Egypt to strip men married to Israelis of citizenship

The feminist assertion that men have more rights than women, especially in societies that are (supposedly) patriarchal, is false. The latest example of this can be found here. If men are so powerful, why is it that the fundamental right to belong as part of the most basic political body a modern state can have (ie, the right of citizenship), can be summarily discharged simply for having married "the wrong kind of woman" -- or indeed, for any other reason that happens to become fashionable to those in charge? Excerpt:

'CAIRO (AFP) – A Cairo court on Saturday upheld a ruling to strip Egyptian men married to Israeli women of their citizenship in a case that has highlighted national sentiment towards Israel.

Judge Mohammed al-Husseini, sitting on the Supreme Administrative Court, said the interior ministry must ask the cabinet to take the necessary steps to strip Egyptian men married to Israeli women, and their children, of their citizenship.

The court said that each case should be considered separately, in a ruling that cannot be appealed.

The ruling reflects Egyptian sentiment towards Israel, more than 30 years after Egypt signed an unpopular peace deal with the Jewish state.

Before reading the verdict, Husseini said the case would not apply to Egyptian men married to Arab Israeli women.

"The case for (Egyptian) men married to Israeli Arab women is different to those married to Israeli women of Jewish origin because (Israeli Arabs) have lived under Israeli occupation," Husseini told the court.'
