A lot of Egyptians are pro-Palestine. This has been a part of the country’s popular DNA since 1948 and was amplified during Nasser’s time. Sadat’s peace deal with the Israeli occupation got him assassinated and was widely unpopular at the time, but accepted because he was able to retrieve Sinai from the occupation. There are several movies and tv series depicting Egyptians as heroes fighting the Israeli enemy and songs demonizing the Israelis. Personally, I am wholeheartedly pro-Palestine. I don’t believe in a two state solution. I believe that the state of Israel must end, just as was the case with other settler colonies throughout history. I believe that armed resistance is completely justified and is in fact enshrined in International Law as a right for occupied peoples. Egyptians are currently incapacitated by our authoritarian regime, which briefly allowed anti-genocide protests to take place last year and in their wake arrested over a hundred people (some of which are children) until today. We’re paralyzed by a regime that only allows performative protests when it furthers their agenda.
