[Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News] Al-Ahram deputy editor blesses Netanyahu for going after Hamas

There was a big stir in Arabic media over this Facebook post by Azza Sami, deputy editor of Egypt's'Al Ahram newspaper. It translates to:

Bless you Netanyahu, may Allah make a lot of people like you to destroy Hamas, the base of corruption, treachery and being an agent for the (Muslim) Brotherhood. By Allah, whoever tells me "forbidden (to say this)", I don't know what I'll do.

After lots of withering criticism, Sami clarified her position:

I'd like to make my position clear. I did indeed make fun of Netanyahu that he threatened to finish Hamas off despite the fact that for years he hasn't been able to deal with it, and he even had to run to Mursi in order to have a ceasefire with (Hamas). The US administration praised Mursi for his success in this. As for Hamas and my accusation of it that it is treasonous: I believe I haven't said anything new. I made my position clear for the Palestinian people, that I didn't mean to call for striking Gaza. I haven't mentioned Gaza with even one word. My (Facebook) page is private and it doesn't express the newspaper's opinion.
