jabari as its border guard in the south.
Ahmed Jabari was a subcontractor, in charge of maintaining Israel's security in Gaza. This title will no doubt sound absurd to anyone who in the past several hours has heard Jabari described as "an arch-terrorist," "the terror chief of staff" or "our Bin Laden."
But that was the reality for the past five and a half years. Israel demanded of Hamas that it observe the truce in the south and enforce it on the multiplicity of armed organizations in the Gaza Strip. The man responsible for carrying out this policy was Ahmed Jabari.
In return for enforcing the quiet, which was never perfect, Israel funded the Hamas regime through the flow of shekels in armored trucks to banks in Gaza, and continued to supply infrastructure and medical services to the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip. Jabari was also Israel's partner in the negotiations for the release of Gilad Shalit; it was he who ensured the captive soldier's welfare and safety, and it was he who saw to Shalit's return home last fall.
Now Israel is saying that its subcontractor did not do his part and did not maintain the promised quiet on the southern border. The repeated complaint against him was that Hamas did not succeed in controlling the other organizations, even though it is not interested in escalation. After Jabari was warned openly (Amos Harel and Avi Issacharoff reported here at the beginning of this week that the assassination of top Hamas people would be renewed), he was executed on Wednesday in a public assassination action, for which Israel hastened to take responsibility. The message was simple and clear: You failed - you're dead. Or, as Defense Minister Ehud Barak likes to say, "In the Middle East there is no second chance for the weak."
The assassination of Jabari will go down in history as another showy military action initiated by an outgoing government on the eve of an election.
This is what researcher Prof. Yagil Levy has called "fanning the conflict as an intra-state control strategy:" The external conflict helps a government strengthen its standing domestically because the public unites behind the army, and social and economic problems are edged off the national agenda.
This recipe is familiar from 1955, when David Ben-Gurion returned from his exile in Sde Boker and led the Israel Defense Forces to a retaliatory action in Gaza, and his party, Mapai, to victory in the election. (Barak recalled this period with nostalgia, when he spoke last week at a memorial for Moshe Dayan). Ever since, whenever the ruling party feels threatened at the ballot box, it puts its finger on the trigger. The examples are common knowledge: the launch of the Shavit 2 missile in the summer of 1961, in the midst of the Lavon affair; the bombing of the Iraqi reactor in 1981; Operation Grapes of Wrath in Lebanon in 1996, and Operation Cast Lead in Gaza on the eve of the 2009 election. In the two latter cases, the military action turned into a defeat in the election.
There is a disagreement among historians as to whether it is necessary to add the Yom Kippur War to the list. In that conflict, which broke out on the eve of the 1973 election, the Arabs fired first, but their decision to go to war was taken in the context of the increasingly extreme position of Prime Minister Golda Meir's government which had refused Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's peace offer and declared an expansion of Israeli settlements in Sinai.
This, for example, is the opinion of researchers Prof. Motti Golani and Shoshana Ishoni-Barri.
The current operation, Pillar of Cloud, belongs in the same category. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is interested in neutralizing every possible rival, and Defense Minister Ehud Barak is fighting for enough votes to return to the Knesset. A war against Hamas will wipe out the electoral aspirations of the ditherer, Ehud Olmert, whose disciples expected him to announce his candidacy this evening and it will kick off the agenda the "social and economic issue" that serves the Labor Party headed by MK Shelly Yacimovich.
When the cannons roar, we see only Netanyahu and Barak on the screen, and all the other politicians have to applaud them.
The political outcome of the operation will become clear on January 22. The strategic ramifications are more complex: Israel will have to find a new sub-contractor to replace Ahmed Jabari as its border guard in the south, and it will also have to ensure that its action in Gaza does not cause the collapse of its peace treaty with Egypt under the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Hamas movement's patron.
These are not easy challenges and the results of the operation will be judged by the extent to which they are met.
