It is understandable that Zionists don’t care about Gaza’s population. They are giving collective punishment to them for daring to elect a government which it does not like.
But why does Egypt feel Zionist pain? Gaza shares border with Egypt. But Egypt has placed exactly the same blockade as the terrorist regime on Gaza population.
Gaza people have no issues with Egypt. The reasons Egypt is supporting Zionists in this economic blockage of Gazans is to appease Amreekans, and also their fear of Ikhwan.
After the killings of that flotilla passengers by Zionists, Egypt has temporarily allowed some goods to pass through Gaza. But these goods still are very basic supplies just enough to prevent Gazans from starvation. They still are not allowing building material, which Gaza needs for rebuilding after Izraelis unleashed its last war on these people.
Egypt did not open its border due to the sufferings of Gazans, but only to appease its population.
I hope Husni Mubarak’s government, another dictatorship supported by Amreeki democracy, comes down soon.
Egypt partially opened its border with the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, briefly suspending its participation with Israel’s blockade of the impoverished Palestinian territory.
…
More than 100 Palestinians were allowed through the Rafah crossing into Egypt Wednesday and several truckloads of goods were sent into Gaza. But Egypt restricts the types of goods allowed into Gaza and only Palestinians with special permits are allowed to cross – mostly students and those seeking medical treatment.
In the past, Egypt has cracked down hard on protests calling for an open border with Gaza. But Israel’s killing of nine activists during the Monday raid stoked a new fury across the Muslim world and left Egypt in a difficult position. A partial opening at Rafah was what the regime had to do to keep the ire from overflowing, said many Egyptians.
…
Rafah is mainly used as a crossing for people, not goods, but** Egypt has permitted some aid, mostly medical supplies, into the territory. It has not allowed the building supplies Gaza needs to rebuild after Israel’s offensive last year**.
…
Egypt’s position has not only provoked the ire of its citizens, but has provided an opportunity for rival Arab states to criticize the regime. Opening the border now will keep countries like Qatar and Syria from accusing Egypt of siding with Israel, says Mr. Gad.
