Do you remember when I spoke about MB e-committees and their techniques in Facebook and twitter !?
Now do you remember the story of Asmaa El Sayed who supports the MB and turned to be a fake tweep that does not exist !? Well it seems we got another new sister for Asmaa , Ms. Nilly As’ad. This is a living example as the account is still active.
The simple down to earth unveiled girl that defends MB and Islamists day and night using the old claim that Islamists are unjustly fought politically in Egypt because all the world fights Islam to the end of that talk.
Ok I can not imagine that I will blog and write about friends who may face military trails again in my blog after the new constitution and the new president. Sorry I am naive I should expect that when civilians can stand military trials according to the new constitution !!
Unfortunately active North Sinai journalist and blogger Mohamed Sabry“who is well known to almost all foreign journalists who worked in North Sinai” was arrested yesterday while doing a report about the area where our soldiers were killed on the borders last August 2011. It turned out that this area is a military zone and now Sabry will face the charges of trespassing and filming in military zone !!
Sabry is currently in the Central Prison in North and tomorrow morning he will be interrogated by military prosecution.
I feel so worried and sad , Mohamed does not deserve this. He helped a lot of journalists and reporters including me when it comes to news , sources and contacts in Sinai. Unlike many journalists he is unbiased and cares for his country and people.
I just hope that he will be released soon insh Allah and return back to young bride. He was married shortly and it is truly unfair.
This is a very belated post from these posts I should have posted last year and I feel too angry for not posting it on the same day I have been on Al Quorsaya island after that battle took place in early November 2012.
Now 25 civilian are currently facing a military trial in Giza, they are accused of attacking army personnel and army properties. These 25 civilians are from Al Quorsaya civilians. Now here is the story of the island as I have known it. The court will announce its final verdict insh Allah next January 14,2012.
I went to Quorsaya on November 19th , 2012 , on the same day clashes erupted in Mohamed Mahmoud Street during the celebration of the anniversary. I went to Al Quorsaya after one day of that strange raid on the island by the military police in early morning on November 18th, 2012 to restore suddenly a piece of land owned by the Navy.
The island´s entrance from the ferry
How the whole saga started
According to the locals in the island that land “or rather small island besides the main island” was owned by the Navy from about 14 years ago where they held some naval training yet since the revolution , suddenly the Navy forces left with no sign what so ever on that piece of land. Seeing an empty land , some of the fishermen and locals moved and stayed there with their families and tents. Then Suddenly the Navy and the army remembered that piece of land.
That lady was beaten by MP soldiers
When the military police showed up to reclaim the land in November 2012 , some of these locals who were on that land said that they got papers and official ownership documents of that land from more than 14 years but they needed time to search for it. The commander of the military police told them they would give them 48 hours to show those documents but on early Sunday November 18,2012 the military police backed up with CSF attacked the island. They attacked the locals beating them electric shocks rod. I saw a woman badly beaten by the soldiers
Now both parties involved in the fight whether the locals and the army “in its official spokesperson’s statement” accuse each other of using live ammunition. The locals say that the MP officers shot live ammunition.
The locals also told me that the MP soldiers “Allah Akbar” during the attack !! The fishermen’s boats on that land were destroyed. According to the locals also a 23 years old young man called Mohamed Abdel-Mawgoud jumped to the Nile after he was shot twice. Abdel Mawgoud drowned. Other 3 locals drowned while they trying to save late Abdel Mawgoud May Allah bless their souls.
Right after that attack the locals protested back in the mainland in Giza’s El Bahr El Azam main street. Cutting the road and setting tires on fire , they were angry and furious.
Honestly I have heard about several stories about the disputed land but the most common one I have heard from the locals themselves is the one above.
Unlike what you think , this case has nothing to do with the the old Quorsaya land dispute between the NDP businessmen and the locals that ended with a legal triumph for the locals from couple of years ago.
Now here is the disputed piece land , it is not that big nor deserves that war the military police launched against the locals costing 4 lives and the injuries of tens not to mention those 25 men facing military trials.
The disputed island
Geese at that disputed island
It is like another island besides the main island. The army has banned fishing in this area completely today.
The smashed new living
One of the things that I have puzzled me during my short visit is how the MP forces attacked a villa and a workshop owned by a man called “Dr. Ahmed Badawy” and smashing its windows and its living room. What truly puzzled me is that the villa is not besides the disputed island. The villa right in front of the small island was not attacked
The villa of Ahmed Badawy was new , the furniture in the living room that was stormed was not used. In fact the villa seemed to be new from inside. I do not know if Dr. Badawy ,who is popular in that part of the island spoke to the media or not about the incident or not.
Badawy got a workshop and according to the locals his workers who slept at the workshop as some of them not from Cairo , were arrested during the MP’s raid.
Now 25 men from the locals were arrested during the clashes and are facing a military trial. Among the detainees some of the workers working in Ahmed Badawy’s workshop.
I personally believe that this land dispute should be solved in civilian court if you want to speak about fairness. Already this is a small island , the civilians are the majority. Enough of the militarization of the State.
I believe that this is the biggest military trial taking place after the Presidential elections and yet there is complete silence from President Morsi , from Freedom and Justice Party as well the Muslim brotherhood. I used to defend the Muslim brotherhood leaders including Khairat El Shater during their famous military trial and yet not only they are silent but ok with the military trials for civilians articles in the new approved constitution !!
BY the way not only Freedom and Justice Party and MB are ignoring this case but almost all the other parties except may be The Egyptian Current Party and Strong Egypt Party. As usual the pro-Revolutionary movements like No for military trials and Revolutionary Socialists are standing with Al Quorsaya people. A trivia : The 1954 constitution which was drafted right after the Coup of 1952 “and was not adopted” says clearly that Civilians should stand their civilian judges.
The people of Al Quorsaya
Al Quorsaya island is extremely beautiful , it is like a piece of the country side in the Nile between modern Giza and Cairo. Its people mostly work as fishermen and some in agriculture. During my visit I saw that extremely old lady , very cheerful sitting on that wooden upper Egyptian couch who was waving to the guests coming from reporters warmly. I do not know how old she was but she was extremely old. Based on the tattoo on her face, I would say that she came from Upper Egypt like rest of the Qoursaya locals. They came from Upper Egypt from many decades ago. Their curse in life is not poverty but rather that their small island’s location is a golden treasure for tourism development.
I am sorry again that I waited till this time.
Al Quorsaya island after the MP’s raid
Essam Haddad , the assistant of President Morsi on foreign affairs issued this statement in English on his Official Facebook Page.This statement about freedom of press and opinion in Egypt in nutshell defends Morsi and his government against the facts we have on the ground that journalists, reporters and TV hosts are facing hell in the first 6 months of the new elected President’s term.
This statement is in English and is directed to foreign media as if we were living in 1960s and the foreign media does not eyes and ears in Egypt !! I do not know who is fooling with that statement. May he be is fooling the International Muslim brotherhood and the MB supporters abroad but I highly doubt it will fool the foreign media.
He claims that Morsi’s administration did not sue TV hosts or reporters than who filed this report against Mahmoud Saad and Dr. Manal Omar accusing them of insulting Morsi last month !?
Most of the current well-publicized claims were initiated by citizens rather than the Presidency
Well it is partially true and those honorable citizens are Islamist lawyers that are connected directly and indirectly to the Muslim brotherhood and Salafist groups supporting President Morsi. You know Mubarak did not sue the journalists himself but rather bunch of honorable citizens too including NDP members in the governorates.
I spoke about this video before in my blog especially when I blogged on why I refuse the current constitution. Here is the 18 minutes video of Yasser El Borhami , one of the co-founders of Salafist Calling and Al Nour Party speaking to other Salafist Sheikhs about the restrictions imposed in the new constitution. It is translated in English.
Times Newspaper published a very alarming report about the visit of Iranian Spy Chief Qassem Suleimani to Cairo two days before Christmas.
The newspaper claimed that the Iranian spy chief held talks with Egyptian officials mainly from MB leading figures who were interested in founding another Intelligence Service and security guards following the brotherhood instead of Egypt's intelligence controlled by the army.
As I am not Times subscriber , I can not read the original text but this is based upon the translation of BBC Arabic.
Knowing how such report will bring trouble to the Muslim brotherhood whether inside or outside "the Western allies" , the Muslim brotherhood issued an immediate statement denying these claims. "The Muslim brotherhood did not ask for secret support from Iran" the Statement said after the Times' report was spread all over the Egyptian news websites.
Mahmoud Ghozlan ,the official spokesperson of Muslim brotherhood described this report as fictional one.
I want to believe the Muslim brotherhood but unfortunately after their constant lies , I do not believe them easily anymore.
It is worth to mention that Iranian FM will visit Egypt soon and the brothers and supporters believe now it is a good move "against UAE" after they were cheering for Morsi's sectarian triumph over the Shiites in Iran.
Now if this report is true , I believe the Muslim brotherhood will be playing with fire for real because they will get in to a confrontation with 60 years army and intelligence service in time their popularity is not that great in the country now.
An Ismailia military court has ordered the release of Egyptian journalist and blogger Muhamed Sabry on bail adjourning the trial to January 15,2013. According his wife , the amazing Riham he was transferred to Al Arish prison where he will be released insh Allah. I am so happy for him and hopefully insh Allah he will be acquitted from the charges he is facing
Now it turns out Sabry was working for Reuters on a story about the new law issued by the minister of defense regarding the land ownership in the borders area.
The case of Sabry and Al Quorsaya islanders have succeeded in reminding the people with the military trials for civilians. It also brought discussions about how and why the civilians who drafted this constitution like Moatez Abdel Fatah and Nader Bakkar accepted this article. Of course both men are defending themselves online in the worst way ever. They simply do not have any valid point and still they defend this article amazingly !!
Alexandria is having its worst days as usual in the Winter with all these storms and rain turning its streets as big sea yet as it is a beautiful city , you can find beauty in these cloudy stormy moments.
Here is a beautiful time lapse video showing the stormy clouds of Alexandria by Mohamed Ahmed Aboud.
It is beautiful.
The Weather is extremely cold and rainy unlike last year or the year before. The elderly believe rain is the start of welfare as we are originally agricultural society. Yet my generation believe that rain is like bless and curse at the same time considering our poor and old infrastructure not to mention our homeless and chanty towns people.
People are sharing streets that like dirty ponds but one photo stands among all the photos.
The simple Oranges street vendor protects his donkey from rain.
I got these two interesting remarks from Upper Egypt which I got from dear trust friends.
Friend #1 was a road trip in Upper Egypt from two weeks ago , from Cairo to Marsa Alam. He asked people where he stopped in the governorates about what they think about the country , the revolution and the Muslim brotherhood as well whether they said yes or no to the referendum.
Amazingly this is the summary of what he got from answers : They do not support the revolution nor the Muslim brotherhood or Morsi , in fact they hate the MB but they said “Yes” in the referendum for the sake of stability and “Life goes on”
Friend #2 is a dear journalist and friend from Upper Egypt , his family is well connected and he got tons of contacts there from big clans , families and former MPs. He told me last week that in last year’s elections “and expected this year” Islamist parties , mainly Salafist were offering the big and famous members of the clans an opportunity to run for parliaments in electoral lists “and they are not Salafist” for specific amount of money like in the days of NDP !!!!
It is worth to mention that Sufi beliefs has been dominating Upper Egypt for centuries.
You know Egypt will have a true revolution if Upper Egypt joins this revolution.There are groups of revolutionary youths in the Upper Egypt governorates but they are not enough. It is worth to mention that the highest rates of poverty and illiteracy in Egypt are in Upper Egypt. I believe that the South in general is our key for new real renaissance.
Why is it an international SOS !? Because our ruling government , our president,ruling party and their allies from Islamists care less about Ancient Egyptian history. Why is it an international SOS ?? Because our government and president are still sensitive to Western Pressure more than local pressure.
There is a danger surrounding the Dahshur archaeological area and the bent Pyramid according to renowned journalist Yasser El Zayat. Mr. El Zayat reported that armed locals “from land traders and robbers ” stormed the archaeological site and began to distribute the land in the site for illegal construction. El Zayat who works in ONTV also reported that construction has began and is reaching to the bent pyramid by those armed thugs who are threatening archeological inspectors.
Sadly enough there is a military point check few kilometers away from the site and is doing nothing against this attack !! They claim that they are waiting orders from the Central Zone commandership of Grand Cairo !! The police also refused to interfered.
Dahshur is world heritage area according to UNESCO so please call the UNESCO and tell them to do something for God sake.
Already the archeological areas near the pyramids are facing hell on earth from robbers and land thieves with no police or army or security !!
Unfortunately we do not have enough photos or videos showing the violations because photographers can not go there without security protection as we are speaking about land robbers who are armed and aggressive. Already a dear friend and reporter was working on a similar story in Old Cairo and faced similar challenge. Here is a video shot by Mrs. Wahiba Saleh, the head of inspectors in the area.
It was shot by her mobile , you can show violations and some sort of construction began to take place in that area which was empty if you search in photos online for archaeological reasons.
Update :
Here is another photo showing the construction works near the Black Pyramid via Monica Hana
Unfortunately the Islamists including the current generations of Muslim brotherhood care less about ancient Egyptian history. They despise the ancient Egyptian history as ancient Egyptians were infidels in prophet Moses’ story !! “Despite the Mother of All Arabs is ancient Egyptians and Joseph ruled Egypt not to mention that there is a belief among unorthodox Egyptologists like late Siyad Kareem that Akhanton was a prophet of God.” Unfortunately many Islamists in Egypt believe now that our ancient history starts with the entry of Islam to Egypt ignoring even some important parts of Islamic Egyptian history like the Fatimid State !!
If you are interested to know more please contact Mr.Yasser El Zayat
A group of Palestinians , more than 250 men and women made something my generation will remember , they made the impossible in Jerusalem and set up the first Palestinian village in its East occupied part since 1967.
More than 250 men and women inspired by the Occupy movement “Started proudly in Egypt and Tunisia” and decided to occupy their own stolen land in Al-Tur which is originally owned by a Palestinian man.
Al-Tur is being called by the Israeli government as E1 Zone and as usual , as the habit of that government it violates all international agreements and treaties , the government in Israel decided to build an illegal settlement in E1. We are speaking about 4000 settlement units built on a Palestinian land.
E1 is an area of about 13 square km that falls on confiscated Palestinian land East of Jerusalem between Ma’ale Adumim settlement, which lies on occupied West Bank Palestinian land, and Jerusalem.
But yesterday Palestinian men and women decided to establish their own village on that land , Bab Al Shams village.
This is an ideological free movement made from Palestinians who got sick from their political movements whether PLA or Hamas , this time the people do lead their movements for real.
Photos from Active Stills.org
Before you debate about the Palestinian rights and you say what you want but according the Security council’s 242 resolution Israel has to withdraw from the land it occupied in 1967 including East Jerusalem where Bab Al Shams village is.
The village is set up already in a land owned by a Palestinian man whose ancestors got its contract since the Ottoman Empire.
Now Bibi wants to evacuate those locales of Bab El Shams , roads are already blocked by IDF and IOF. Of course the Israeli high court did not give Stinky Bibi the right to evacuate the new Sun’s gate from its people but I fear sooner or later that little village will be attacked by IDF and IOF. As I hinted the main roads are blocked and Palestinians are reaching to the village through mountains. The food and medical supplies come from Palestinian areas.
Here is a photo showing the medical team in the village.This is so Tahrir spirit. May Allah protect them.
We expect that they will be attacked any minute now.
The stars of the sun's gate village by active Stills
The revolution continues indeed. Tahrir spirit is there, oh yes baby the true Tahrir spirit.
You can follow the news of Bab El Shams village on Facebook here.On twitter you can follow the amazing hashtag"Bab Al Shams"
Bab El Shams means The sun’s gate and it is the name of an epic novel by Lebanese author Elias Khoury about the Palestinian agony in the 20th century. The novel is known in my generation more as a sad film directed by Egyptian director Yousry Nasrallah.
Now Khoury sent online message to the people of Bab El Shams on his official Facebook Page. It says the following :
The sunrise in the village
A message to my people in Bab El Shams village. I will not say “I wish I were with you because I am with you. I see you and I see how the dream has become a reality on your hands rooted in the land. Mahmoud Darwish had once written “there is what on this earth what makes life worth living” , when you built your amazing village you restored the meaning to the phrase and you become the children of this land .. and its masters.
This is the Palestine which Yunis dreamt of in Bab El Shams novel. Yunis had a dream of words and the words have become like wounds bleeding and you the people of Bab El Shams have become words writing down the dream with the ink of the future .. and returning Palestine to Palestine.
I see in your village all the faces of the beloved ones that have become absent in the way back to Palestine. Palestine is the date for all those strangers kicked out from their land. You are the children of the land , its olive and oil.
You are the olive of Palestine that is enlightened by the sun of justice , you build your village enflaming the fire of freedom. “Light Upon light”
I see in your eyes a nation reborn from the ruins of the on going Nakba. I see you and words grow in my heart. I see words and you grow inside me till you reach and storm heavens.
In the end I have one request , to accept me as a citizen in your village to learn with the meanings of freedom and fairness.
Elias Khoury
Beirut
12 January 2013
It is a small thing but very big for Palestinians and Arabs in general.
May God protect Bab El Shams village and its great people.
And as expected Israeli forces attacked Bab El Shams village on Palestinian land kicking out its people. The attack happened in early Sunday's morning as expected. The armed forces attacked the village and dispersed the peaceful sit in of its residents despite they were unarmed.
Five protesters were injured only in the attack, it is sad that in our sits in we got higher number of injured.
What is even more sadder is that there is a media black out if I may say. There was no a proper coverage for that amazing experience for God sake !!!
Here is a photo gallery showing the attack from citizen journalists and reporters
You can disperse a sit in thousand times , you can detain protesters million times but you can not kill any idea , a dream , a right.
You can not close the Sun's gate.
Thank Goodness the media began to move slowly and started to wonder what is taking place in Dahshur. The army and the police have not moved yet despite the pleas of the ministry of antiquities.
Now people began to good there to know what is really going on. It is worst than we can imagine. Here are the photos from Dahshur taken yesterday by Egyptologist Monica Hana.
If you look closer in the photos you will notice that these houses or constructions are not built in an urban area but rather a desert area with no facilities what so ever. This is why many believe “including me” that these fake houses are actually used to hide illegal digging and trade of antiquities in the area.
Already this area suffered a decade of continuing thefts that did not stop after the revolution unfortunately.
Spam the Egyptian embassies with phones , emails and faxes reminding the Egyptian government that this is a world heritage. I do not have much faith in the army or the police to save anything already. The people of Egypt are fighting on different fronts on many levels. We need the world with us in this fight because this is a world heritage not an Egyptian internal matter.
And in less than two months , we have another horrifying train crash. This time it is in Badrahsin and the trains are freight train and Conscripts train coming from Upper Egypt !!
According to official Ministry of health statement 19 were killed and over 100 were injured. Mostly from young conscripts who finished their training in the Central Security forces، the passengers came from Miniya heading back to Cairo so they would be assigned to their new locations in the CSF.
It is not the first time Badrashin witnesses a train crash. In fact historically this could be the third time it happens in this area !!!
Here is a horrifying testimony form the survivors
The conscripts are reporting that there were 1200 conscripts squeezed in the train and that they were extremely mistreated by the high rank conscripts of the ministry of interior.There is no light in the train nor bathroom. 6 conscripts are being seated in one place when the train seats takes two only !! According to eye witnesses locals and survivors helped the injured.
Here is a photo gallery from Jonathan Rashad who took amazing sad shot , dear friend Lina Al Wardani and Shahab El Din from the location.
The conscripts train is not a military one but rather a civilian one according to Colonel Ahmed Ali and that those conscripts were following the the ministry of interior and not the defense. The sad irony that shows the true government failure in Egypt is how the PM , our current PM sent his condolences to the ministry of defense early this morning as he thought the victims were army conscripts where as the ministry of defense sent its condolence to the ministry of interior because the victims were CSF conscripts !! The cabinet takes its info from the internet as it seems.
No communication or information what so ever !! This is in disaster time !! Can you imagine in decision making process !!!?
It is said that PM Qandil tried to visited the location but failed after he was kicked out of Badrashin by angry locals. He visited later the injured in Maadi military hospital along with the minister of defense.
Nevertheless the Conscripts trains are usually the worse when it comes to quality. The conscripts already complained in Upper Egypt from its constant problems. It reportedly broke down in several stops.
As usual the ministry of the social insurance decided to issue a compensation to the victims : LE 15,000 to the dead and LE 2000 to the injured. The prime minister raised the compensation as usual.
Now I can not believe the Muslim brotherhood supporters who are claiming that this is a deliberate accident planned by the opposition specifically by the National Salvation front !!! I am not speaking about a small time members but big mouth members like pathetic Ahmed El Mogheer who demands the public prosecutor to investigate the front !! El Mogheer also believes that there is a deliberate plot against the Upper Egyptians who support Morsi !!
MB points out to a conspiracy against Morsi !! "Ghost3amr"
The only evidence those pathetic losers got apparently is how fast ONTV Live transferred a live broadcast from Badrashin train crash !!!!!!!!!!! Well ONTV Live did what any other channel should do especially those channels in the Media city in October , they can sent a camera and correspondent in no time to Badrashin for God sake. Already those idiots forgot that ONTV was sold to a Tunisian Media tycoon who is not related to the National Salvation Front !!
Sadly those idiots did not pay attention to the fact that ONTV Live and other reporters and journalists reached to the crash site before the ambulance !!!
Already I do not understand how on earth the Egyptian TV aired a comedy film last night and only announcing the news in the news bar
A group of activists and protesters in Cairo and Alexandria are thinking of blocking the railways in both governorates to protest against the failure of the Egyptian state railways.
Update :
The locals in Badrashin blocked the railways to protest against the frequent train accidents
The survivors from the new conscripts are reporting sad and disgusting treatment. They are humans dear ministry of interior for God sake !!
These are the injured of Badrashin , each two staying in one beds. They were not from the lucky few that transferred to Maadi military hospital where they could meet president Morsi , PM Qandil and minister of defense El Sissi !! These are our true hospitals , our true soldiers and.. our true country unfortunately.
Our conscripts are being put by pairs in one bed in the hospital just like they are forced to be squeezed in that doomed train. They were 2800 conscripts in that train for God sake , the lucky ones were seated while the rest were standing up in that long January from Upper Egypt to Cairo.
Now I will re-post again the video I posted in the first Badrashin train crash’s tragedy.
This video was recorded by El Badil e-newspaper at the scene right after the crash. I translated some of the quotes in the video in to English because they are extremely important.
Conscript#1 :
We came from Assuit , Sohag and New Valley “South”. We were heading to Mubarak sector “of central security forces” in Cairo. We were sleep but suddenly we woke up when a big bang happened. It turned out to be the freight train. The carriage derailed. I was so scared. Everybody was screaming. The train was extremely crowded.The seat for two was carrying three and even more. We are mistreated as if we were dogs. Our friends in the back carriage were killed.
Conscript#2 :
The train was already broken since we moved from Assuit. It broke down completely in Al Maniya but maintenance crew came and fixed those carriages in the back. “I did not get what he said”here. This why there were many casualties.
Conscript#3 :
Our superior told us there was nothing outside after the crash.
Conscript#4 :
We saw dead bodies and injured everywhere , we did not know what to do. The police and ambulance did not show up except it was too late. The superiors mistreated us and hit us when we tried to get out from the carriages “!!”
Conscript #5 :
We were not allowed to eat or drink , to sleep or even to smoke in the train. We are humans for God sake . We come from Upper Egypt , the home of dignity.
The photos , the videos and testimonies are heart breaking but there is something changing in the attitude. People are not afraid of talking anymore.
There is still misunderstanding about whether this is a military train or civilian train. Some of the survivors say that it was a military train despite they are CSF conscripts while the ministry of defense says it is not. Either ways the conscripts’ military train is not that great as it is equally terrible just like civilian trains !!
Of course this is semi-official directive as it seems : Blame the Christians in Egypt as well ONTV for the horrifying Badrashin train crash.
Officially the MB will not claim that Egyptian Christians and ONTV channel are standing behind the tragic accident but their unofficial media from Facebook Pages of their MB members are spreading these sad and disgusting claims like fire in the past 48 hours.
We will not say that this is a conspiracy but are the Christians specialized only in driving in Railway Egypt !? Or they do not show up except in disasters only !!??
Exhibit #2
And this is from the top MB youth stars aka artist Ahmed Al Mogheer.“I do not understand what kind of arts he presents to be honest” Al Mogheer published the above exhibit with that comment “The Nation’s partners {in reference to Christians} unite with the the National salvation Front” !!
Screen capture by Nermeen Bedair
Of course Al Mogheer had another theory : It is the opposition and the evidence is that disasters always happen in Morsi’s term before his big decisions to create public anger.
According to some source Al Mogheer is close to Khairat El Shater’s office. He was among the MB youth that participated in the Presidential Palace clashes and he is reported to the prosecutor office like Abdel Rahman Ezz.
Dr. Essam El Din claims that there is a conspiracy by Sawiris in order to bring down the MB and his proof was that ONTV live was the first to reach to the crash site.
Ironically Naguib Sawiris sold ONTV to Tunisian Media Tycoon Tarek Ben Ammar last month !!
The Egyptian people are slamming these claims on Online in the social media.
SO much for tolerance. This shows you what we are dealing with. This is too much for individual behavior , it is a group thinking. It is published and spread by members in the brotherhood including influential young members like Mogheer or local members like Essam El Din.
The White House was shocked to hear and see that President Morsi in the past may consider the Jews as the grandchildren of pigs and Monkeys. Senator John McCain raised the topic too thanks to the New York Times’ report about the videos of Morsi in the past.
But the Western media is not fool because attacking Jews and not Zionism only is part of the Muslim brotherhood’s literature and it is enough to hear the chants and the slogans of the MB rallies in solidarity with Palestine especially the Past. I think MEMRI got huge archive for the Muslim brotherhood. It is not a new thing. What is new that superficial shock, yes superficial shock of American administration.
The American administration knows very well about how the Muslim brotherhood looks to the Jews and Zionists but it had to act like this after the New York Times’ report in order to keep its image as a fighter of anti-Semitism in the so-called free world.
What was shocking and surprising for Egyptians for real is how Mohamed Morsi and the official MB’s talk changed after the elections when it comes to Israel , Jews and Zionists after years of seeing the MB attacking Mubarak for using the similar talk with Israel and Zionists. I do not understand how after years of attacking Mubarak because of the Qiz agreement , the MB does not only ignore its cancellation completely as they demanded the ousted president but rather extended it in Egypt !!
Of course the hateful talk needs a long post. It is enough to see what the MB members write about Christians and even other Egyptian Muslims who oppose ideologically and politically to know there is something wrong , something hidden has appeared on the surface.
I know very well how positions change people and what is in the heart is in the heart but .. these double standards make many people angry. This is what Bassem Youssef was trying to say in his show last week.
I am not that shocked that the Muslim brotherhood in the leadership changed its talk as politics is truly dirty but I am truly shocked that the MB leaderships are deceiving its young members claiming that the opposition icons and groups like ElBaradei and April 6 Youth are working with the Americans, Jews and Zionists to bring down Egypt.
I ca not take it anymore from the MB double standards honestly.
Old Egyptian Chronicles know how much I love this old lost stuff !! Thanks to online treasures diggers we found this interview with Nasser that goes back to 1969. The interview was conducted by NY Times managing director then and it was filmed to be aired in some US TV channel in what is considered the first interview with foreign TV channel since 1967. Of course its main topic was Egyptian and Arab Israeli conflict. Watch and tell me what you think about the interview.
