It smacks of the worst form of racism - state sponsored racism, and we know where that has led us.
sify.com: Egypt to strip citizenship of men marrying Israeli women
An Egyptian court has ruled that men who marry Israeli women will be stripped of their citizenship, a media report said.
The State Council's Supreme Administrative Court on Saturday upheld a ruling issued by a first instance administrative court on dropping the Egyptian nationality from men who are married to Israeli women, Xinhua reported citing a statement from Egypt's official MENA news agency.
There cannot be any appeal against the ruling, the court said.

If Israel did this the whole world would howl but u can bet not a peep will arise over this awful law. It's OK to do this shit against Jews and Israelis in the Arab world and nobody even raises an eye brow. The Arabs can practice actual ethnic cleansing on other groups and nobody seems to notice or care, but if we do it or Israel does it then the whole world cries foul. Is their a double standard out here? Of course.
Its a retaliatory move, and its very wrong and misguided. And it needs to be propagated in the media. I'm disappointed to see this. I always wanted to go to Egypt, not now.
Helen Thomas is being picked on and lambasted for saying openly what most Arabs and Muslims actually believe is the only real solution to the conflict. She hates Israel and I'm happy it's out in the open. I was disappointed when she said she was sorry. Why? because it's lie.
I was surprised to see that she said that. She probably is ashamed, I don't know the context of her statement - it is possible somebody goaded her. Not that's its an excuse but I know I've said inappropriate things in a state of personal weakness and I do regret it.
This killing of people on the flotilla which was horrendous, has also sparked these severe outbursts and activities that are not helpful. Its almost like social PTSD.
