Ahmed Al-Gamal, an Egyptian journalist, demands that the Egyptian government sue Israel for the 10 plagues that befell his country during the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt.
""We want compensation for the blows inflicted on us as a result of the curse that the forefathers of the Jews placed on our ancestors," the publicity-seeking journalist told the Egyptian newspaper Al-Yawm Al-Sabi.
""Our ancestors were not guilty and did not have to pay for the mistakes that Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt at the time, made. What is written in the Torah proves that it was Pharaoh who oppressed the Israelites, and not the Egyptian people. But they punished us with locusts that left nothing behind; with a plague that turned the waters of the Nile red so that no one could drink from them; with a plague of darkness; with a plague of frogs; and with a plague that killed all the firstborn sons.".

The journalist is not satisfied with compensation for the blows. He goes on to claim that the Israelites took a lot of property from the Egyptians, which they used for their journey through the desert.
""We want compensation in the form of gold, silver, copper, precious stones, fabrics, skins, meat, wool, and other materials that I will mention later - everything that the Jews used for their rituals.
""These are resources that you can't find when you're wandering in the desert, so they had to take them before they left Egypt.".
