Context is Everything

I see Mohammed Morsi, poster boy for the Arab Spring, has now fallen back on the old defense that these touchy over-sensitive Jews have to learn to distinguish between anti-Semitism and legitimate and thoughtful criticism of Israeli policies. Presidential spokesman Yasser Ali now says that Mr Morsi's remarks that Jews are "bloodsuckers" and "descendants of apes and pigs" and that Egyptian children must be "breastfed hatred" for them were "taken out of context". It was just a thoughtful call for a moratorium on settlements, or an expression of concern about disproportionate response, or a vague feeling that that Netanyahu guy is a bit extreme or something. Whatever.

I wonder what the context for this is:

A mother and her seven children have been jailed for 15 years for converting back to Christianity from Islam in Egypt.

Oh, well. Senators McCain and Graham say give Mo the money anyway.
