WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000 Egyptian journalist and political activist who agreed to speak with us 00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.000 in Hebrew directly from Tahrir Square. Shalom. 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:14.000 Shalom Guy. Guy: So what is going on behind you there? 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:24.000 Journalist: As you can see, there are masses of people gathering against our regime in Egypt. 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.000 They want to overthrow the Muslim Brotherhood. 00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:31.000 Morsi for us is not just a president. 00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:35.000 He is in the service of the Muslim Brotherhood. 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.000 Guy: But he was elected in democratic elections. 00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:43.000 Journalist: I agree with you that there was a vote and the ballot box had their say. 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.000 But every president, everywhere in the world, 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:53.000 derives his legitimacy from the people. If the nation takes that right away from him, 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.000 He cannot remain in power. 00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.000 We don't want him anywhere. The masses are out in the streets 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:03.000 demanding to over throw him. As far as I'm concerned, and from what I understand, 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.000 This is the epitome of democracy in any country. 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:11.000 Guy: But aren't you concerned the military will abolish the democracy? 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.000 Journalist: I am not afraid, and no Egyptian is afraid 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:19.000 of its military. Our military is one with the nation. 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.000 As our motto states. 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.000 This is what we expect from our military. 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:31.000 To stand with the people, and this is what is happening. 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.000 Guy: And what about the Muslim Brotherhood's response? 00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:39.000 Journalist: I don't think the Muslim Brotherhood is that dense or stupid. 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.000 They know the military will not remain silent, that it will act 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:52.000 with an iron fist against anyone who thinks he can hurt the people. 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.000 We are not Syria and we will never be Syria. 00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:00.000 Guy: I must ask you, aren't you worried about speaking Hebrew in the middle of Tahrir Square? 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.000 Journalist: I am not afraid to speak Hebrew in any place 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.000 in Egypt, where we have people who know Hebrew. 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:14.000 They ask me if I'm Egyptian or not, and I tell them that I am Egyptian 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:18.000 and this is the language I learned and that I am implementing. 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:22.000 I am not afraid at all and it is actually normal here. 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.000 We have many people who speak several languages, and it's cool. 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:31.000 Guy: Very nice. Is there something important for you to tell us Israelis? 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.000 Journalist: Yes, of course. 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:40.000 I see what is going on in Israel. I call, not just on Israelis but every nation, 00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:41.000 00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.000 which is not receiving the treatment it deserves from its government or its president, not to remain silent. 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:52.000 If Bibi and Lapid are not doing their job, get rid of them, replace them with someone 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:58.000 who will do what you want. If they made promises and didn't keep them 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:02.000 Don't stay silent. We were also promised many things 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.000 And they didn't make good, so we are now removing them. 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:11.000 I believe the people will decide what it really wants. 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:12.000 Onwards! 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.000 Guy: Ibhama Abi Saif, thank you very much. 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.000 I hope you will continue to update us. 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:21.000 Journalist: With the help of God. Your welcome. Bye.
