Oh great. Just when I start feeling like there's a shred of hope, here comes the "national right to resistance" which I think means violence, if one is to judge by the past.
"Even some of her critics, who strongly disagree with Ms. Mustafa's politics, said they were surprised at the selective nature of the condemnation. Singling out Ms. Mustafa said as much about the way the state and state-aligned institutions apply laws and rules, critics said, as it did about widespread hostility to Israel.
"While Ms. Mustafa was punished, six top Egyptian scholars, including some from the nation's premier research center, the Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, attended a conference with the Israeli ambassador. None of them were punished."
But again the reader is at a loss. Why was Mustafa singled out for special punishment? The answer is only hinted at by the name of her journal, Democracy. Mustafa is a liberal reformer and a democracy advocate and that is why she is being repressed. It is one more step in the campaign of Arab regimes against liberals and for maintaining a very tight control over their own societies. Without knowing this, the three paragraphs make no sense.
And this is from Egypt with a so called peace treaty signed with Israel.

There's a shred of hope?
Well maybe a shred. Very small shred.
Sophia,
Here's something that will maybe reduce those hopes from shreds to snippets and lessen the fall:
