Cairo24 reports that Dr. Alaa Abdel-Hadi, head of the Egyptian Writers Union, stressed the union's firm position rejecting normalization with Israel, warning of the danger of this entity penetrating Arab culture.
What exactly does that mean? How can Israel "penetrate Arab culture?"
Perhaps we can get a hint of what this means from the steps being taken to expel three members of the union for the heinous crime of "normalization" with the "Zionist entity."
Alaa Al-Aswany, a prominent Egyptian writer, gave an interview to an Israeli radio station.
Youssef Ziedan, a scholar and writer of over 50 books, had said that he would like to visit Israel and lecture there.
Mona Prince, a lecturer in English literature at Suez University, had a photo taken with Israel's ambassador to Egypt.
All of these are bizarrely seen as threats to Arab culture.
If mere speaking to Israelis is a danger to Arab culture, then it sounds like Arab culture is not very strong.
