    I don’t agree with the Egypt part. It’s a sovereign country and has the right to refuse to give up an entire peninsula of their land.

    Israel is betting on them to open the doors so they can just take Gazan land like they want to. It’s even pressuring Europe for weeks now to pressure Egypt. So there is a plan there and it won’t be in favour of Gazans.

    It’s also a country that has its own shit going on. As soon as they open the border, the world will look away as if they’ve solved something and the Gazans will never have the right to return to their country because there will be no more Gaza.

      No one is asking Egypt to give up land and there are already thousands of Palestinians in Egypt who have been there for decades and Egypt (and Jordan) continue to make the ‘we can’t give them citizenship because then they’ll be unable to return’ bullshit in order to keep them second-class and make them work the most menial jobs. Palestinians are treated like shit in those countries. Stop excusing their behavior as some sort of humane response.

        Maybe. But I’m a second generation living in Europe and my third and fourth generation cousins are still treated like a ‘foreigner’ so that’s where my stance comes from.

        But you make a good point. No one should be treated like shit.
