I really didn't. Firstly, I liked Nasser. I have just written an article about this now, 45 years since his death. I loved Nasser. Loved is perhaps an exaggeration - I liked him. Why did I like him? For several reasons. I met him during the war. I've always said that we met up close, but we were not introduced properly. Why? I told earlier about the story of Hill 105 when we ran over the Egyptians in the trenches. Nasser was the commander there, he was a major. Because it was night, it is absolutely obvious that we were as near to each other as we are now, only it was at night. When I was wounded at Tel al-Manshiyya, the outpost that I served at, its commander was Gamal Abdel Nasser. So all through the war we were somehow close to each other. When Nasser came to power, I thought – and there was good reason to think this – that this was a great opportunity to make peace: a new generation, a new generation of Arabs, very national, free of the past. And I had a very good reason to think there was a chance. Vd7q1DG6pw4 |
