Confirmation, doubts and anxiety
Written by Hossam Badrawi
I cannot stop myself from supporting Hamas in its sudden war with Israel. This support stems from a lump in the throat of the injustice to which the Palestinian people have been exposed 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 is inevitable. insult. Dealing with them is a reality that turns into a right
It contradicts the truth to the extent that their uprising against the occupier is considered a terrorist act in Western traditions.
But at the same time, we are accustomed to the Palestinians and Arabs fighting their enemy until the last Egyptian soldier, as if Egypt bears all the responsibility and everyone is a spectator, and this battle that surprised me may be the first of this magnitude whose burdens are ostensibly borne by its owners.
The question is: How do we support them and join hands with them, which is not easy? This is something that needs research. Feelings and sympathy alone are not enough, and international risks and obligations must be taken into account.
The next question is: Will Egypt really not bear the burden of this battle in the end? !!!!!!
A question that confuses me, and I have doubts about the goals of the widespread Hamas attack and the number of Israeli deaths, and even the prisoners, because I do not trust the leadership of Hamas, nor their intentions, nor the possibilities of them not doing so. The 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 this is justified before the biased Western world.
Where will this response go in the mind of Gaza and its residents, which might create pressure to flee across the borders to Egypt? We face a terrifying situation with a million or more Palestinians on our borders. We cannot receive them, and we have no way to prevent them except by force, which will put Egypt in an awkward position. Very embarrassing and difficult.
Filling Sinai with a million or more people fleeing the Israeli bombing of Gaza may be one of the main goals of this sudden war, to put Egypt in this position.
This has been one of the goals of Israel and the West for some time, for North Sinai to become an alternative homeland for the Palestinians. The attempts continued, and this time they may be imposed by combat conditions that give Israel an artificial right to attack Gaza and displace its residents elsewhere. As usual, Egypt bears responsibility.
I have my doubts, and Egypt must have a strategy to confront this.
I do not trust Hamas and I know its ideological affiliation with 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 goal of the Israeli Hamas, and with it the creation of chaos in Egypt.
I do not rule out that offers of financial support will come from Arab countries to shelter the displaced, which would create a new situation that may be difficult to get rid of.
My anxiety has its reasons. The lesson learned from the Egyptian Victory War in October was not only military, but also negotiating and diplomatic, after creating a new situation through the crossing of our forces and the penetration of Bar Lev.
Wars create a situation after which negotiations begin, and my doubt and concern is that Egypt will pay the price in the end.
How do we support the Palestinian resistance for the sake of an oppressed people with a leadership that only wants to harm Egypt and protect Sinai at the same time?
We have to think and prepare.
