Biden: “Many people there have been displaced multiple times fleeing the violence to the north, and now they are packed into Rafah, exposed and vulnerable. They need to be protected,”

Josep Borrell, the EU’s foreign policy chief, says, “Where are they going to evacuate these people to? To the moon?”

Duh. It’s not as though there is a shortage of space. Why not Egypt?

Here are the excuses:

HISTORICAL PRECEDENT: Egypt has been keeping an eye on its neighbours like Jordan and Lebanon. They’ve noticed how those countries had to take in loads of Palestinian refugees in the past, and well, none of them got to go back home. It’s like they were all invited to a never-ending house party! Egypt definitely doesn’t want to RSVP to that situation.

ECONOMIC AND SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS: Egypt is basically saying, “Hold up, folks!” They’re worried that if too many Gazans show up, Egypt will have to play host forever. Plus, they’re all like, “Our resources can only stretch so far, and we’ve gotta keep an eye on security, too!”

LEGAL AND HUMANITARIAN CONCERNS: Egypt’s raps, “No way, José!” They’ve made it clear that they’re not up for anyone forcing Palestinians into the Sinai Peninsula. That’s supposedly a big no-no in the international law book, and it’s a major “not cool” for Hamas.

So, Egypt’s kind of taking it slow with opening up the Rafah crossing for fleeing Palestinians. It’s a tricky situation, as they’re trying to find that balance between being egoistic and dealing with a real war. Nobody wants naughty schoolgirls (behind which, hide murderous terrorists) in their playground.

Much better to preserve self-interest and screw the refugees.

Similar to the developing popular political position on Israel in the USA, UK and EU – except Egypt has barely disguised its Jew hate.

That’s it folks: the nub of the non-kosher opinions on the State of Israel – a principal cause why Israel (with a lonely IDF) needs to fight on to the end to DEFEND ITS SECURITY and ensure THE RETURN OF THE HOSTAGES.
