He's the only leftist likely to win there and Nasserism sh**ts all over the other options.
Yes, let's wipe Israel off the map! And didn't Morsy promise democracy? It seems like he won't turn into a dictator or anything.
First of all, Nasserism is something far more complex.
Second of all, war of 1967 happened well over 40 years ago.
Yeah, that was really really really stupid. But I would like a winner to keep the peace treaty, and I trust Morsi to do that more than Sabbahi.
Even the Muslim Brotherhood is favoring honoring the peace treaty.
No one is talking about actual war, and even breaking relations is pretty much off the table. Most candidates have spoken of "revising" the treaty, and that probably means remilitarizing the Sinai.
While that scares the Israelis due to the possibility of a future war, they have actually been negatively effected by the lawlessness of the Sinai since the revolution. If the Israelis maintain a certain level of trust with the Egyptian government once the dust settles, I don't think they would necessarily object to a partial remilitarization.
