I have recorded the experience in my memoir of an unusual childhood: SIPPING FROM THE NILE, My Exodus from Egypt. The book and audio are available from Amazon and on Kindle. It shows what happened to those of us who were dispossessed of our roots and our heritage, our possessions, and the close family ties we valued so much, although happily not of our lives or our non-Egyptian passports. website www.jeannaggar.com<br />Jean (Mosseri) Naggar.

Thus to write ""A screening in a public cinema would perhaps have discomfited the Egyptian producer for understandable reasons, so we had it screened in our Center in Tel Aviv, for members only." is misleading, and he certainly is unhappy about this, as it undermines his distribution agreement with his backers.Aimee Kligmanmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12436082862438800644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-15157671275977443482014-01-09T17:01:47.423+00:002014-01-09T17:01:47.423+00:00Je doute fort que ce monsieur qui veut bien se fai...Je doute fort que ce monsieur qui veut bien se faire appelé Anonimus, soit Juif ou bien il n'a pas vécu en Egypte durant ces évenements.<br />Tellement de mensonge pour "excuser" ce que les arabes en général et les egyptiens en particulier on fait durant la guerre du Sinai avec les Juifs, et pas seulement!!!goldenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984711540609715904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-51609910241885200312014-01-09T16:31:23.355+00:002014-01-09T16:31:23.355+00:00To the last Anonymous, I am baffled by your commen...To the last Anonymous, I am baffled by your comment: you may not have been expelled personally, but plenty of others were in the most dramatic way. They were not only British and French nationals. There were Italians, Greeks (who had no quarrel with Egypt) and even Egyptian nationals who were made to leave. bataweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829104245735619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-8026118488760732712014-01-09T14:07:38.343+00:002014-01-09T14:07:38.343+00:00I do not agree to all those criticisms against Egy... I do not agree to all those criticisms against Egypt and the Egyptians. I am an Egyptians, though of Jewish religion, I did not participate in the expulsion of any Egyptian from Egypt, furthermore I was not expulsed from Egypt, nor most of my family, friends, acquaintances or Jews from Egypt. Those who where expulsed from Egypt were only the French nationals and British subjects as a result of their countries attack on our country and perhaps any other who cooperated with the enemy-countries who attacked our home country Egypt. I disagree with the active and aggressive policy of the State of Israel, those pseudo-zionists, political zionists with their own selfish agenda. There are, and should be told the truth, and not the political motivated falsified tales of the propaganda to cover <br />one's evil or negative (to say the least) actions of others, whoever they are (Zionists, Iraelis and any other countries etc...) Suck is, I consider, many also do consider to be the actions of the protagonists of the creation of the state of Israel and its continuing policies. I am Egyptian born and national, I consider myself so even though we had to give-up our nationalities to leave Egypt, but all Egyptians nationals had to do so irrelevant of their religions or other categories. Egyptians did not expulsed us, by the contrary when we decided to leave they inquired why and offered to help us stay, but we had to leave not because of our fellow-egyptians but because outside countries had used their malevolent powers that caused grave consequences for Egypt, its residents and citizens. I care about Egypt, it is bad what it has become, what international politics and those powerful and malevolent countries and parties have done to our country/Egypt by imposing their own wills and interests. <br /> One more things our new countries of residence have not done so good toward many of us, unlike the one who write above about "thanking Nasser because his exodus from Egypt helped him be a millionaire in another country" etc... etc... this comment is non-sense and ways to rationalize the bad consequences of those negative and selfish policies of some that caused harms to others (to us, Jews, all Egyptians and all others).
