Sid🎨 on Nostr: I had completely forgotten that the Tahrir Square protests in Egypt that kicked off ...
I had completely forgotten that the Tahrir Square protests in Egypt that kicked off the Arab Spring had the slogan "Bread, Freedom and an Arab Palestine."
I heard that at the time in 2011, but I didn't have the context. It didn't make any sense to me, but it was quickly papered over by the Western media, who assured us that Egyptians were protesting for vaguer things, like democracy or a closer relationship with the West
