ITN Exclusive: Interview with President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt (1957)

On 28 July 1957, ITN's Robin Day interviewed President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt at his home in Cairo. The interview took place on 28 July 1957 and was broadcast after the News at Ten on 1 August 1957. The interview was a coup for ITN and Robin Day, especially given that Egypt and Britain were still technically at war over the Suez Crisis at the time.
During the interview, Day asked Nasser about Egypt's relations with Britain, communism and nationalism in the Arab world, Egypt's relations with the Soviet Union, relations with Israel and the issue of Palestine, and the current situation regarding the Suez Canal. The cameraman was Cyril Page and the sound recordist Frank MacNally.

[@manuelmanzanero5057]

​@@jdb47gamesThe current disaster has not been caused by his policies. It has been caused by those who since the 1950s have tried to annul or reverse his policies throughout the Arab world. That is to say: Saudi Arabia and the Gulf petro-monarchies (who have provided the preachers and the money) and Uncle Sam (who made the international expansion of Wahhabism the key of their foreign policy in the Middle East).

Well,

[@jdb47games]

'Egypt and Britain were still technically at war over the Suez Crisis at the time'....No. The only countries in that affair that were technically at war with each other, both during and after the conflict, were Egypt and Israel. Britain has not technically been at war with anyone since 1945.

[@wagdywilliam1869]

This man was more educated and smarter than sadat and his retinue. His charismatic had influenced every body has listened to him. He has left an empty vast positioned place,but the venom of vicious malice, mean antipathy, stew and rancorous feelings have finished his life on the earth. That's the world today. Regretfully. Envy is the main cause of hatred and killing and we see that nowadays.

[@HoggRidduh]

🕋 *_What-A-DISGRACE!!_* 🕋 It will *_NEVER_* be possible to come to a Truthful Understanding much less a Truthful Resolution for the Jewish vs Muslim conflict because it is a Religious/Family conflict that goes all the way back to 1,900 BC, when Father Abraham kicked Ismael out (Genesis 21:9-14) for threatening Isaac. Hell, even Secular people can not Resolve their issues Peacefully. But, one thing that sticks out to me is the *_DISGRACEFUL_* fact that the Arab/Turkish Muslims illegally invaded and occupied that land from 638 AD to 1917 AD, knowing full well it was the Ancestral Homeland of the Jews (their spiritual cousins) and to this very day refuses to let the Jews live in Peace in their 4,000 year old Ancestral Homeland.

[@wilsonfisk6626]

Ismael never threatened Isaac. He mocked Isaac. Sarah demanded that Ismael and Hagar be sent away. Abraham obliged. Also, take note that Arabs aren't exclusively Muslim. Also, take note that ancient Israel was a wicked and ungodly nation, no different than its neighbors.

[@HoggRidduh]

🕋 *_@wilsonfisk6626_* 🕋 Thank you!! But, mothers and fathers know their own children, wouldn't you agree? All throughout the Bible and History the Arabs have been nothing but an antagonistic pain in the Children of Israel's ass!! Even Esau wanted to kill Jacob and would have if Jacob's mother Rebecca hadn't help him run away. So yes, Blessed Father Abraham did indeed save Isaac's life by casting out the rotten bastard Ishmael. Arabs do not have to be exclusively Muslim, but since they did start the Trans-African Slave Trade, which led to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, which led to my people ending up Slaves here in America for the past 400 years, I'd say that would qualify my Hate for Islam and the people who pulled it out of their ass 1,400 years ago, as being well earned!!! What a disgraceful people!!! Is there anything redeemable about them at all? Before they Hijacked and stole their cousins Religion and turned into sh!t, what good were they? What exactly were they known for besides being Pagan, Degenerate, Self Destructive Warriors and Slavers? In that region of the World, everyone had an Empire of sorts but them!! Why? Useless bastards all of them, just like their father Ishmael.

Your Myth of two people doesn't mean reality must be the same. Power is all you have. Truth is very different and difficult for many. Maybe you too can't stay with truth.
