The More Things Change, The More They Remain the Same

Oh well: "But the blame-the-Jews/Israelis game has begun, and, if history is any indicator, will continue to grow and expand until the Arab world’s problems – and eventually, maybe, the whole world’s problems – will be laid, with a violent flourish, at Israel’s door. And Jews worldwide will pay the price." 
Also see this article by Caroline Glick: "If the media reported on the overwhelming Jew hatred in the Arab world generally and in Egypt specifically, it would ruin the narrative of the Arab conflict with Israel. That narrative explains the roots of the conflict as frustrated Arab-Palestinian nationalism. It steadfastly denies any more deeply-seated antipathy of Jews that is projected onto the Jewish state. The fact that the one Jewish state stands alone against 23 Arab states and 57 Muslim states whose populations are united in their hatred of Jews necessarily requires a revision of the narrative. And so their hatred is ignored. But Israelis don't need CNN to tell us how our neighbors feel about us. We know already. And because we know, while we wish them the best of luck with their democracy movements, and would welcome the advent of a tolerant society in Egypt, we recognize that that tolerance will end when it comes to the Jews. And so whether they are democrats or autocrats, we fully expect they will continue to hate us."
