“Battle of existence”
Hossam Badrawi
A group of dreamers of tomorrow met me on the occasion of the visit of one of the founders of the association, Engineer Mona Wahba, a commercial diplomat and Minister Plenipotentiary, and she was with her colleagues who were credited with forming the institution with me in 1997.
We were and still are preoccupied with the present and future of our country. The events in Palestine and the Hamas attacks were the focus of our dialogue. A young man among them asked me:
What do you think of the events, Doctor, and how do you see them?
I said: My mind doubts, and I feel a desire for support, and a deep anxiety surrounds both of them.
I cannot prevent myself from supporting Hamas in its sudden war with Israel. It is a support that stems from a lump in the throat of the injustice inflicted upon the Palestinian people throughout modern history and the loss of their rights, which has continually created the impression among generations in the East and West that Israel’s occupation of their lands and the indignity of dealing with them is a reality. It turns into a right that contradicts the truth to the point that their uprising against the occupier is considered an act of terrorism in the West.
The question is: Will Egypt really not bear the burdens of this battle in the end? !!!!!
A question that confuses me, and I have doubts about the objectives of the widespread Hamas attack and the large number of dead Israelis and even the captives among them, because I do not trust the leadership of Hamas, their intentions, or the possibilities of their not-so-innocent basic agreements with Egypt.
Any rational and understanding person knows that, despite our support for the Palestinian resistance, there are those who will bear the consequences of the expanded action that Israel considered a state of war.
It is certain that there will be a severe and violent military response from the heavily armed Israeli military machine, and that there is justification for that before the biased Western world.
Where will that response be directed, in the mind? To Gaza and its residents, which may create pressure to flee outside the borders, to Egypt, and we face a terrifying situation with a million or more Palestinians on our borders. We cannot afford not to receive them, and we do not have a way to prevent them except by force, which will put Egypt in a critical and difficult position. very.
Filling Sinai with a million or more people fleeing from Israel’s bombing of Gaza may be one of the main goals of this sudden war, to put Egypt in this position…
I have doubts, and Egypt must have a strategy to confront this.
I do not trust Hamas and I know its ideological affiliation to the Brotherhood, and our experience on January 25 is that they were one of the tools for igniting chaos in Egypt, and it is not right for us to fall into the trap of dividing Sinai, which was and still is a common Hamas-Israeli goal, and with it the creation of chaos in Egypt.
I do not rule out that offers of financial support will come in from Arab countries to accommodate the displaced, creating a new situation that may be difficult to get rid of.
My concern is justified, and wars create a situation after which negotiations begin. My doubt and concern are that Egypt will pay the price in the end.
An angry young woman said: I am sad, because of the reaction of a large sector of society that cheered the killing of Israeli tourists in Alexandria, and they consider the killer a hero, and they do not mention the martyrdom of the Egyptian tour guide at the hands of the killer who committed a despicable act that all religions forbid, and as a result of empty slogans and mental retardation. Ideas that have nothing to do with patriotism.
He killed an Egyptian, a father, and a husband, causing a humanitarian catastrophe.
This killer caused the loss of tourism, the loss of billions of dollars, and the loss of simple principles of humanity. Isn’t this a mistake and stupidity on the part of the killer and those who applaud him?
Her colleague said: This thug has dragged Egypt into a catastrophic political and security problem whose size, repercussions, and repercussions are extremely dangerous, threatening the Egyptian people’s security and economy.. And I am surprised that there are still those who celebrate the killing of guests of the country, even if they are Jews, and the killing of an Egyptian who By working as a guide, he may be a father or brother to someone from a group
Cheering…isn’t this a psychological and mental defect??
I looked at them in silence, and another said: How can we forget that Hamas are also the killers of the fasting Egyptian soldiers in Ramadan and that they were praying for the Egyptian people in Friday prayers behind the imam to bring ruin and poverty during the days of the Rabaa dispersal?
And do not forget that Hamas is an extremist religious faction, the Brotherhood, with Iranian affiliation, funding, and Qatari wealth, and that they are essentially a creation of Israeli intelligence, just as the Brotherhood in 1928 was a creation of British intelligence.
I said: Let us calm down and think rationally and not make accusations randomly. The matter requires reason, not feelings. Regardless of our opinion of Hamas, this should not distract us from supporting the resistance from those who are right, and regardless of emotions, this should not distract us from the humanitarian principles that forbid killing guests. Without any crime or killing in general or going down to the level of those we criticize.
The issue now is, how do we defend the right without descending to the level of the occupier’s baseness, and how do we win over the world that, with Israel’s intelligence and the stupidity of our management of the issue, has become sympathetic to the usurper and condemns the oppressed, and how do we defend Egypt, the division of Sinai, and the chaos that a new reality may create without this being the case? The threat is a reason and justification for not moving forward towards modernizing Egypt and implementing the constitution with separation of powers, accountability, and rotation of power in the new republic.
An internally strong Egypt is the one that can stand up to the civilizational challenge and support the truth. We have no choice but to fight the biggest and greatest battle with ourselves before the enemies.
We must not allow the pursuit of Egypt’s human development to stop, nor be drawn into battles that others create for us. We stand in support of the truth, but that does not distract us or distract us from the fact that we have an existential battle ahead of us, which is developing the capabilities, minds, and souls of more than one hundred million Egyptians.
The Palestinian cause is not Hamas. I am with the Palestinians and their rights, despite my opinion of Hamas.
As I wrote to my fellow Egyptian citizens, I said: Let us reject governments if they do not do their job, but let us not hate the country
I also say let us criticize Hamas and reject their harm to Egypt, but we do not hate the Palestinians or deny their rights.
Hamas is not Palestine, but it is a snapshot in the life of a people who fell under colossal oppression and a nation whose land was stolen with unprecedented violence and racial discrimination never witnessed in history.
We are for the truth and for humanity, and we will not slide into racism
Our main battle inside Egypt, our battle is to develop our country,
This is the battle of existence
