- — Don’t Tempt Fate: The Power of Knocking on Wood to Protect Against Misfortune
- at 4/15/24 9:51amKnocking on wood is a common superstitious practice deeply rooted in Egyptian culture, and many others around the world, holding different meanings. The act of knocking on wood, or wooden objects, is typically used to ward off any sort of ‘bad luck’. When a positive event occurs, Egyptians have superstitiously knocked on wood to repent the envious eye. Some attribute the tradition to ancient Egyptians, as they used to hold the Sycamore tree to special significance, and considered it sacred, connected to the gods and heaven. Ancient Egyptians worshiped the Lady of Sycamore, also known as the Tree Goddess, and believed in her healing and protection powers that came through the tree. It is also thought that the act of knocking on wood could have been transformed from a Christian tradition to an Arab tradition. Christians would touch a wooden cross for blessing and protection, as it was believed to symbolize the magical power of the wooden cross on which Jesus was crucified. The tradition lived on and people started touching any wooden object for blessing, protection and to ward off the evil eye. This practice continued and spread This content is for members only.

- — Refugees Fleeing Gaza to Egypt Would Derail Efforts for a Ceasefire: UN Refugee Chief
- at 4/12/24 1:12pmThe possibility of Gazans crossing into Egypt from the border town of Rafah would render the Israeli-Palestinian conflict unresolvable and present a dilemma for those going into exile, the U.N. refugee director stated on Friday, 12 April. Filippo Grandi, UNHCR High Commissioner for Refugees, declares that we must do everything to prevent such a demographic exodus from Gaza. I can assure you that another refugee crisis from Gaza into Egypt would make the resolution of the Palestinian refugee question as a consequence of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict impossible, Grandi told Reuters at UNHCR headquarters in Geneva. What is Happening at Egypt’s Rafah Crossing? Since October 2023, Israel has urged Palestinians in Rafah to relocate to Egypt. Israeli Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Hecht, speaking to Reuters on October 9, advised Gaza residents to leave via the Rafah crossing. Yet, Egypt has consistently emphasized that the forced displacement of Palestinians is a red line, warning that it would devastate Palestinian communities and disregard their right of return. Since November 1, 2023, Egypt has allowed over 2,200 injured Palestinians to cross through the Rafah border for medical care, and numerous aid trucks have entered Gaza This content is for members only.
