Roz Rothstein interviewed ICN Vice President Dina Leeds and Arabs for Israel founder Nonie Darwish about anti-Semitism in Egypt for the “Stand With Us” television program







Roz Rothstein interviewed ICN Vice President Dina Leeds and Arabs for Israel founder Nonie Darwish about anti-Semitism in Egypt for the “Stand With Us” television program that will air on JLTV today at 3:30 p.m.  It is a fascinating program filled with the remembrances and perspectives of these two insightful and articulate women, both of whom were born inEgypt and spent their early childhood years there. 

The stark contrast between their families’ experiences in Egypt make it even more remarkable that they share so many views about the Egyptian culture and what is going on there today.  Nonie grew up as a Muslim (she has converted to Christianity) and a child of privilege following the assassination in 1956 of her father, a leader of the Fedayeen movement assigned to Gaza to kill Jews in Israel. Dina’s family were Jews who had made Egypt their home for generations. Her family and all Egyptian Jews were ordered to leave the country following the 1967 war with Israel.
