Actually this thread does have to deal with Egypt; you want to talk about how badly the Gazans are being treated, so please explain how one bordering state's refusal to open up the border is not relevant but another state's refusal to do the same thing is. Egypt has the same ability to help the Gazans as Israel does, and unlike Israel, Egypt is not under constant attack from Gaza and thus is much more inclined to treat the Gazans well, but they also refuse to do so.

umm.. idk, one reason may be that ONE of the states is OCCUPYING palistine, while the other isnt.. JUST a wild guess but that may have something to do with it.
and the reason EGYPT is strict with its borders is because of US AID. IF they arent strict with the borders, they get no aid
thats how it works for them.
CAIRO, Dec 27 (IPS) - Last week, both houses of U.S. Congress agreed to withhold 100 million dollars in financial assistance to Egypt following Israeli claims that Egyptian authorities were failing to prevent weapons smuggling to the Gaza Strip. Cairo, for its part, denounced the decision, while local political analysts saw the move as a heavy-handed pressure tactic on the part of Washington's pro-Israel lobby.
"U.S. financial aid to Egypt has always been subject to pressure by the Israeli lobby," Mohamed Abu al-Hadid, political analyst and head of state-owned print house Dar al-Tahrir, which publishes prominent daily al Gomhouriya, told IPS. "The decision violates Egyptian sovereignty -- and dignity -- and requires an unequivocal response."
WHO INFLUENCES SUCH POLICIES OF US AID AND FOREIGN POLICY OF THE MIDDLE EAST??
so on one side, israel occupies palistine, and builds a wall around the pali settlements usually within pali borders and tactfulyl disperses the settlements.
on another side you have US bribing EGYPT to close its borders to PALIS cuz of pressurs from israeli lobby.
inetersting.
