because egypt sucks ass and is a borderline failed state
Would a failed state spend all their money on an octagon and the world’s largest flagpole?
Borderline?
I feel like I’m gonna to lose my mind
You just keep on pushing the Palestines over the borderline.
(Borderline)
Sisi is pretty chummy with Washington, isn’t he?
Oddly, he’s not as well liked as most dictators.
The Egyptian military dictatorship is a tentative US and Israeli ally, the Egyptian bourgeois aren’t interested in advancing the cause of the Palestinians and their western backers enjoy significant influence over them
But that tidy little arrangement has reached its limit and the Egyptian working class is about to explode
P sure isntreal hit it with an airstrike yesterday
The condition for Israel pulling out of the border was that they would decide what gets in or out. When Egypt yesterday wanted to provide fuel and supplies, Israel threatened an airstrike.
I’ve also wondered this. Egypt isn’t dropping bombs but they’re just as complicit in the blockade as Israel. It feels like it’s never even mentioned that Gaza and Egypt share a border.
Because it’s not true. Israel decides what comes in and out, otherwise they threaten either airstrikes or to reinvade the border region. The one thing Israel doesn’t object to is to allow all Gazans to leave, but that’s because they want Gaza to repopulate so they can seize it.
Goddamn
Egypt closed it when Hamas seized control of Gaza because they didn’t want Iranian influence coming into the country.
