Morsi's anti-Semitic slurs 'deeply offensive', US says
The US has strongly criticised Egypt's Mohammed Morsi for anti-Semitic remarks he apparently made before being elected president.
TV footage shows Mr Morsi in 2010 referring to Zionists as "bloodsuckers" and "descendants of apes and pigs".
US officials want the leader to clarify his "deeply offensive" comments, which they say run counter to Middle East peace efforts.
Egypt receives around $1.5bn (£900m) in annual US military and economic aid.
The financial support is linked to Egypt's peace treaty with Israel, which the US considers a cornerstone of regional stability.
'Occupiers of Palestine'.............
What is the feeling deep down !!!
