Egyptians open fire on Palestinians
Google News ^ | December 28, 2008 | Press Association

Posted on 12/28/2008 1:37:56 PM PST by SolidWood

Egyptian border guards have opened fire on Palestinians who breached the border to escape Israel's assault on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

An Egyptian security official said there were at least five breaches along the nine-mile border and hundreds of Palestinian residents were pouring in.

At least 300 Egyptian border guards have been rushed to the area to reseal the border, the official added on condition on anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the press.

A resident of the Gaza Strip side of the border, Fida Kishta, said that Egyptian border guards opened fire to drive back the Palestinians.

Reminds me of that scene from “Enemy at my Gates” where the Communist Russians told the young “recruits” headed to the front that these machine guns are to shoot you if you retreat!

“Be careful about “dehumanizing” the Palestinian refugees.”

Is this not a lot like stopping Nazi’s from fleeing Europe in 1945 as they try to get to South America. How does none dehumanize butchers and their supporters?

You wrote:

“Certainly if they were attempting to get out of Gaza to Egypt that would qualify them as “refugees” from Gaza.”

No. Since they were still in Gaza - which has been their home and their only home for 40 years - they are not refugees nor did they leave their one and only homeland - Gaza.

“I think that you are being a bit defensive in your post.”

No. You were being a bit politically correct in yours. How long have you been a liberal? Did you always know you were a liberal? Or was it something you adopted after experimenting with the guys at the frat while in college?

“Certainly your earlier post was indeed “dehumanizing.””

Not at all. Listen, when you are no longer politically correct let me know.

The Egyptians are shooting people who are fleeing from the Israeli forces and the liberals here won’t say a word but we are supposed to pay the bills for people who come across our borders on their own accord. The world has gone mad.

Also, frankly, I have close to zero sympathy for Gazans who overwhelmingly voted for Hamas, than for i.e. average Joes in countries that are ruled by illegitimate tyrannies ala N-Korea, Saddam's Iraq, the Islamic Republic Iran or Afghanistan under the Taliban.

While reading this thread I have come across your post. Are you saying that in the countries you gave examples of, these people actually had a choice on their vote?

Anyone remember this?

Palestinians celebrate attacks on WTC, 9/11/01

Think these people have changed their ways since then? Personally, I don't think so, or their country wouldn't be lobbing thousands of missiles into Israel! What's that Bible verse? "Ye shall reap what you sow"?

I’m guessing that your mother isn’t Jewish. I,too, worked with a very nice palistonian(misspelling on purpose). Nice until he found out I was Jewish.

Did you even read the article?

It was about folks trying to get out of Dodge. There was no indication that the people were anything less than (excuse me, future) refugees.

Send Jimmah instead. He knows how to act like an Arab already and he is one step closer to speaking Arabic thanks to those Rosetta Stone commercials.

Meant to say: I have close to zero sympathy for Gazans (...) unlike for average Joes living under illegitimate tyrannies ala N-Korea, Iran, etc. (...)

"Not at all. Listen, when you are no longer politically correct let me know."

You are not as bright at all as you likely surmise.

I do not mind at all being insulted by one so dim.
