· 1. Egypt still has not made any restitution to its Jews for confiscated assets, as the free world has done with other Jewish communities;
· 2. Egypt still has not apologized for its past evil treatment of its Jews, as the free world has done with other Jewish communities;
· 3. Egypt still has not officially recognized the great contribution Jews have made to their country of birth, as the free world has done with other Jewish communities; and, incredibly,
· 4. Egypt is currently trying to pilfer what little is left of the Jewish heritage in Egypt. (HSJE letter to Pres. George W. Bush March 18, 2001)
