Does Egypt get its own dickriding thread every week where someone confidently asserts that Egypt is the Most Moral Country that has never done anything wrong?

this.

Actually Egypt has beem America's most reliable asset in the region for 40 years. They take the money and comply with the conditions. Israel is the opposite of compliant and despite massive aid, they steal, spy and cajole the US into conflicts and use their relationship with the US as leverage. Our return on Investment with Israel is miniscule in the good years and well into the negatives in the bad years (most of them).

I could really care less about Palestinians except that the US is associated with everything Israel does and that association has played a role in undermining national security.

That being said, i do have several Palestinian/American friends and they are great people who cook some good arse food. I just dont have enough care in me for the whole planet.
