Egypt Fortifies Border Against Possible Exodus of Palestinians
Breitbart ^ | October 11, 2023 | JOHN HAYWARD

Posted on 10/12/2023 3:14:25 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Egypt, the other country besides Israel that borders Gaza, moved quickly this week to fortify its border and prevent a flood of Palestinians from entering Egyptian territory during Israel’s counteroffensive against Hamas.

The Israeli military suggested on Tuesday that Palestinians who do not wish to be used as human shields by the Hamas terrorists should flee across the Egyptian border. Israeli Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Hecht rescinded that advice later on Tuesday.

“Clarification: The Rafah crossing was open yesterday, but now it’s closed,” Hecht said.

The Rafah crossing was evidently shut down because Israel dropped several bombs near it. The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) said on Tuesday it conducted airstrikes against a tunnel in the vicinity of Rafah used by Palestinian terrorists to smuggle weapons and equipment.

The IDF warned officials in Gaza and Egypt that the strike against the tunnel was coming.

“In recent days, the IDF has been instructing the population inside of the Gaza Strip to distance themselves from designated areas. We emphasize that there is no official call by Israel for residents of the Gaza Strip to exit into Egypt,” the IDF said on Tuesday.

They are “Palestinians”. Vile, murdering savages. Aside from the USA, nobody in their right mind wants them.

Jordan threw them out in the early 70's.

Amazing how trying to kill the royal family and take over gets your hosts all upset.

No arab country wants the Palestinians, they are the white trash of the arab world... They are good for only one thing, riling them up to kill jews and be cannon fodder.. and the entire Arab uses them for that.. but none of them want them.

Those that complain how Palestinians are treated in Israel are ignoramuses, I challenge any of them to actually look how Jordan treats the Palestinians.... They started their crap there at one point, and they have been put in camps and not allowed to leave them ever.... for decades.

The Arabs have no use for the Palestinians, other than to use them as proxy cannon fodder to kill jews, and the Palestinians are so ignorant they don’t see it and happily obligue.

Some Israeli official today said they are free to go to the southern part of Gaza.

I wish America had done the same on our southern border, like FIFTY years ago. :(

Can you believe that these savages aren’t welcome all around the world? *SPIT*

“Egypt don’t want them?”


Apparently not. Egypt was ‘given’ Gaza in 1948 and declined the honor. They, like most Arab nations, want nothing to do with ‘Palestinians’. Jordan, designated the ‘Palestinian’ homeland, kicked them out and I’m sure that Lebanon would if they could.

They have a bad habit of trying to overthrow governments where they reside.

One would think that US Favorite, Jordan should take them all.

They did that once before and the Palis tried to take over their country. Many Jordanians died in the process of removing once and for all.

I hear Iran is beautiful this time of year.

Agreed. Jordan kicked them out in September 1971. They went to Lebanon and in 5 years screwed that country up bad. Egypt wouldnt allow them in to destroy their country. Send them to Jordan and let the younger King Hussain (if he’s still alive) finish what his Dad started.

Egypt has never wanted anything to do with so-called Palestinians, and rightly so.

Yep,The Palis should have been imprisoned for life, or executed, as necessary, for their crimes, but for US intervention, and "Westernizing" Jordan to please the West.

Wouldn’t that create a shark problem? 😂

“One would think that US Favorite, Jordan should take them all.”

Makes sense, since they are actually Jordanians.

Egypt gets nearly all of their income from tourism.
Terrorists tend to drive away the tourists.
This was why they used to have the Tourist Police.
Armed military to protect the tourists.

“The reality is Palestinians are among the most hated ethnic groups in the Middle East but because of political correctness they can’t say it. Most countries there don’t want them.”

Very true.

Egypt is aware of that. They'll ally themselves with the Muslim Brotherhood to try to overthrow the government in Egypt. Sisi isn't stupid. He sees the threat they pose.
