Egypt :
I’m not sure if what I’m about to say represents anyone’s sentiment besides mine...But I have a true conviction and I want to share it and announce it, as publicly as I know how.
The Egyptian army, called upon by Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, is one of the strongest and largest armies in Africa and the Middle East, with more than 450,000 Active and 4 MILLION on reserve...so urm..I think it’s a tad bit bigger than you actually THINK!
Also, a small reminder...
in 1948: 20,000 Egyptian soldiers were on the front line...
in 1967: a total of 100,000 Egyptian Soldiers were deployed...10,000 of them were killed, with a further 1,500 Egyptian officers, and 20,000 Egyptians wounded. Another 6,000 Egyptians were listed as missing...and across the years, many more embarrassing political times and economical losses were endured by the Egyptian nation.
Mr. Nasrallaha, these soldiers you call on so easily do not respond to you, and will not just because you taunt them with their patriotism and manhood. These soldiers respond to orders, respond to their commanders, and fight for their country, and when their country calls on them for protection, ours, and MANY TIMES, yours!
These soldiers are honorable, and brave, and have never failed to prove so...These soldiers, are now killed on our own borders by your bullets.
The people you are urging to walk down the streets and protest do not respond to you either. You do not just call upon a couple of millions like you’re some GOD! and expect them to bow down and comply...You just do NOT encourage coups in a neighboring Arab country Mr. Nasrallah, you just don’t!!!! If you do not have the full capacity to understand what a couple of million protesters would do to this country, then you just don’t talk about it!
You definitely don’t give ultimatums to one of the biggest and oldest and most active countries in the Arab-Israeli conflict.
You’re using your wounded as blackmail, we either open the border ALL THE WAY, for EVERYONE, or you don’t let anyone through? Well, in this case, their blood is on your hands, not ours.
After opening the Rafah crossing, an Egyptian Soldier was killed with Palestinian Bullets...according to medical reports, it couldn’t have been accidental. Way to go!
With what little respect I have left for you, as a fighter, as a ‘patriot’, as a Sheikh!! I ask that you look around, look at the demonstrations in front of Egyptian consulates in different countries, Instead of Israeli ones! Look at what the people are calling us now. Look at where the anger has been channeled...well done...It worked!
I condemn any aggression that results in lost lives, lives of innocent men, women and children, I condemn cowardice, I condemn countries that turn their back on the Palestinian case. But Egypt IS NOT one of those countries, and nor are my people, and nor is my army.
It’s shameful, it’s sad, it’s truly tragic...
And in your own words...”God is Great”...

I agree with every word in this post, Sarah.
Bravo for having the guts to put it up, and it makes a nice change to read some truth for a change.
Thanks

A real pleasure Sarah.
Do you remember you talked Egypt/France on my post and I answered that ”Although I don’t know much...” or something.
Well it’s TRUE lol!!
I am not an expert on Egypt, but I know enough from first hand experience to know that the Egyptian military is highly disciplined and has a sense of integrity and a relatively solid political neutrality vis-a-vis the country.
Whereas I get the impression that Nasrallah’s outfit has no other interest but political power.
The Egyptian Army and Nasrallah’s organisation are worlds apart, and I hope and trust that things will stay that way.

Yes, you’re right. I really hope this doesn’t escalate any further, or meander in unnecessary directions.

Oh, I don’t see that happening with things as they are for now, but, although I have no respect for the ultimate objectives of this person, it would be foolish to underestimate his excellent ability to manipulate.
But as I say, unless things change drastically, I can’t see Egyptian institutions of any sort buying onto his agenda, even though certain elements of the population may wish it.

Thanks sara for this great response. it is what i feel and want to say as a normal egyptian who got nothing to do with politics but these are the sentiments i wanted to share with everyone after Nasrallah speach.
Sadat offered all the arabs peace decades ago, but look where they are now.
Even Nasrallah who asks us to open the borders, what does he want??? have palestinians in Camps like what they do in Lebanon?????
All my heart with our brothers in Palestine, but i believe opening the border will not solve the problem.
Few months back, Isreal stopped the attacks... they started attacking each other. I believe they need internal political reform then they can face Israel and the world as one hand.
Anyway, hope things gets better.

”I believe they need internal political reform then they can face Israel and the world as one hand.”
A very pertinent and realistic statement Yehia.
Anything else, at this moment, would mean chaos for Palestinians.
But, as we know very well, there are cetain radical Arab interests that dream of instrumentalising the Palestinians for their own, more global, aims. They don’t give a f*** abput the Palestinian people.
I do. I wish them peace and happiness free from the current geo-strategic abuse to which they are being subjected.
By both sides.
Respect to you.

Denis:
You should really get out more. ”Bite me” is a colloquialism used mainly by young people as our generation would have used the expression ”Kiss my A**”
Sarah:
As a former adversary now at peace with your country (no matter how rocky it may seem at times), I applaud you and your opinions.
Keep up the good work!

What happened is a large portion of the Arab world has been criticizing Egypt for it’s reaction to the Gaza Attacks,
In Yemen, the Egyptian Consulate was attacked the Egyptian flag was burnt ALONG with the Israeli flag:http://sarahngb.instablogs.com/entry/egypt-displeased-with-consulate-attack-in-yemen/.

It’s tragic to see so many people attack the one country that has been mediating peace for the longest time between Israel and Palestine, Hamas and Fatah, and has been a crusader for the Palestinian Cause from the very beginning.

heya Sarah, yea I’m that same pain in the ass who usually come to disagree, you can bear with me or you can disagree as well, you’re free...
first of all, I agree that the Egyptians would have ”inflame” the streets with the very same numbers and intensity they are doing now even if Nasrallah didn’t come up with his last statement, simply because they are patriots– always they were.
again, let me say something I’ve said to you once before, people are accusing the Egyptian Government not the people. Seeing this requires the least of intellectual powers. However, I agree there were some few violations as in Yemen for ex. but this doesn’t change the holistic view.
the Egyptian Government have done many wrong things which I have addressed once in Michael’s post, however, might I ask you why do you refuse to address the Egyptians as ”heedless mob” who’re waiting the ”orders” of Nasrallah, while you’ve depicted others in Syria, Lebanon, and other countries as if they were thoughtless animals with no intellectual powers at all, waiting for Nasrallah (or anyone’s) call?
this is condescending methinks, all humans have intellectual faculties that render them able to perceive the facts on various levels.
this time I wish you may answer me, because after all, we all share the idea of prioritizing the unity of an arabic reaction.

Hi H.A. Ayoub,
I’ll give my personal opinion here.
Accusing egyptian government can be based on strong opinion and we as egyptians do disagree with our government in many things, but when it comes to the main stream forign policy, we as egyptians prefer peace to war.
Here, Nasserallah didn’t only attack Egyptian government, but he took it more into accusing them of being involved in this, that they are a part of this Siege. And even pushing it more by asking egyptians to revolt.... who is he to ask a nation to clash with their police or government??? Internal affairs are a red line that should never be crossed by Nassrallah or else.
With All respect, Yes, we don’t see ” yria, Lebanon, and other countries as if they were thoughtless animals with no intellectual powers at all, waiting for Nasrallah (or anyone’s) call?”
But for great majoirity of this group, they call him ”THE MASTER / Al Sayyed” and whatever he says his supporters or hizboallah party just go for it either being the only power in the area, or having such authroity through the religious believe, but this is a fact, can’t say for all the region mentioned by for most of it.
I agree with you ”ll humans have intellectual faculties that render them able to perceive the facts on various levels.”
But again, this is being erased when you give such power or authority to ”The Master / Al Sayyed” and treating him in such a way that he is fault-proof holly person.
Again, don’t take my words by generalization but i mean that for his followers which is the active majority in the levant area.
peace be upon you and all those who are pro peace.

H.A, Hello
I understand that many people are accusing the Egyptian Government, not the people, but my post was regarding Nasrallah’s speech and his attempt to mobilize the people, not the government, and specifically say that the government would be helpless in the face of millions.
I don’t see where exactly I depicted Syrians or Lebanese or any other nation as a heedless mob? All I spoke of was Egyptians, in response to Nasrallah’s ..shall I say request. I’m speaking for my people, that is all. I would be in the front lines of these protesters, requesting more help to the Palestinian people, I just don’t think opening the border is the solution, nor do I feel like my country or my government isn’t doing enough.
Please point out to me the ’other time’ at which I haven’t answered you...and I shall straight away. Urm, and to be quite honest, my priority is not ’uniting’ the Arabic reaction.. My priority is saving lives which are threatened, stopping the Israeli aggression, and standing up for what I see is right, in regards to my government’s reaction.

you’ve done this when you noted that ”You do not just call upon a couple of millions like you’re some GOD! and expect them to bow down and comply”, whilst you’ve mentioned that it worked in those countries.
uniting the arab reaction doesn’t mean to necessarily taking an offensive position, the version you’ve suggested can be a part of this ”uniting”. however, I still cannot see the relevancy of ”praying for Gaza, Protesting for Gaza, crying and revealing how bad we feel concerning the situation in Gaza.” nothing of this is helping, we should try something else right? of course that must not include to revolt against any arab country.

thank you for addressing my points so clearly, now allow me to answer you:
1) all of us prefer peace, Syria was lately involved in peace talks with Israel. Syria, Hezbollah, Iran...do the math. however, judging the syrian intention over the matter would be futile since none of us can claim to know the details of any country’s affair.
2)Nasrallah didn’t call for a revolution, he asked the Egyptians to ”push” their government into opening the Rafah crossing. Again, the Egyptian would have done that without him saying so, which means, the government is wrong on this matter (at least in the eye of its people.)
3)If there is numerous people who calls Nasrallah ”the master”, so you only have to respect them, you can call him a devil if you want, but you have no right of addressing them as thoughtless sheeps just because they call him a master. as a matter of fact, people all over the globe has their own ”master” whom they think he says only the right things, so this doesn’t give you the right to condescend these people.
4)that if your argument was true at first, which is not actually, cos people in Pakistan, Dublin, Yemen, have accused the Egyptian government and I don’t think they are all Hezbollah supporters.
5) your last argument is partially correct, however, like i’ve stated in 4, not all of those who protested against the Egyptian Government are Hezbollah supporters.
one thing to remain, even the Egyptian people had similar reactions as that of their fellow Syrians, Lebanese...etc. are they all supporters of Hezbollah as well? again this is condescending, people like you and me can do math and can deduct ideas out of facts. only beasts are pro-war, and we are human beings.

”(Nasrallah) asked the Egyptians to ”push” their government...)
Hi H.A.
I am learning a lot of things I didn’t know from your talk with Sarah. Thanks both.
Concerning the quote from your comment which is printed above, your inference here about ”no revolution” is semantic and vague, if you don’t mind me saying so.
What does ”push” mean? It can mean many things, including ”pushing people over the edge and into revolution”.
Moreover, in the two translations of his ”speech” that I have read, the words used are ”force” and ”pressurise”.
”Push” in no way means he was categorically not asking for revolt.
(The same goes for ”force” and ”pressurise”, incidentally).
His words are yet another example of his insidious incitation to mischief (but that’s just my personal opinion).
Respect.

”If you [Egypt’s government] do not open the Rafah crossing, if you do not help the Palestinian people, you will be considered accomplices in the massacre”
”I call on you to be ready to execute any order,” Nasrallah told the crowds of supporters.
”Some Arab countries had signed peace with Israel are partners to the scheme,”

with all due respect you’re a bit exaggerating. pushing, pressuring...etc doesn’t mean to revolt in the full meaning of revolution. the people can push their government into making some decision, forcing a certain law, this means to change something. it doesn’t mean to change the way of rule, so don’t get panic, it happened in Spain when people wanted their government to withdraw from Iraq, the same thing happened in the UK, Australia, and even the US.
as for my post, I’ve mentioned twice that i dont agree with Nasrallah calling the Egyptian to (force, push...choose the one you like) their government to open the borders, simply because they were going to do it with/or without his statement, this is what matters to me. I hope I wont be ”forced” to clear my ideas for a fourth time.

@H.A. How am I exaggerating? I’m only quoting things I’ve read, without adding comment, and just asking for clarification on what HE meant to say, that’s all....Moreover, is there no way in his language to say push/force/pressure PEACEFULLY? Of course there is, but he chose not to use it. Nasrallah is a very articulate and intelligent man, and if he didn’t use ”peacefully” it’s quite simply because he didn’t want to.
@ Sarah. Now that’s what I call a simple answer to a simple question.
Straight from the horse’s mouth. Can’t get any clearer, and truer, than that, now can you!!
Thnks both!

He could have said ”peacefully” only to avoid such misunderstanding, not because he didnt mean it, and hence we’ll be arguing his intentions which is irrelevant.
as for the quotes of Sarah, I first thank her for this step, second, I wish to clarify that these quotes addressee a very common idea among the arab public who are not satisfied with peace treaties between arab countries and Israel. let me add another thing, Tsipi Livni has stated in the first day of the attacks that she has informed three arab counties about this step,and the common idea spread by the press was that these three are Egypt, Jordan, and KSA. especially that Livni was in Egypt in the day before the day of the strike. Ergo, what Nasrallah said is common, and he is not the first one to say such things.

I’d like to addressee another thing,
for the fourth time, I’m not a member of Hezbollah party, and my argument was not against attacking the statement of Nasrallah as I have declared many times that I’m against it. My argument is, what Nasrallah has called for was destined to happened whether he called out for it or not. people would have announce their disagreement with the Egyptian Government’s reaction, or to be more precise the lack of it. Ergo, I’m just casting a light over the point of condescending millions of people by attaching their reaction to some statement.
there is a phrase in philosophy says, ”men are known in regard of the truth, not truth in regards of men.” in other words, people have clearly announced that it is the duty of the Egyptian Government to open the borders with Gaza even before the strike, this was the heart of their protests, the heart of Nasrallah’s statement, the heart of my post.
note: Hezbollah protesters didnt rock the Egyptian Embassy in Lebanon.
thank you again for sharing your ideas with such moderation.

H.A Aioub,
I just want to say something, who said you were a member of Hezbollah? Actually you’re the only one who keeps mentioning that, and no one definitely’forced’ you to clarify any ideas for a fourth or fifth time.
We’re all just debating and every one is expressing their points of view, no one is forced to do anything!
I appreciate your comments, each and every one, though I might not necessarily agree with them, but that does not mean I don’t understand them or they need constant clarification.

I appreciate your comments, each and every one, though I might not necessarily agree with them, but that does not mean I don’t understand them or they need constant clarification.
Thank you

the subject of the debate demanded that I constantly keep saying that. I had some points on our article that we’ve discussed with good spirit, and others that we have not, Ergo, thats it!
Methods do not interests me quite well, I am more interested in results, and the result (protesting against the Egyptian Government) is the same whether he called for it or not. This is the sum of my argument.
Take Care.

Thanks for the elaborate reply.After your explanation I happened to watch a program on one of our channels.It was a program about Pakistani protesters in many of our cities on this same issue .
The key note speaker in one,was trying to make the point that the hands of the Egyptian government were dripping with the blood of Palestinian . I can see after reading your blog how outrageous and dangerous the statements encouraging the Egyptian people to protest or oppose the decision of their government in keeping borders to Gaza closed state can be for one Egypt- especially when it tied to statements blaming Egypt for the deaths.

But no it’s not an Egyptian idiom!
”Bite me is typically used as an idiomatic expression of discontent or aggravation toward another party” Wikipedia.
Being from France, i would understand that you might not have heard it before if you are not watching American movies.
