Yes, #Nasser was not just opposed to #Israel, he was ecstatic too.

See the hashtag #EcstasyAndAmnesia in which I summarized a very well researched essay by #ShanyMor on the situation in the #MiddleEast.

That essay is scholarly and somewhat long, but there is a link to the archived version of the full original essay in the thread itself.

This is also as good a time as any to highlight the excellent in-depth essay by #ShanyMor titled “Ecstasy and Amnesia in the #Gaza Strip”

[Paywall-free archive ➡️ https://archive.ph/G5rAX#selection-769.417-769.630]

“What is unusual about the #Palestinian cause starts from the observation that many of those other nations built states on parts of historic homelands out of the ruins of collapsed multi-national, multi-linguistic, multi-confessional empires, and the #Palestinians have not”

⬇️

This Israel-sympathetic reading of the Israel/Palestine conflict (that writes Palestinians as victims of larger forces than themselves that are decidedly not Israel) is worth a careful read.
