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