Immediately after the weekly Friday prayer, thousands of Egyptians in the coastal city of Alexandria have turned out to protest against the freedom flotilla massacre. http://mfatta7.blogspot.com

Egyptian parliamentarians belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood have led the protest. They demanded the Egyptian government opens the Rafah crossing permanently.
They also praised Turkish leadership of the flotilla and condemned Israel's raid in international waters.

Crowds chanted in praise of the Turkish people and Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan.

During the protest, hundreds of Turkish flags were raised next to Palestinian ones.
The Turkish flag has become a common sight recently in pro-Palestine protests in Egypt and youth and kids alike wave it enthusiastically. Turkey's image has indeed been bolstered after the recent flotilla raid.
