On the 5th of March 2008 the Administrative court in Cairo issued a
historical Verdict; according to it the Egyptian Foreign has to investigate the allegations that the IDF had killed Egyptian POWs in the wars of 1956 and 1967The court ordered the ministry to prepare a list with the names and numbers of the POWs killed by the IDF.The importance of that rule is that it is an official obligation on the Foreign ministry ,it should do it. They should open an immediate inquiry about this important file.This court order comes as the end of the long , very long Suit case filed against the State filed by Ex-Pows , eye witnesses and POWs families . The representative lawyer who filed the Suit is Wahid El-Oksori , the head of Egyptian Arab socialist Party and a veteran officer.This is very important court order , it does not recognize the crimes but it orders the Foreign ministry to investigate the allegations ,it opens the door officially ,still I doubt that the Foreign ministry will obey the court’s order and it will not be the first time , or the first ministry or governmental authority that will ignore a court’s order. By the way about the list with names and numbers of the POWs , they can be easily done with the records of the reported missing officers and Soldiers from 1956 and 1967 from the Egyptian army archives. I just want to add something , I am sorry for the lack of updates lately.
At last I did it and I translated the Rush Shaked Documentary script
from Arabic to English so all the people will understand what was said in the controversial Israeli documentary. I translated from the origin Arabic script I found in my Cruel World blog.It is very important because according to it that is the Second Israeli confession of committing crimes against the Egyptian POWs in 1967 after the veterans confessions of committing war crimes in 1956 against our POWs from Militaries and civilians. I am sorry if there were mistakes in the Hebrew names but you must know that all that delay was to check from the names and to write it correctly ,I tried as possible to check from the names several times and some of them from those who appeared in the documentary turned to be from the important officers in the IDF as you will know The documentary and what was said in it are the solid proof against the claims of the director of the same director of the documentary who lied and said that the Egyptians were not mentioned in the documentary !! Well ha can say anything especially when the documentary was never shown again , also it is a solid proof against the claims of the Shaked battalion veterans who denied that they had killed any Egyptian pows during 1967 You can find the script in English here please spread the news Again if you find any mistakes in the Hebrew names please tell me and I will correct them
Next Thursday the 20th of September in Cairo ,there will be very important lecture and a book discussion related to the case of the Egyptian POWs
The book is “The People and the war” which was written by 1967 and 1973
veteran Colonel Osama El-Sadek whose testimony about what had happened from crimes against the Egyptian army by the IDF is considered one of the most important testimonies from what it contained from details and incidents
Here are the details of the lecture from time and place :

- End Time:Saturday, October 20, 2007 at 11:00pm

Thanks to our dear friend O2A I was able at last to find Al-Jazeera’s very important documentary “The Way to Atlit” , before there was “Rush Shaked” there was “The Way to Atlit” , the “Way to Atlit” was a special episode from the Al-Jazeera’s famous TV Show “Top secret” which is presented by “Youssry Fouad”
This special episode is very important as it includes Israeli testimonies from historians and veteran officers too from inside Israel , this is beside the Egyptian testimonies from veterans of 1956 and 1967 wars
It is very rare episode and it was hard to find , in fact it is miracle to find it now
You can find it here in the the film section
Please spread the news as much you can

The Armenians celebrate the Armenian Genocide remembrance day on the 24th of April ever year
The British celebrate their remembrance day on the 11th of November every year
The Jews celebrate the Yom HaShoah on the 19th of April every year
And We Must celebrate our POWs who were killed in 1956 and in 1967 on the 5th of June Every year

I don’t believe the red cross and I don’t care what they say because I have got my people’s testimonies and they can’t be liars , my people for the great people of Sinai ,from Al-Arish who buried the POWs by their hands and know the place of mass graves till our day
My people from the POWs who survived ,whether those who managed to escape or those who survived the hell of Atlit
If they don’t believe my people I don’t care
They got the Israeli confessions of General Biro in 1956 stating clearly as sun what he did from war crimes against not military but also Egyptian civilians
They can prove if they want , but they don’t same like the Egyptian regime
This is an invitation for all Egyptians inside and outside to make the 5th of June every year as the Egyptian Remembrance Day just like the British Remembrance Day to remember our POWs who died . Let’s turn our defeat day in to a day to remember those who were killed in one of the modern history worst genocides.
Let’s go on this day with our children and in our hands an original Egyptian Red Rose that drunk from the water of the Nile and blossomed in the soil of Egypt to put on the memorial of the unknown soldier memorial in Medinat Nasr and in every soldier memorial in every Governate in Egypt
Let’s put in our clothes a poppy lapel pin just like the British do , Let’s wear it for a week from the 5th of June to the 10th of June as a tribute of
respect to those Men who were killed away from their beloved one but not away from their home
Unfortunately I missed watching this session of the Egyptian assembly on air yesterday , now I guess it was edited to remove all what happened in it .Yesterday Foreign minister “Ahmed El-Gait” attended the meeting with the assembly members to discuss the updates of the POWs case and to discuss his statement about it , yet it didn’t go easy at all , it turned in to some kind of war of the world between the foreign minister and the MPs to become a historical session as the for the first time a foreign minister in Egypt would face such attack in the assembly.
The MPs accused the minister of ignoring the case where as the minister defended his position explaining the difficulty of the case as we can’t go to the international criminal court because it doesn’t look in cases that took place before the year 2002 , fact that is mentioned in the law section
I added today a new Egyptian Military testimony not from a POW but more from a survivor
You can check it here
It is the longest testimony and it is one of the best example of how it was in Sinai in June 1967 and it is the 16th in that section
I am sorry if there is any spelling or grammar mistake in the translation , I still got more testimonies 1995 to be added ,not to mention the photos and videos ,please pardon if I appeared lazy ,I am not.
Of course you noticed that suddenly things are getting quiet , well the best thing that there are others who promised not to forget at least I am one of them.
Officials are speaking in a strange way like they never knew that mass murders happened in six days war ,I mean every vateran in 1967 can tell you two or three stories that confirms the existance of the mass murders
