Important to note that Israel has signed a deal for natural gas that rightfully belongs to Palestine.

Swiss banks full of Nazi Gold.

What gets me is how the toppling of the democratically elected Morsi government and the installation of el-Sisi isn't written about in the same terms as the Pinochet coup against Allende. They're practically interchangeable historical events.

From a 2015 report on leaked Mossad spy cables...

Huh I didn’t think South Africa was much of a player in intelligence service games after the end of white majority rule. Learn something new everyday.

Was Allende as infamous for making a priority of removing womens´ rights, exchanging them for those of pedophiles?

They are like a pack of dogs

Morsi threatened but stopped short of decriminalising Egypt's practice of female genital mutilation, carried out on almost three-quarters of Egyptian girls, making it clear he would not tackle an issue he called "a family matter".

The new constitution has swept away recognition of women's rights and left the door open to the legalisation of perhaps Egypt's most crippling social issue – underage marriage. Draft legislation that would allow the legal age of marriage to be lowered from 18 to 13 has been drawn up while clerics within the Muslim Brotherhood have indicated that marriage at the age of nine for girls is acceptable.

The girls' bodies are not ready for childbirth and they are not ready for sexual relations which makes their husbands impatient with them.

wtf you want to play whataboutism about? what about the feminism of the documented raping, slaugtering, orphaning, maiming and starving of underagr palestinian women by IDF soliders? And btw, the issue of underage-daughter selling and female genital multilation have both gotten so much worse and gone up since the Israeli-backed military-dictatorship of Eygpt came into power with increased davestating poverty. The same exact female abuses also increased in Sudan areas under the control of UAE/Israel-backed RSF military, so what about your feminism there?

Now we finished playing your game, let's go back to Eygpt military dictatorship enabling aparthied and genocide.

Lol sorry for bringing up that pedo side of your ´African Allende´. Seems to have struck a nerve

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

1- You know how to read? pedophila has increased thanks to Israeli-backed military dictatorship in Egypt, Sudan, and the documented raping of underage palestinians by IDF, in addition to Israrl harboring and protecting all internationally wanted pedophilies. Google everything I mentioned. I will not do your research.

2- You are the one who is obessed about pedophilia. We were talking about how Egypt current governement is enabling aparthied and genocide. You are the one constantly playing whataboutism and chabging the subject to pedophilia not me.

[–] couldhavebeenyou@lemmy.zip -4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah it sure sounds like you did a lot of research on this

And I´m sure your New Allende and his buddies helped the situation by stating the legal age for these kids to be raped should be lowered to 9

mr. couldvebeenyou, how many times have you visited eygpt or sudan in your life prior to 2013 , and when was the last time you visited them?
If you have never left your keyboard, then go talk to actual Egyptions and Sudanese about underage daughter selling and genitial mutilation, and their causes and where they happen because I'm sure the daughters they sell were not even born neither raised under the New Allende. Just google and compare their currency inflations to let that speak alone.

Daughter selling and genital mutilation have gone up with the davestating poverty which have been caused by the Israeli-backed military dictatorship in both of these countries. That's completly on top of losing their governement transparency and freedom of public criticism and protest by everyone and to everything and everyone INCLUDING their first democrarically elected president, and his Islamic party, and every governer and every single law they introduced. It's wrong of you to ignore both the facts and logic to your whataboutism claim which was indeed awful in theory, but people would've been allowed to protest and enrich themselves way much than now to not genital mutilate and sell their daughter which they cannot feed nor educate under the current davestating poverty.

Again, don't change the subject from the facts of oppression and impoverishment, and enabling of aparthied and genocide which their current government is doing today and now.

These gas fields always belonged to Israel! Time to accept the reality that Palestine-Gas fields never existed.

Those traitors are so frustrating

Egypt rolls over again, a weak corrupt authoritarian country like Egypt deserves to be dominated by the strongest democracies 💪.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The weak, corrupt authoritarian government of Egypt deserves to he overthrown and its leadership sent tp prison for life.

[–] glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

Yep and all the middleman that work for it in the Egyptian military as well. They make this possible. Sisi is a military general I heard.
