As a testament to the gruesome nature of barbarism in the Middle East, a pro-Mubarak Egyptian demonstrator in Cairo has been filmed brandishing what he claims is the ear of an Israeli army officer at two demonstrations, claiming that he chopped the Israeli into pieces during the 1973 war.

It has been reported that the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which regularly monitors Arab language broadcasts, posted videos of Ibrahim Muhammad Ibrahim Abu Fida’i. MEMRI also transcribed and translated them. The video clips show him holding up what looks like a human ear that he claims he kept preserved for nearly 40 years.

“I fear for Egypt, the country for which I fought. I won’t allow anyone to take it away from me. Nobody will take Egypt from us. We fought for this country,” said Ibrahim at an anti-Muslim Brotherhood protest, footage of which was posted on the Internet on June 23, 2012. “This is the ear of an Israeli officer, who killed three of us. I didn’t [just] cut off his ear. I chopped him into pieces. Whoever tries to take Egypt from me again – I will chop him to pieces. I will not stand idly by.”

In another video posted online on March 1, Ibrahim alleges that he preserved the soldier’s ear by keeping it in a bag of salt.

“This bag, with Hebrew on it, was filled with salt. The ear has absorbed all the salt,” said Ibrahim.

On Monday, March 11, former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak called on the citizens of his country to support Egypt’s current leader Mohammed Morsi in order to put an end to the violent protests that have plagued the country.

According to a statement issued to the AFP by Farid el-Deeb, who is Mubarak’s lawyer, the deposed leader is “sad and frustrated” by the protests, which have left dozens dead and hundreds injured since the Muslim Brotherhood’s Morsi assumed power in June 2012.

Deeb said that while Mubarak supports the right of Egyptians to demonstrate peacefully, he denounced the violent protests that have been particularly prevalent in the capital city of Cairo and the coastal city of Port Said.

Since late January, the country has been hit by relentless street protests, mainly directed against Morsi and the Brotherhood. The near-daily demonstrations have turned into clashes with police, and about 80 protesters have been killed since then.
