Cairo's Information-Free Zone
(Jerusalem Post)Evelyn Gordon - Information about Israel's contribution to Egypt's economy appears to be a closely guarded secret in that country. No amount of economic growth will produce improved Egyptian attitudes toward Israel unless the ordinary Egyptian knows about Israel's role in it. Most Egyptians, for instance, were completely unaware that Israelis account for a major share of the Sinai tourist trade before October's terrorist attacks. In addition, the average Egyptian is completely unaware of the almost $2 billion a year Egypt receives from America.
