[Islamitisch Verzet]

Hoe zwakker de Arabische wereld, hoe gemakkelijker Israel en het Westen met hun kloten kunnen spelen.

Daarmee dat jij actief het de-Arabiserend regime steunt, je hebt niet liever, yahudi. Een sterk verenigd transnationaal (Arabisch en daarbuiten) Islamitisch front, daar heb je schrik van.


Egypt's nouveaux riches

This new class, enriched by their active selling of their country off to the highest bidders, targeted the Palestinians in order to delegitimize their cause in the eyes of millions of Egyptians who have supported them since before 1948 and who opposed the Sadatist sell-out. This campaign was and is part and parcel of the campaign to de-Arabise Egypt so that it, or its nouveaux riches, could join the anti-Arab bloc of Israel and the United States of which this class is a main beneficiary. Mubarak continued the same policies, though his anti-Palestinian press campaigns would be deployed intermittently on a need-to-defame basis.

The Sadatist and nouveaux riches' campaigns would invent stories about Palestinians having lost their country because they themselves were "sell-outs" and had "sold their country to the Jews". These rumours continue to be widespread in Egyptian society, at all levels, till this very day, sustained as they are by the utter chauvinist hatred engendered by this petty uneducated class, who under Mubarak continued to rob the country clean and impoverish vast sectors of its population, in the process accumulating billions of dollars. The anti-Palestinian campaign was central to the Sadatist project of instituting an anti-Arab chauvinist Egyptian nationalism in place of Egyptian Arab nationalism. The charge that Palestinians sold their country is of course a distracting tactic used by an Egyptian comprador class which, in fact, did sell Egypt to the highest bidders (in addition to Americans and Israelis, Saudis have also been favourite buyers) since the 1970s and is fighting the current transformation of the country in order to be able to sell whatever is left of the country unhindered.
