Egyptian Jurists to Sue 'The Jews' for Compensation for 'Trillions' of
Tons of Gold Allegedly Stolen During Exodus from Egypt
The August 9, 2003 edition of the Egyptian weekly Al-Ahram Al-Arabi
featured an interview with Dr. Nabil Hilmi, Dean of the Faculty of Law
at the University of Al-Zaqaziq who, together with a group of Egyptian
expatriates in Switzerland, is preparing an enormous lawsuit against
"all the Jews of the world." The following are excerpts from the
interview: [1]
Dr. Hilmi: "… Since the Jews make various demands of the Arabs and the
world, and claim rights that they base on historical and religious
sources, a group of Egyptians in Switzerland has opened the case of
the so-called 'great exodus of the Jews from Pharaonic Egypt.' At that
time, they stole from the Pharaonic Egyptians gold, jewelry, cooking
utensils, silver ornaments, clothing, and more, leaving Egypt in the
middle of the night with all this wealth, which today is priceless."
Question: "What will the group of Egyptians in Switzerland do about
this issue?"
Hilmi: "Dr. Gamil Yaken, vice president of the Egyptian community in
Switzerland, came to Egypt to collect information. We set up a legal
team to prepare the necessary legal confrontation aimed at restoring
what the Jews stole a long time ago, to which the statute of
limitations cannot possibly apply. Furthermore, [the theft] is based
on their holy book, the same source on which they relied when they
invaded other peoples…
"The Egyptian Pharaoh was surprised one day to discover thousands of
Egyptian women crying under the palace balcony, asking for help and
complaining that the Jews stole their clothing and jewels, in the
greatest collective fraud history has ever known.
"The theft was not limited to gold alone. The thieves stole everything
imaginable. They emptied the Egyptian homes of cooking utensils. One
of the women approached Pharaoh, her eyes downcast, and said that her
Jewish neighbor who lived in the house on the right of her house had
come to her and asked to borrow her gold items, claiming she had been
invited to a wedding… The Jewish neighbor took [the items] and
promised to return them the next day. A few minutes later, the
neighbor to the left knocked on the door and asked to borrow the
cooking utensils, because she was having guests for dinner. Using this
same deceitful system, they took possession of all the cooking
utensils…"
Question: "It is clear why they stole the gold, but why the cooking
utensils?"
Hilmi: "Taking posession of the gold was understandable. This is clear
theft of a host country's resources and treasure, something that fits
the morals and character of the Jews. Yet what was not clear to the
Egyptian women were the reasons for stealing the cooking utensils,
when other things may have been of greater value. However, one of the
Egyptian priets said that this had been the Jews' twisted way
throughout history; they seek to cause a minor problem connected with
the needs of everyday life so as to occupy people with these matters
and prevent them from pursuing them to get back the stolen gold...
"A police investigation revealed that Moses and Aaron, peace be upon
them, understood that it was impossible to live in Egypt, despite its
pleasures and even though the Egyptians included them in every
activity, due to the Jews' perverse nature, to which the Egyptians had
reconciled themselves, though with obvious unwillingness. Therefore,
an order was issued by the Jewish rabbis to flee the country, and that
the exodus should be secret and under cover of darkness and with the
largest possible amount of loot. The code word was 'At midnight.' In
addition, the Jewish women were told to steal the gold and cooking
utensils of the Egyptian women, and that is what happened."
Question: "Did they leave individually or as a group?"
Hilmi: "They left in a convoy of 600,000, that is, about 120,000
families. There were a few wagons in the convoy, and a long line of
donkeys loaded with the stolen goods… They crossed the desert in the
heart of Sinai, in an attempt to confuse Pharaoh's army, which was on
their trail… Later they rested and began to count the stolen gold, and
discovered that it reached 300,000 kg of gold."
Question: "But the Jews can cast doubt on this story with their usual
methods. What is the religious evidence you said is in the Torah?"
Hilmi:"Naturally, the Jews cast doubt on this story because that is in
their interest. But the answer would be that the story is based on
what is written in the Torah. It can be found in Exodus, [Chapter] 35,
verses 12 through 36…"
Question: "So what arguments can be made in support of getting back
our stolen gold?"
Hilmi: "There are two types of claims, one religious and the other
legal. From a religious standpoint, all monotheistic religions have
called not to steal… It is also in the Ten Commandments, which the
Jews were ordered [to observe]. Therefore, they have a basic religious
obligation to return what was stolen, if it exists.
"From a legal standpoint, fleeing with the Egyptians' goods could be
for the purpose of borrowing or for the purpose of stealing. If it is
for the purpose of borrowing, legally it has a temporary dimension,
not a permanent dimension, and therefore they must return [the gold],
with interest, to its owners.
"On the other hand, if the Jews took the goods from the Egyptians not
for the purpose of borrowing it but to keep them for themselves, by
legal norms this is theft, and therefore they must return the stolen
goods to their owners, in addition to the interest for its use over
the entire period of the theft."
Question: "What do you think is the value of the gold, silver, and
clothing that was stolen, and how do you calculate their value today?"
Hilmi: "If we assume that the weight of what was stolen was one ton,
[its worth] doubled every 20 years, even if the annual interest is
only 5%. In one ton of gold is 700 kg of pure gold – and we must
remember that what was stolen was jewelry, that is, alloyed with
copper. Hence, after 1,000 years, it would be worth 1,125,898,240
million tons, which equals 1,125,898 billion tons for 1,000 years. In
other words, 1,125 trillion tons of gold, that is, a million
multiplied by a million tons of gold. This is for one stolen ton. The
stolen gold is estimated at 300 tons, and it was not stolen for 1,000
years, but for 5,758 years, by the Jewish reckoning. Therefore, the
debt is very large…
"The value must be calculated precisely in accordance with the
information collected, and afterward a lawsuit must be filed against
all the Jews of the world, and against the Jews of Israel in
particular, so they will repay the Egyptians the debt that appears in
the Torah."
Question: "Is a compromise solution possible?"
Hilmi: "There may be a compromise solution. The debt can be
rescheduled over 1,000 years, with the addition of the cumulative
interest during that period."
