I came across Allig's blog & it was one of the most interesting blogs that I have read maybe that's because she is talking about my country & also because I felt a negative power in between her words & I would like to clarify some points;
1. I left Egypt on the 23rd of June but before leaving I got the chance to meet Allig, I also knew that she was a Jewish & I wasn't the only one that knew that, I can say that a big percentage of AIESEC Egypt knew that she was a Jewish & I honestly didn't have any problem with her, she seemed like a nice person.
2. I find it difficult for me to understand why she only focus on the negative points, Did the whole 2 months traineeships were just about torturing her because she is a Jew? Didn't she have any good experiences?
also noticed that she is giving herself a right of sticking to her opinion & the data that she has & criticizing other people for giving themselves the same right, for example about the war of 73 she has the correct information while the assumptions that the Egyptians make are just bullshit . I also have a comment on the 73 war too if we lost at 73 as she says why did they ever give us Sinai back even at 79 why didn't they keep it until now?
3. Also I think we should take care of our language , it's not a nice world to be said that "Israel kicked Egypt's ass" Even if it's true & she is sure about it.
4.She also said that there she has never met an Israelin person that hate Arab people, I don't think that assumption will stand strongly with the fact that the Israelian army is having a war with Palestine, Is it logical to say that an army is having a war with another country while in the meantime they really like each other very much?
5. She is also generalizing a lot of issues, hearing one story from one person doesn't mean that it's true neither that it's common for example that Muslims boys story that they make Christian girls convert by force, I think this is an unrealistic story I lived in Egypt for 20 years & I grew up in a Christian school & I have a lot of close Christian friends & especially in Egypt if a Christian girl converted to be Muslim than her family denies her forever. Do you think that Christian girls are that naive & Muslim boys just keep making tactics on how to convince the Christian girl to give up all her family & friend for him & another point that a lot of Muslims family doesn't like that their boy to get married to a Christian girl, for me I don't think it's even logical goal.
6. For homosexuality rights in Egypt, Egypt is a Muslim country & in the Islam Gays & lesbians are not recognized so it's logical for the gov't to forbid the existence of such an activity, my point is that even in the united states a lot of Christian churches doesn't give the lesbians & gays their full rights until now, they still can't marry in most of the parts in the united states. Each country is different from the other & that's the whole aim of Aiesec experience is to make us accept each others differences without criticizing in a humiliating way.
Finally I want to add that I have a clear distinction between Israel & the Judaism religion. I have no problem with Allig I just had some points that I needed to clarify so that the person that read her blog can also listen to the other side & make the decision for him or herself.
