“They stood with us in the black hours”, this very much sums the Egyptian mentality you stand with me I stand with you

Which is very true; Mama Ruzz stood with Egypt in decolonization era, the 'Fr33 W0rld' pr0paganda where 1/3 of World were under Great British Empire till 1973, where 1 Egyptian tank took 20x Izrealis under the SAM umbrella. US had chance to make the Eisenhower stand with UN resolution, except it did not that time.

He preserved his country and his people, defeated them, and brought them to the brink of safety. رحم الله السادات كان قائدا عظيما وافضل من حكم مصر كان قارئا ومثقفا ومطلعا حافظ على بلاده وعلى شعبه وانتصر لهم ووصل بهم الى حافة الامان

When you lose war you maybe occupied. Israel occupied the territories in a defensive war

[@Iosef426]

In 1957, Great Nasser requested Israel to come clean to International Laws, 1947 UN resolution (actual footage on British media & Associated Press). Yet in 1967, Israel started the war by attacking her neighbors air forces. Jimmy Carter simply put it: «The bottom line is this: Peace will come to the Middle East only when the Israeli government is willing to comply with international law»

[@Iosef426]

In 1957, Great Nasser requested the implementation of 1947 UN resolution & respect of International Law. (Footage available on American AP, British NTV & elsewhere) In 1967, 6 neighboring states did not initiate any attack, yet they were attacked and they had to act in defense. Jimmy Carter simply put it: “The bottom line is this: Peace will come to the Middle East only when the is real government is willing to comply with International Law” I would highly recommend to fact check your information and cross-validate your sources.

[@JohnsonMuunde]

Egypt is an African country. Hence technically Egyptians are Africans majority being of Muslim religion. Majority of Arabs are of Muslim faith, but Muslim is not synonymous with Arabs. Like the Iranians who inspite of majority being muslims are not Arabs, so are Egyptians who are Africans with majority being of the Muslim faith. I believe Sadat was knowledgeable enough not include Egyptians when he talked of the Arab countries.....

[@Nudnik1]

1978 Camp David peace accords Egypt was offered Gaza back but refused and chose Sinai desert instead even though Gaza was part of Egypt and half of Gaza Palestinians are Egyptian. If someone starts a war they lose land and people and can't cry victims.. Simple fact . Egypt rejected Gaza back. England gave Hashimite Arabs Jordon after WW1 stole Occupied Ottoman Turkish lands who stole Occupied Greek lands.. Nonsense

[@nisrmasry2134]

The Sinai peninsula was Egyptian land since the first ancient Egyptian kings. Sadat didn't choose the Sinai peninsula instead ! This statement is wrong The main target was retrieving the Sinai peninsula back. Nothing to do with Gaza

[@Nudnik1]

@@nisrmasry2134 Sadat rejected Gaza. That was my point..... Egypt lost 1973 war it started and lost all territorial lands. Israel could have occupied all of Egypt, Jordon, Syria, Lebanon. Israel was forced to take Gaza from 1978 to 2005. Egypt seals southern Gaza border after 1978.. Jordon seals East border with West Bank. Facts verify.

[@amer9208]

It's intriguing how some label Sadat as a traitor, yet unlike the Palestinians, he grasped the harsh reality he faced. The notion of 'from the river to the sea' lacks practicality. Arabs sacrificing their children and those of their perceived enemies for land won't lead to progress. Consequently, in 2024, the situation remains chaotic. At what juncture does the Holy Land retain its sanctity amidst this ongoing bloodshed?

[@eca3101]

“Perceived enemy” brother in Christ do you see what the Israelis are doing in Gaza? Perceived?? Were you born yesterday?

[@TheBINIBALL]

It’s actually quite understandable why some Arabs would see Sadat as a traitor if you watch this interview. He stated that all Arab lands that were occupied after 1967 must be returned to their rightful Arab owners, calling it a matter of religion and honor etc. At the time of his assassination, only Sinai had been returned. Now I understand that many things in the region changed after 1971 but still he said all this and got Sinai back without any guarantee for a Palestinian state or anything else done for the other lands occupied after the 6 day war. If one was a Pan Arabist, I could definitely see why they’d feel betrayed by him.

Concerning the Palestinians, it’s not Egypt’s responsibility to take care of them…. President of Egypt admitted he wants no Palestinian refugees in his country….. Even 50 years later in 2024….

Johnson did not give the order of attack on Egypt., he was unaware and was asleep at the time….

[@plstne48]

It was Israel that created the refugee problem. In times of war, people have a right to flee their homes, and they have a right to return. It's supreme arrogance to dispossess people from their homes and claim other nations are responsible for taking care of the problem.

What a war seeking "president". This "president" talks all this peace & love ishh.. while in his mind he plans to open a cowardly war in less than 2 years. After which that war he and his faild country lost. Had it not for the evil soviets, israel army was advancing towards the depth of egypt, and this president could lose alot more than he lost in 1967 six days war. But he cried for the soviet, and the soviet started their rituals of threating (p00tin style🤷‍♂️). The israeli army which encircled all the peasent egypt army. Spared on thier lives and withdraw.
