Gamal Abdel Nasser: Revolutionary Leader, Humiliated in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War

Best known for his charisma and pan-Arab populism, Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser, enraptured listeners with his radio broadcasts and inspired enormous pride inside the North African country and well beyond its borders. At the height of his power, during the 1960s, Nasser was known in the West mostly as a regional troublemaker, a gangster of sorts and a dangerous dictator.

Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

Nasser was undoubtably an honest and decent politic, points unfortunates not usual in Arabic countries. Painfully he died too soon. His mandate was an example to follow, most of his ideas remain in the same place.

The book I found most illuminating regarding Nasser's (often psychologized explanations) rule, was Kandil Hazem's Soldiers, spies, statesmen. It tells the tale of a 'double dictator', with Nasser and his coterie of security personnel against Field Marshall Amr and his security coterie. I have come to believe that this rift was primarily responsible for failure's in Egypt's politics that stretch to today.

[@gordonlumbert9861]

Whether or not Egypt and her allies were ready for war at any particular point they all had massive militarizes compared to Israel. The 1948 war was where the Arabs had the greatest advantage as they could freely buy weapons and the Israelis had to buy them clandestinely and smuggle them in.. They had 2 tanks and the air force was equally weak. (There is a picture of the whole IAF in 48). Israels greatest advantage was probably that they had nowhere to run and the Arabs did.

[@fahoodie1852]

Israel outnumbered the Arabs in 1948, almost twice as much in the final stages of the war. The reason Israel was able to defeat the Arabs even when they outnumbered them for example in 1967 and Syria failing to hold the front in 1973 is because we had corruption, nepotism, poor military coordination etc. it’s not always about numbers, Israel’s smaller but more well trained and commanded army was obviously capable to defeat our lager but disorganised and poorly commanded armies

[@draconian8994]

@@fahoodie1852 There is no glory in hostilities particularly when it is pushed to result in wars; then you know the beginning but not the end of the war. Arabs love show of strength but nobody is interested in why the strengths fail. It is better to avoid wars.

[@jasonc0065]

The US was helping Israel. The US military outclasses and bullies everything. We Americans think it's good for us. It's not. It makes us the bullies. The Trump era exposed US imperialism as a liberal agenda. We go forth to bully the world. We are the world race hustlers, stirring up tribal conflict everywhere we go. We even do it at home, and it is called affirmative action, CRT, and Woke. Israel itself complains about its own left wing mafia. Our idiots set it up. Our Amnesty International calls every third world leader a dictator, no matter who is in power. They are calling Ruto and Hichilema dictators, and these are Republicans. If they say that Florida is 1930's Germany with theme parks, they will call Ruto a dictator for sure. Kenya is the Florida of Africa, where Wokeness dies on black soil. Nkrumah tried to overthrow Nasser and probably told some lies about him too. Nkrumah is Lumumba's best friend, and yet Lumumba's family took asylum in Egypt, not Ghana. There must be a reason. Ghana acted like Belgium. Obama assassinated Gaddafi. Connect the dots. The proxy war is US Communists vs Third World Conservatives. FJB.
