Paul Biggar wrote this blog post yesterday (Pasted below) and it has been circulating across IT & tech community at least here in Egypt. Below was my response to him as a comment on his posts on LinkedIn and the blog:

Thank you, Paul, but it's important to condemn Hamas, as everyone should. It's concerning that Hamas fighters entered the area north of Gaza, kidnapping civilians and taking them as hostages. By the way, I am a Muslim and a grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), planning to run for the 2026 elections as the head of the Egyptian engineers.

Some Israelis are not angels, of course. According to international law and UN decrees, Gaza itself is a territory occupied by Israel in 1967. I am an Egyptian who is the son of a military officer who fought against them in 1973 when we won the battle to liberate Sinai land after Israelis occupied it on June 5th, 1967. Israel is the only country in the world with no set borders. One of the founders of Israel once said, 'Our borders end at the point wherever an Israeli soldier can stand'.
You may feel frustrated, unable to think of a way to help, but the good news is: where there's a will, there's a way. As a digital marketing expert, I initiated an online campaign for global peace called Friends of Egypt, USA & World, boasting around 26K YouTube subscribers. My focus is on exposing the true nature of political Islam groups, like the Muslim Brotherhood, who manipulate Quranic texts to further their own agendas—such as claiming that all Christians and Jews are enemies deserving of death:

They disregard crystal clear facts, such as the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) himself urging his close network to seek refuge with the Christian king of Ethiopia to escape the brutality of non-Muslim leaders in Makkah. They overlook that the Quran, in other verses, explicitly states that the majority of Jews and Christians are not enemies of Islam, even if they do not adhere to the Muslim faith. The Quran unequivocally permits Muslims to marry Christians and Jews, and this verse was among almost the last communicated Quran text from God (Allah) to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) before his death.
I humbly ask you to join us in actively helping to prevent the recurrence of the disaster in Gaza. If you, or anyone here, have another suggestion or idea, let's discuss it, as the pain of mothers in both Israel and Palestine should compel us to take action and prevent a repeat of what has been happening since October 7th. If we don't act and work proactively, there's a risk that individuals with destructive motives could lead us into World War III. Paul, you are a brave man, and someone from Egypt is extending their hands to you to proactively make a difference.
