There are no coincidences in politics.
Hossam Badrawi
I, a group of young dreamers of tomorrow and a group of my friends, including diplomats and experts, were watching three videos responding to Israel’s allegations of its alleged historical rights, its racism and its violation of human rights, unfortunately neither of which is Muslim or Arab. (Barcodes are attached to these videos).
A young man asked: Why, when Muslims defend their cause in Jerusalem, they often start attacking each other and then accusing Egypt, and when Palestinian leaders defend their cause, they focus, interpret, and groan over Egypt’s absence by concluding a separate peace agreement with Israel?
I said: They do not complete the fact that everyone was invited to a comprehensive agreement and they did not attend, and what was possible after the October victory has become a distant dream today. This agreement returned the Sinai to Egypt completely, and the two-state solution was within reach, and it was rejected by the Arab and Palestinian leaders.
A young woman said: We are today, shouldn’t we stand with Hamas in its war against Israel?
I said: The challenge that I find before me, my daughter, is my belief in the right of the Palestinian people and the tragedy of all its members on the one hand, and what I find myself in in rejecting the method of resisting their leaders, and their tendency to harm the state that has stood throughout history with them, Egypt.
I have a mixed feeling of sorrow over the violation of the rights of the Palestinian people and a refusal to repeat Hamas’ hostility on every occasion to the Egyptian people.
For hours, I wonder: How could they direct their arrows and stabs at their supporters instead of their enemies?
Look at the three models that I present to you and support their content, and weep for the injustice suffered by the people of Palestine, whose rights on their land are being wasted. But I cannot support Hamas, which I see profiting from the pain of the Palestinian people.
I do not know how I feel about this contradiction between my right, my feelings, and my desire to defend my country from terrorism and chaos that Hamas and their brothers want for Egypt, and my desire to support the people of Palestine whose rights are being violated between the hammer of racist Israel and the anvil of Hamas leaders, who, whenever the opportunity comes, they strike in Egypt, its history, its people and its army and they did not strike in Israel only a form to give it a justification for harming their own people.
But in the end, we have to stand with the right of the oppressed people of Palestine, and not take them for the crimes of their leaders or Arab leaders throughout history.
Another young man asked: Do you see a relationship between the second filling of the Ethiopian dam lake and what is happening in occupied Palestine at the same time?
I said: The truth is that the date of the second filling of the dam lake is approaching, and I cannot prevent my thoughts from linking the start of building the dam during the January 2011 revolution and the chaos that followed, in which the Brotherhood helped and accomplished a drawn up plan, with the intervention of Hamas and their invasion of prisons. I cannot prevent the events from being linked together, and ten years later the second filling of the dam lake begins, which will have an irreversible negative impact on Egypt and Sudan, and between the events of the Israeli violence in Gaza, the building is based on the indiscriminate firing of rockets from Hamas, and Netanyahu’s goals for staying in power are realized The leaders of Hamas achieve victory in the local elections, and everyone wins at the expense of the Palestinian people, whose buildings are demolished above their heads, and their children are killed mercilessly.
This is a position that preoccupies Egypt, its army, the world and its governments in days when the second filling of the dam lake may begin, which Israel had and still has a great interest in completing.
The threads intertwine, but the convergence of goals may not be a coincidence.
And we should not forget that Egypt will remain the real fear of Israel, and there is and will not exist except Egypt, hope for the Palestinians, and a support for the oppressed people.
In politics, I learned that there are no coincidences, but plans, possibilities, calculations, and goals that come true.
The ultimate goal, as the lessons of history have taught us, is Israel’s victory and control of the region, and the weakening, if not killing, of the only civilized power that stands before it, which is Egypt.
My educated lawyer friend intervened, saying: One day, the true history of the development of the Zionist presence in Palestine will be written, securing the expansion of this presence and ensuring its control over the Middle East, the sources of the Nile, the Tigris and the Euphrates.
Perhaps it will appear before the coming generations the positions of great national leaders who had visions that were thrown into thick curtains of misinformation, such as Muhammad Ali, the Wali of Egypt, who secured its borders and the sources of the Nile, made agreements, bought lands, sent Egyptian military garrisons and irrigation engineers, and tightened the grip on the disposal of Egypt’s lifeline in Africa. Rather, the dominant Egyptian presence extended to the Levant, Hijaz and Yemen.
As for the loss of Sudan, about which Al-Nahhas Pasha, head of the Wafd Party and Prime Minister of Egypt, said: “You cut my oath and do not cut off Sudan,” it is a story that we must decipher, and perhaps giving up the unity of Egypt and Sudan was a price for the king’s exit and his abdication of the throne to the revolutionaries under American pressure, which is a matter Worth the analysis.
In the year 1967, the Sinai, the Golan, and the West Bank were lost, and before that the golden cover of the Egyptian pound was lost in the Yemen war. This completed an important part of the Zionist scheme in the region.
I meant by this speech to extend the historical thread that links it, rightly so, between the events of January 2011 and the current uprising of 2021, in order to connect them also to the reality of the old threads that control the making of the reality of the region since the July 1952 revolution and its fateful decisions.
Sir, the Zionist scheme is clear in the minds of Israel’s leaders over their vision for the next hundred years. As for us, we are the hostages of the imprisoned: the present moment, and the temporary reactions.
Otherwise, where, come God, is our unified vision for the future of the Palestinian cause, the Middle East, the sources of the Nile, the Tigris and the Euphrates for the next hundred years?!
I said: There may be part of the truth in your analysis, but we do not know the whole truth.. I still like to imagine the goodwill of our leaders, while taking lessons from their mistakes with impartiality.
And I added: As for your question about the absence of our vision in front of a declared vision of the Children of Zion, and their sustainability in implementing their plan, you have every right.
How can we stand in front of this coherent planning that does not deviate from the goal?
This is a political position, my lady, that requires the presence of politicians with sustainable thinking and conviction, and patience that does not deviate from the goal as well, which is difficult these days.
She said: Yes, you are right, this is something that needs politicians like Gandhi and

Nehru, Nelson Mandela and the group of patriots and economists who were around them.
The wombs of peoples are the birth of leaders, doctor, and there is no sterile people, and Egypt in particular, the genes of civilization in it appear when necessary, and this is what you say in all our discussions.
The young woman who started the conversation returned and said: We are the children of today and we want to know the situation… Will the second filling of the Dam Dam lake begin, and what are we to do?
One of my expert friends replied, and said: The required work is not expected to be completed until the beginning of the flood season at the end of next June.
I said: This does not change much of the situation, but postpones it for weeks.
Guys, the Nile is the soul of Egypt, and drought is its nightmare. The Nile is the heart, blood, backbone and lifeline, and I have confidence in the leaders of my country who know what we do not know, and they bear a terrible responsibility in making fateful decisions at this difficult time.
