Yeah, I guess the ayatollahs weren't really that proud of it... I wonder what Ahmadinejad, who despite his reputation seems to be on the (relatively) more liberal side in his clash with the ayatollahs, has to say about this.
Good question, the impression I have of him is that he isn't more liberal enough to be against something like this.. but then even if he was, I would imagine he would probably hide it to avoid rocking the boat.
I don't know, I found it reassuring in a way that the TV channel would have made a program like that... although I could be misunderstanding their stance on Israel that prompted this show, I guess. That the reactions they got were so predominantly hostile, well, can't say that surprises me.
I saw their thinking behind the show differently - that they were expecting a reaction, if not as violent as happened, and that the public would enjoy it. In effect, they were working on the basis that no normal Egyptian would want anything to do with Israel.

I do wonder if he hates Israel that much or just realised it will be the end of his career. *NM*
