Egypt Blockades Gaza: Where Are the Flotillas?
Gatestone Institute ^ | August 9, 2013 at 5:00 am | Khaled Abu Toameh

Hamas has finally admitted that it is the Egyptians, and not Israel, who have turned the Gaza Strip into a “big prison.” …

Why haven’t the “pro-Palestine” activists been sent to the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing to voice solidarity with the residents of the “big prison”?

The answer is obvious: First, the activists’ main goal is to condemn Israel and hold it solely responsible for the miseries of Palestinians. The activists do not care about the Palestinians’ suffering as much as they are interested in advancing their anti-Israel agenda. They devote most of their energies and efforts to inciting against Israel and rarely have anything good to offer the Palestinians.

Second, the “pro-Palestine” activists know that it would be foolish of them to mess around with the Egyptian army and security forces. The last time foreign nationals tried to stage a peaceful protest on the Egyptian side of the Rafah terminal, the Egyptian authorities did not hesitate to assault and deport many of them from the country.

Even when Israel did ‘blockade’ Gaza, hundreds of Israeli trucks full of supplies poured through the ‘blockade.’ The only thing they want to block are bombs. Mrs Arafat (& many others) remain in luxury in France with the billions of $$$$ the USA and other fools gave for Arafat’s ‘peace.’

The Gaza Strip is one big prison because the Palestinians are murderous, psychotic plague rats who’ll kill Jews first, then go on to everybody else. Their sufferings are their own fault.

If not for Israeli fear of the antisemitic “international community”, Gaza would be a relatively peaceful part of Israel today.
