The Egyptian are not idiots ! Like the rest of the "arab nation " ( There is no such a thing as the arab nation, it was onlyh a dream in whatever little brain was left with some arab leaders ) the Egyptian republic does not want any of the palestinian...especially iof they are coming directly from Gaza....The border is the material demonstration of the limit which exist to any concept of "Arab unity " , "Arab nation " and all the rest of the various utopia generated year after year by sick arab politicians. Above all , Egypt does not want the country to be polluted by would be terrorists, and other religious extremists...they have already their hands full with the tragically infamous " muslim brotherhood" , and other criminal organisation spreading hatred and anti-semitism in the land of King Tut

Egypt keeps border closed and not a single beep from the security council of UN,Silence from amnesty International,Quiet from the docters,EU dares not open thier mouths,and the gazans can scream humanertian suffering but Egypt keeps the gates closed. Good for Egypt.Egyptians are not as the cowardly corrupt Israeli rotten leaders. They protect thier country against terrorists.

Israel has a better idea, use live bullets they travel farther than rocks or water.

And the world screams if ISRAEL closes the gates to Gaza???? Where are the Arab brothers of the poor Gazans? Why are they locking them into Gaza and out of Egypt? Israel is plumb crazy. Not a single item should be allowed into Gaza and not a single person allowed out. The Arab world is big enough and wealthy enough to care for their own. It's not our job.

egypt would have a more favorable disposition toward gaza if it weren't for the aggressive and provocative terrorists of hamas to agitate everyone and everything. people of gaza: you asked for hamas, you got hamas. now live with it in silence please.

Let's see if the Egyptians use deadly force against the pali terrorists like they use aagainst 7 year old Dharfur refugees

If the Golan Hts and/or the W. Bk is relinquished to the Palis, look for this to occur repeatedly from those areas. Rafah is a dress rehearsal. Egypt can allow them to exit w/o complications yet won't. Why? It's obvious it wants Israel to take the blame for the so-called siege. But Israel, falls for it..Israel seems to have no backbone, that is until many are killed and wounded in a bulldozer accident like today. In fact, what can Israel do..demolish the home, big deal. Move the parents to Gaza and create more activists? Israel is stuck.

is 100% bs. no one wants them precisely for the reason that they are basically uncultured hate monger animals living on the crumbs of the world community without any incentive to build, to succeed ,to educate and prosper. they are a fragmented society of arabs from arabia without any nationalistic aspiration. the nationalistic aspirations are forced on them by the hate mongers that claim to be their leaders and through terror and using these pali crap get rich and richer while their people get poorer and more miserable. misery loves company.
