Why Condemning Egypt and Absolving France?
Al-Masry Al-Youm, May 24, 2016
This contradiction and duplicity makes you upset. Human reaction toward death changes according to the dead and even the manifestations of global solidarity vary from one incident to another. I thought I exaggerated in my judgment until I found some people of conscience in the West who feel the same. One of those is Will George, who wrote in The Independent newspaper about Brussels attacks in March, saying that there is a clear racist narrative, we appreciate the lives of Europeans white people more than those of the brown-skinned who live outside Europe.
They deal with us as if terrorism that hits our country is normal, but it becomes extraordinary if its fire touched them, are we the cause of that? Or it is the idea of the other whom they do not treat the same as they treat themselves. This is not a racist talk nor a generalization, because we see other flowing manifestations of humanity, which we do not see in our country and we commend them for that, but we are talking about the general feeling that we all feel towards these events.
On the other side, one feels extremely surprised and distressed by those who live among us and live on conversations about the blatant conspiracy they interpret everything with before clear facts prevail, when the site of CNN mockingly publish the statement of an Egyptian strategic expert explaining that the Egyptian plane was downed and destroyed by an electromagnetic weapon pulse.
