He is a native Egyptian from the tribes of Al Arish.His testimony is very important because not only he is witness to what happened in 1967 and the occupation years afterwards , but he also was a victim of the IDF war crimes for many year.
Sheikh Mahmoud El-Sawurka , the most famous Egyptian prisoner in the Israeli prison , who spent 22 years in the Israeli prisons witnessing all horrors and crimes that took place against the Arab political prisoners . Even his body became a map for the physical torture and abuse he saw on the hands of the Israeli forces.
Regarding the POWs massacres in Al Arish , the old Sheikh fragile sheikh still remembers the burial places of the Egyptian Soldiers remains , where the great locals of Al Arish buried our soldiers ; after all those years.
He also shared terrible memories about the massacres that took place in Al Arish
Yossi Sarid is a leftist Israeli who used to be a Knesset member a former minister and long time member in the Merertez-Yachad leftist party in Israel. Mr Sarid said in interview with Egyptian Daily Al Ahram last year 2007 that the Israeli army executed 250 unarmed Egyptian soldiers at the end of the 1967 war describing it as a war crime. Despite he did not see the controversial documentary that opened a big wound for Egyptians yet he said that he was aware that that the Israeli troops carried away out war crimes against Arab Soldiers in that War.
He may believe that it would be hard after 40 years to punish them but he was sure that history would not let them go.
Well for sure History won’t let them go with all the war crimes that they have done.
On the 4th of June From 41 Years ago ,the Egyptian soldiers and officers were in Sinai waiting for a battle they did not know when it would happen , some of them had some confidence that we would win , others did not know whether we would win or lose.
On the 4th of June 1967 all the Egyptian Soldiers and officers did not have an idea of what was going to happen the next day , they did not know that the hill doors would be open and they would witness and be part in one of the most worst military defeat in the modern history.
They also did not know or imagine for one second that they would be victims of a terrible enemy that did not know any laws or morals.
Oh boy we are in the sad June with its terrible memories regarding our slayed POWs and Civilians in the desert Sinai and here we are with this new scandal , which I am not surprised at all to know about.
Thank Goodness that people now speak and confess
Please check this confession for an American Soldier regarding what the U.S army does with the Iraqi and Afghani civilians dead bodies .
There should be an international investigation about these crimes.These are war crimes by all measures
Al Jazeera International aired a special documentary “A Nation in Waiting” for the occasion of President Mubarak’s 80th birthday, this documentary is about his life and a quick critical look to Egypt under his rule for the last 27 years. It is one hour documentary, in You Tube it is divided in to four parts , in the first part which deals with the early life of Mubarak and also a quick to Egypt under Nasser’s rule there is a part concerning the six days war “which is a turning point in Mubarak’s military career”; this part includes a footage for Egyptian POWs
Here is the Clip , it is in the middle
I just want to add something , if you want to comment on this documentary based on its main content which is the life of President Mubarak , well be my guest in my main blog
Please watch this video Carefully , I found it in Youtube, this video which is made by an Egyptian shows you video shots from 1973 Yom Kippur war , it shows you the surrender of an IDF Battalion in Port Tawfik in the Suez Canal.
I want you to notice how the Egyptian army treated the injured , the POWs and those who were killed in action from the IDF. This video proves the lies of the Israelis that the Egyptian army deliberately killed their POWs and injured.
Also I would like you to see how the bodies of those who were Killed in action delivered to the Israeli side with all respect according to the international laws and treaty.
I also would like to hint that till now the Israelis search in the Delta near Ismailia for the bodies of their pilots and the Government gives all the facilities still now no one cares for 1967 and 1956 POWs
I do not know what to say except I am sorry that the website is currently facing some strange problems you may have encoutered it lately.Since I upgraded to the New wordpress 2.5 I began to face a strange problem, the sections of 1956 and 1967 are no longer there and they were replaced by 404 Error page despite the fact they are already there. I am trying to fix the problem and I am sorry for any inconvenience
The USS Liberty is from one of the enigmas in the six days war , it may be related to our case here and it may not. The theories about reason behind the Israeli attack on the warship did not stop till now
Beside being a possible indirect witness to the mass murder operations of Egyptian POWs in Al Arish , USS Liberty was intended to be a pawn in a bigger chess game , a bigger conspiracy between the United administration at that time and Israel.
In fact it was based upon an older plan the United States administration or rather the old hawks had put during the Bay of the Pigs and Cuban Missile crisis era,the same plan which resurfaced again among the 9/11 conspiracy theories that says the United States administration would send military units “without the knowledge of the people nor the military elements” to some place and sabotage them accusing their enemies of its destruction to the level that would give it the excuse in front of the American public and international community to go to where against these enemies.
Yesterday Egypt celebrated its national day for Mother , the mother day ,that day which the minister of social solidarity decided to rename it to become “The Family day” ,well it will be forever the “Mother day”.
Anyhow I did not write anything regarding that day yesterday because I was so tired but I think I should write something now , I will not write like the same old composition topics we used to take as home works in the school whether in English or Arabic for example Write about your mother , the importance of the mother , the mother in religion ..etc
All of us adore our mothers , no question here
But I will speak about Mothers whom I should remind you with on this occasion.
