Marc Corbac has recently interviewed a person who lives in Egypt part-time. They have chosen to remain anonymous. Here’s what they said;
- In Egypt, has the government or a major news station tried to switch opinions of people?
“As I am not living in Egypt I do not have an exact answer but I do fly [there] every year frequently and currently have family [there] so based of what I know[,] no[,] I [would] say it depends on the news station[,] some will just state what’s happening[,] others will would state their [own opinion] and tell the viewers [how horrible it is in Israel and Gaza].” - In Egypt, do the majority of people support Israel or Gaza?
“I live around 6th of October City[.] From what [my] family [has] heard and from the media[,] I would say more people support Gaza, [there] are so many protests over [there] and all [of] my [family and] friends in Egypt, Lebanon and Syria have claimed they all support Gaza and so does their family[,] and I think it’s because most [Arabs] are really educated about the situation. My dad educated me about this long before the war.”
For those who don’t know, 6th of October City is a city on the outskirts of Cairo, about 1 hour’s drive from Cairo International Airport. - What is your personal opinion and why?
“From my personal opinion[,] I stand with the people [of] Gaza[.] I feel horrible for those out [there]. [The] reason why is because[,] to be fair[,] they don’t have an army and Israel is basically controlling them now[.] [Before] you judge I just want to claim I do not support the Hamas at all none of my family does at all. The people in Gaza are suffering[. Their] hospitals have been bombed[. The] main hospital in Gaza was bombed by the entrance[(???). Legit,] orphanages have been bombed[.] I [would’ve] thought the Jews would have been the last people to do this after the holocaust.” - What was the opinion of the general public in your area before Oct 7th?
“Before October 7th[,] again[,] because[,] I was educated about it[,] I already supported Gaza but I personally believe that more people supported Gaza after realising what’s going on[,] but I think all the Israelis or anyone that supports them kind of stuck to their opinion.”
