youth back and now

in August, Magdy ElGalad wrote in Almasry Alyoum newspaper an article series about national danger which is "youth of egypt refuse to defend the country if any war with Israel happens"
article 1
article 2
article 3
article 4
article 5

after reading the articles ofcourse some will agree and others will disagree and both parts have a very convincing reasons to backup their opinions.
let us gave color blue to the agree, and color green to the disagree

the blue team says: corruption is killing the future, who have everything are 5%, the rest 95% are very poor or at least semi poor, so let who take all pay for what they took and defend the country in war

the green team says: it's our homeland after all, and war will not hit one group and spare the other

thinking of all this, let us take a look on the Nassr TV show, in the first couple of episods, we see the kid Nassr who protests the english occupation

well, it wasn't only Nassr who did it
it was the culture back then, people were into politics from the moment they can distinguish right from wrong
I remember that my father had a mark in his forehead, and once i asked about it
he answered me with 2 words " من بنادق الرش فى المظاهرات"
ok, he dealt with it as it was nothing, he used to tell me stories about him, family, history and lot of things
but the demonstrations part was so brief, because for him, it was a normal thing to do at this time, "lot of my friends were in the demonstrations, different political parties"

so let us analys this: when egypt was occupied by a foreign army, the PEOPLE were politically educated enough to demonstrate and express their opinions
but when egypt is free country, PEOPLE aren't politically well educated to express themselves, and more they hate the country and are willing to watch Israelis take it over
N.B: politically educated is a term used by the prime minister before, explaining why the goverments interfer in the election

conclusion: corruption is always there, people are not the same. Egyptians are overwelmed with problems (bread, inflation, real estate, ... ) to think about politics
