Anwar Sadat Square in Haifa
Tuesday, December 22, 2009
I just read now about the planned naming of a square in Haifa after Anwar Sadat. I think this is a nice gesture on Israel's part. I'm not sure if all Israelis are fine with this happening, but I still think that's a peaceful move on their part. I wonder if Egypt will ever have a square named after Menachem Begin in any of its cities. I doubt it's gonna happen.
I personally like Sadat. I didn't live in his time, but from what I've read, heard, and seen about him, I do respect his courage as the first president in the region to sign a peace agreement with Israel.

true I wasnt alive in his time either but I heard he was a strong president and hmm haifa? wow she is a good singer..
You know, I have a lot of respect for his earlier self, but I think towards the end of his life, he was being bribed or something, because he just had a total change of heart.
Still I wonder if there ever would be a Menachem Begin street in Egypt?
I love Egypt so reading about it in your blog is great keep blogging.
I reached this blog by accident, but I found that has a very interesting information. Good job. A greeting.
Sadat sold out his country and the Palestinian cause for American paychecks against the will of his people... Was he really such a great Egyptian?
This is a really good gesture. as simple as it may seem, there is sincerity for friendly ties. More power to you always.
I just came across your blog and it's very interesting and informative.
I am now watching the very enormous change and violence in Cairo. President Mubarak is choosing civil war over his people's welfare. The young people of Egypt are willing to risk their lives to reject authoritarianism.
Stunning, really stunning!! Who is behind the violence?
May the almighty help us all!!
Are you for real? It was heart warming to read your post.
From a peaceful Israeli.
