David Harris speaks with acclaimed Egyptian author and liberal activist Dalia Ziada, who has had to flee Egypt amid backlash to her outspoken support for Israel and condemnation of Hamas since October 7th.
Thank you for your words. I am from Israel. Once I asked an Egyptian if it is safe enough for an Israeli to visit Cairo. He answered that Arab Israelis are welcome but not the Jews. I still don't lose hope, I believe one day I will see Cairo too. 😊
Dalia, I’m in awe of you. You are so reasonable, thoughtful, very sweet, but also VERY inspiring. I do not understand why it is so hard for so many other people to just see this situation as it really is, as you have. You give me hope that we will be able to resolve this situation, and even more, rid the world of the unreasonable, blind hatred of the Jewish people and Israel. They are the ONLY race on the face of the earth whose every single member of their race is hated for no reason. Whether we are Christian, Muslim, Catholic, or Jewish, we are all human beings, with mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives or children, with families, relatives, friends. We go work, hopefully help each other. We all just want to live our lives safely and keep our families, our country’s safe. Thank you for your work. I totally support you.
There are, but they are silent in fear. Pray for their strength and courage to speak up. I was told that when you go against Muslim, it is a death sentence.
Dalia is clearly a peace Nobel prize stuff. As an Israeli I consider her bravery, at all levels, equals the bravery shown by our soldiers who fight Hamas at the most complicated and tough military ground ever. Dalia is very intelligent, humane, likeable person, a true light in the much darkness of these days . This talk made my day. Thank you!
The Nobel Prize is given for political reasons and hence an awful terrorist like Arafat can get it but a genuine peace maker like Dalia will not even make a shortlist
Tk you for speaking up for Israel. Your eyes has been opened to light and truth. May there be more Muslims who will have the courage to stand by Israel and see the truth behind all the lies and massacre of Oct 7th.
I didn't know there could be people like Dalia Ziada in this world. And l don't know what to say, except that I am in awe of her goodness, her thought processes, her entire manner of communicating, and especially of her life mission for peace, REAL peace. It is extremely sad, though, that the lies surrounding her have led to exile from Egypt, her home country. This is so dreadful that it does lead to further loss of hope for us, the Jewish people, and also for the Arab world which shows no desire for truth. What will come next? Thank you, David Harris and Dalia Ziada. ❤
So hard to find these kind of enthusiastic people including Mosab and Loay ,they're lovely and brilliant and full of wisdom and knowledge ✨🌟 very clever, crystal clear distinction between good and evil,Stay Safe and Stay Strong fruends, you are very brave and intelligent,May God Of Abraham Issac and Jacob Bless and protect them and their families🕊️💟🙌🌸💐🌿
Excellent interview. For the first time I know the site. Very professional interviewer. The interviewee is lovely, honest and an example of strength. This should be seen everywhere. I am already sending this link to all those I am interested in seeing it.
Finally some sensibility in the form of Dalia Ziada when the human rights space is captured by ISIS/Hamas/communist/dictatorial sympathizers with vested interest completely ignoring the plight of people who suffer far away.
If only govt. leaders had the moral integrity, honest and courage like Dalia. Does anyone know where she immigrated to? I hope she is safe. Many thanks to her from an American-Jewish woman.
In the end she is one who can help. People who are in a place where they desire peace and cooperation between all of us. We are here for it!! God bless and keep her ❤
And yes! We see and we understand that the hatred against Jews and Israel runs deep and is real. We understand that every perspective hels is real to each one. And we know only love is eternal. Only peace is what we are. The mechanism keeping us at war with one another are here for us to see through and transcend. Look at those who do. Each in their own way. Really look and then look inside. Are we tired of war? Really tired? Ready to be here as peace?
Your courage, Dalia, shows us all that you're a true Patriot of Peace! SO disappointed in Egypt and Jordan. You will be on the right side of History. Hopefully there will be recognition of Israel and a lasting peace for the region in my lifetime, but then I'm a bit older than you. I pray it's realized and yours. I support your work and, no doubt, others do as well.
May your voice be heard all over the world and open the eyes of those blinded by lies. May the Almighty God continue to bless and protect you and lead your advocacy for peace to success!
Watching this intelligent, witty and brave woman It's like breathing fresh air in this world. Its so great that people like her doesn't accept and follow the hate indoctrination and teaching that happens in the muslin countries.

Be strong and stand firm in what you are doing in the face of evil. Excellent interview we need more like you with.good concencè.
Dalia, you are an example not only to Arabsa dn Egyptians, , but to many , including political leaders in the western world who are not giving Israel the support it deserves and consequently not allowing the peope of Gaza to be free from a tyrannical regime. Thank you too DAvid for promoting this interview and for the pertinent and sensitive questions
Dalia siada and mosab yousef is the same aspect of.. Telling the truth. I salute you miss dalia siada.may Our Almighthy God protect you wherever you go & whatever you do. God bless you and your whole family in Egypt
Stay strong and safe, Dalia.BLESSING and support, Darling. God bless you and keep you optimistic. We need more women like you. Prayers and Shalom from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤❤❤
She’s incredible. I can’t express with words how in awe and inspired I am by this incredible brave beautiful kind woman. You are a hero and role model and I wish to have millions more people to hear your kindness and courage and integrity and I will do everything I can to pass along your message and protect you and thank you for being such an inspiration to so many people who believe in love and peace and compassion and coexistence and truth and facts and peace around the world.
God bless Dalia and keep her safe please God. She is for the Truth. Let the Angels take her under their wings. I hope that she can return to her country again when it's safe for her to return. 🙏🙏🙏❤
Thank you Dalia for your integrity. Egypt is a beautiful country, I had the honor of knowing it a few years ago and it is very unfortunate that you have to go into exile for protection. I sincerely hope that the Arab and Muslim world embraces democratic values and fundamentalisms decrease. Also in Israel and throughout the globe, there is no extremism that serves us as a society for anything other than destruction.
Dalia.. you are one amazing woman... seeker of truth and coexistence ... may you be safe and continued strength of spirit in pursuit of this cause... your support of Israel is unique and genuine! G- d bless you!!
I want to apologise for the harsh words I wrote in the comment section under the first video of Dalia I watched. I was suspicious and distrustful towards her position, had a hard time to believe in her sincerity. now I think I was wrong and I’m sorry for what I wrote under the influence of emotions, in a moment of despair. I don’t know if Dalia reads the comments and if she read that particular comment or will read this one, but in case she does, I want her to know that I regret my previous comment and that she has my utmost respect and appreciation. although… I still think she is a bit too naive regarding the future… :) but I’ll be only happy to admit my mistake. I wish I’d be wrong.
Wow God bless Dalia. As a Kenyan a neighbor of Egypt, I wish Dalia Gods greatest future and safety that comes from above. Defending Israel is defending Gods purpose. May God of all comfort encourage Israel
She is magnificent women!!🙏♥️ I’m with you!! Stay safe for God sake! We need angel everywhere!🙏♥️ We love you! Dear Dalia!🙏♥️ You touch my heart deeply! ♥️🙏
So knowledgeable. Representing a new generation. On par with Narges Mohammad in Iran. Brave women who recognize that they will be punished for pushing for change for women and for democracy and for peace. May they persevere. We hear you and we stand with you. I hope you are receiving this energy we are sending.
Yes Dalia u're telling the truth as i remember of what pres.of Egypt,saying Gazan must not leave Gaza.he doesn't even open the border for Palestinians, he's a double standard.watching from London England.
Appreciate you Daliah very much for being open minded and fair. I hope many Muslim countries' leaders and public could see and hear you, so that prejudice for Muslim worldwide will be corrected. Thannk you Dalia! KEEP UP YOUR GOOD WORKS!
I wish he would have asked her why the Egyptian government would treat her that way. It doesn’t make sense, since she’s speaking out against radical extremists and Islamicists supported by Iran and other Shia groups. Unless it was her local individual police who might hold extremist views, rather than the Egyptian government overall. It doesn’t add up. Unless they told her that they can’t effectively protect her due to the pervasive anti-Jewish racism of the population. Something doesn’t add up.
What an amazingly brave and courageous woman! I am reminded of a famous quote by the philosopher, Edmund Burke when he articulated his famous missive....."the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing." Thank you, Dalia. May you continue to enjoy the love and protection of Almighty God in all your endeavors. Blessings.
Much if not most of Hamas weapons and missiles came from Egypt with the help of the Egyptians.

Psalm 121:5-8 The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” Our prayers are with you and your family. God Bless You.
This courageous lady is just amazing, and I'm saddened by her facing pressure to leave Egypt, much like Jewish Egyptians faced decades earlier. My prayers that God be with her and be safe from any harm.
Much respect admire and gratitude as always 🙏. I abide by all your retoric, although not as loud 📢 or vocal or brave as you are. The day your country 🇪🇬 acknowleges you with open arms, is the day it will rise as a respectful non-racial integral nation 🇪🇬.
Thank you Dalla for speaking the truth We Iranian people love Egyptian. We will never forget our best friend President Anwar El Sadat true human. Pray for your safety 🙏
Dahlia truly brave and excellent woman who should be an example of whole Muslim country. I'm praying for your safety. God who created heaven and earth will protect you and no any people who intended to harm you will succeed🙏🙏
