Sissi lives up to his name.

The funniest thing about him by the way is that unlike Nasser or even Sadat, Sissi never saw any combat.

He was a pencil pusher in the army.

Egypt today is a lion led by a sheep. If it so wished, it could crush Israel in a protracted war. But it instead chooses the path of collaboration.

The corrupt military establishment in Egypt must be pulled out, roots and all. These so-called generals should be stripped naked, paraded through the streets, and hanged upside down from lampposts to be jeered, mocked and stoned by their people. Men like Sissi should have their eyes plucked out for their lack of vision, their tongues cut out for their lies, their balls snipped off for their lack of courage, and a stake driven through their hearts for their lack of humanity.

What sin did we do to be beset by such useless leaders?

I am reminded of the story of Radwan, the Seljuq Atabeg of Aleppo, who in his cowardice before the Crusaders, mounted a great golden cross on the main Mosque of Aleppo.

I pray to God, send us leaders worthy of our loyalty. Give us a champion that we may follow him to War against the Zionists.

Thanks Ahnaf for this revealing analysis.

I'm wondering if I could crosspost this to a Substack I'm involved with: Nevermore Media.

We are an anarchist collective. Our general stance is that we are anti-war. But we are sympathetic with the plight of the Palestinians. I think this piece would give our readers a clearer idea of what is going on in Gaza and the Middle East.

I've already put it to the editorial team and we're still discussing it. If all goes well, I'd like to publish it today with a brief introduction, since it contains time-sensitive info.

I see you are a Bengali Muslim. If there's anything more you want to tell me about yourself, please do so.

Good Day,

You are most welcome to do so!

Many of my Readers persuaded me to lift the 'paywall' on this piece a few days ago (given the nature of the info) & I agreed. This means I have no issue if you guys gain benefit from Cross-posting & discussing my work, go right ahead!

As for myself... let's just say (like Simplicius & others who write on these sorts of topics) there are reasons why I cannot reveal my identity.

That said, you can rest assured that whatever gets published on this Stack will always have copious amounts of support, links, sources, etc.

Hope that Helps!

I do feel a bit unqualified to comment on this matter, being an Anglo Saxon male. It's hard for me to understand why the whole Muslim or Arab world isn't standing with the victims of this genocide being carried out by the most vile regime on the planet. Why is it everything seems to boil down to money? Some things are way above anyone's or any countries financial position. This genocide is exactly one of things that is way above any financial considerations. It's plain horrific in my opinion. But like I stated at the beginning I don't believe I qualify as having an opinion relevant to all the different people & countries involved. I know I despise my own government & couldn't disagree with their actions more than I do. But what do I know about Egypt, Jordan & Lebanon. These countries border the country of Palestine, these countries have a neighbour committing genocide against Palestinians. Yet there's a country much poorer financially, that has many of its people doing 10x more to support the victims of this genocide. Than all the other Arab countries put together. How is it the Houthi can do what they're doing but many others are so reluctant to do as much? What the Houthi are doing is simple but very effective. When will the Arab nations realise they have all the power? The supporting countries of the mass murderers cannot function without the energy that the Arab nations produce. It's a simple fact, it's a straight forward point. Surely a small demonstration of this fact would be sufficient to put an end to this barbaric genocide. Why can't the middle eastern nations for 24 or 48 hours refuse to supply energy to the sponsors of death & destruction? Maybe I just don't understand the situation with me not being a party to what is happening. I can be angry, disgusted & vocal but that's the limits to my participation. Maybe someone can explain to me some of the things I don't understand. I do know many are frustrated & angry. Sadly the Palestinians are the ones paying the ultimate price for everything. It has to stop.

The short answer is: History.

Many of these Regimes are Fakes, installed by MI6 Post-Sykes-Picot & then cultivated by the CIA & friends. Also, there are many so called 'leaders' in the Muslim world today whose B***s are held firmly by the IMF, World Bank, etc.... in this case it is less about the money from the loans, & more a fact that because they are 'fakes' to begin with, should the people go through economic hardship & turmoil, such 'leaders' would easily be dealt with.

This fear of the people, coupled with the CIA's deep roots, coupled with their own decades cultivated impotence is such that they are completely Worse than useless. Which is why the 'Zero state solution' (a la the borders being wiped out) is obvious:

None of these 'states' & leaders are legitimate. The Muslims need to understand this & do 'what needs to be done' with regard to these false boundaries.

Thanks very much for your post: it’s informative. You also, importantly, remind us that the Arab ‘leaders’ put in place after Sykes-Pichot are just puppets. ان شاة اللة the noble Palestinian people will prevail. As you say in your article, the zionist scum will not give up their occupation of Palestine without a big and very bloody fight. So many ordinary people, in Britain and in other Western countries, support the Palestinians and are disgusted both by the behaviour of the zionist occupiers and by their collaborationist governments and politicians who think that they can continue supporting the zionist entity. I am hopeful that a change really is coming. The sacrifice of the Palestinians and the barbarism of the evil zionist occupiers of Palestine are just too much for people to bear. And we are just the ones who are just watching this from a distance! People of the world really won’t stand for this any longer. Once again, ان شاة اللة the evil zionists will be stopped. They all deserve to be sent to Hell, very quickly: that is where they will be most at home.

One thing seems clear. Hamas leaders, wherever they are living their lives of luxury (London, Dubai), don't appear to care much about the Palestinians. Neither do the Arab states. Seems nobody wants them. Just an observation.

The leadership in Qatar & elsewhere are there as Diplomats & Mediators.

The leadership in Lebanon & elsewhere are there as Military attaches.

The former are men in their 50s+ ... basically not 'frontline fighting capable.'

It's less 'they live luxuriously' & more 'OK, I have fought in skirmishes & fights for the past 20+ years... what else can I now do for the cause given my lack of ability to fight at the front?'

Palestinian Resistance factions (all 12 of them, not just Hamas) have both military & diplomatic wings. That the latter 'live in nice houses' is not really relevant for the reasons noted earlier.

Just to give you a quick example:

Haniyeh & everyone who works under him who 'live luxuriously in Qatar' are basically there after having fought at the front lines of the Second Intifada & the 2008 War against 'Israel.' They didn't just 'leave Palestine to get posh houses in Qatar.' They simply got told 'Ok, here's some funds, go to Qatar & set up a diplomatic corps there... because your fighting days are now over.'
