"No it is not Egypts problem
why should they stick their necks out, they have done enough already and it has proven a thankless task, but do keep up the "quick look over" attempts at distraction. "

=============================

this is not the language of someone deeply concerned about Palestinians' welfare.

it's such a burden for Egypt, supposedly sticking their necks out to allow UN convoys filled with food through the Rafah crossing.....is that what we'd generally call it if ANY country in the world decided not to allow for UN convoys to pass through their territory?

how is this a burden..... sticking their necks out?

no outrage by the UN or NGO's for this one....but non-stop indignation for Israel. Why? At least Israel has an excuse. They're being barraged by rockets and mortars...even at the border crossings. Egypt doesn't have any such security concern. So where's the outrage at Egypt?

If Germany and France were being targeted by Luxembourg (same situation as Gaza/Israel) and Germany/France decided to cut off UN trucks, who on earth would apologize for Belgium and say it would be "sticking their necks out" to allow UN trucks on through to Luxembourg....especially if Belgium is neutral or somewhat friendly with Luxembourg and knew that Luxembourg would never attack Belgium at the border crossings, or anywhere for that matter? Belgium would be a no-brainer....and no one would let Luxembourg rot "collectively"....say that Germany/France are 100% responsible and that they are deliberately trying to starve the people of Luxembourg.

Let's face it AZ....you got busted for your phony concern for Palestinians and exposed for making all this a political issue at the expense of Palestinian pawns you could give a shit about.....so long as Israel (the focus of your blind animosity) is always to blame. You clearly want Israel to pay more than you want Palestinians to live decently.

Just like phony UN sympathy....or Amnesty International, Human Rights watch....if they cared so much, they'd have found a way LONG ago to bypass Israel and go through Egypt to feed those "starving" Palestinians. They;d have LAMBASTED Egypt just as much as Israel for this:
