Newly translated interviews by MEMRI show Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi in 2010 opposing two-state solution.

Israeli-Palestinian negotiations are "a waste of time and opportunities" as Arabs and Muslims get nothing out of engagement with "the descendants of apes and pigs," current Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi asserted in September 2010, according to newly translated interviews published this week by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

In the first interview, aired on Lebanon's Al-Quds TV on September 23, 2010, Morsi denounced the Palestinian Authority as a creation of "the Zionist and American enemies for the sole purpose of opposing the will of the Palestinian people." Therefore, he stressed, "No reasonable person can expect any progress on this track."

Update: Morsi in 2010: No Negotiations with 'Descendants of Apes' -- Arutz Sheva

My Comment: Can the Obama administration work with such a racist .... probably not .... Morsi's comments highlights the problems that the White House is going to have. Fortunately .... the West does have some leverage .... they should hesitate in doing this until Morsi comes out publicly to explain these disgusting 2010 comments. And while I do not expect him to apologize for saying them, at least it would highlight the mindset and philosophy of the Muslim Brotherhood, and put pressure on Western governments to not be "so eager" to accommodate the new Egyptian government.

On a side note .... there has been zero coverage from the mainstream U.S. and European press on this story.
