From Mosab Yousef on June 14 via X:
“Hundreds of Pro-Palestine activists from 50 different countries, including Europe, Australia, UK, and the U.S. while on their pilgrimage to Gaza, their beliefs were put to test when they saw a side of the “paradox” they didn’t expect. An Egyptian counter mob with one demand “get out”. A Turkish parliament member, a pilgrim was seen bleeding after getting mobbed.
Egypt, (Most populated Arab country 100 million) is a main force behind Gaza blockade. But most of activists for Palestine are unaware of this fact.
They go on bleating “ceasefire now”, “Free Palestine”, “end the occupation”, “From the river to the sea”, “end the genocide”, “free Gaza”. But never said: “Open Rafah Boarder”!
Had they protested to pressure Egypt to open the border, the collateral damage or what they call “genocide” would have been significantly less. But their movement would have died without a powerful drive.
Hamas religiously sacrificed the population of Gaza under the UN watch yet, not one gathering to discuss removing the Egyptian blockade until the war between combatants is over, leaving hundreds of thousands of people mostly women and children trapped in what could be the most complicated battlefield in our modern history.
Anti Israel protests, human rights organizations, hypocrites, compromised politicians, hate groups, useful idiots, pro cause, feminists, communists, Islamists, LGBT, Hollywood, served Hamas a significant lifeline, lengthened the war and increased the pain of Gaza children but they failed to reach their goal, to make Israel surrender.”
From the movie French Kiss, Meg Ryan’s character:
“It’s a free country ... isn’t it???”
The idiots just learned they are the only ones who think borders and national sovereignty don’t matter.
“... what they wanted was videos and tik tok followers...”
Certainly!! It’s all performance for the media. That is what politics has become. Governance by bimbos who want their 15 minutes of fame, even if they destroy everything else to get it!
Of course the ‘media’ is driving this!
March for Gaza descends into farce as fed-up Egyptians clash with woke mob of activists
Have you seen the map these idiots supposedly were using?
They were heading for 40 years of wandering south of the Sinai…lol
They were possibly being trolled by Israel or total maroons that know as little geography as they do history of Israeli presence in the holy land

I would have waved them on through without hesitation. A pox on all leftist filth.
There's a REASON "Palestinians" are mainly in Gaza and the West bank
Nobody else wants them
Jordan - Sept 1970 (Black September), Lebanon 1975 (Destabilized it and caused the civil war), Kuwait 1990 (Sided with Saddam's invaders and turned on their employers)
Egyptians saying "Oh hell no!"
Idiots are lucky they didn't get their asses beat worse
Public school and many elite private schools, too.
Jeepers. Watching that makes me want to take another shower this morning. The odor is visible.
There are a lot of “idiots” comments on this thread. How about this for “idiots”:
A large group of people from a local church decided this would be a good time to visit the Holy Land (◔_◔). So they did — about three weeks ago.
Whatever day it was that flights out of Israel were cancelled — it was that night they were to fly home. They were stuck and finally made arrangements to fly out of Athens, Greece.
Their two-day bus ride from Israel to Athens took them all through Syria and Turkey. Turkey shares a border with Iran. People are leaving Tehran. Half of the group is in their 80s. (They are supposed to arrive back in TN tonight.)
I can’t imagine what goes through someone’s mind that made them think that this trip, at this point in time, was a good idea. True idiots.
If they are stranded, broke, and hungry long enough, they might learn a lesson from this.
Having travelled the world, I always reminded myself that my rights ended when we crossed the US shoreline. To be more precise, your rights end when you enter the airport.
EC
Indeed. Let them get what they came for.
Good and hard.
