Egypt is now supporting the genocide
Unlike before, when they were preventing food aid from crossing the border.
What’s their official reason for doing that? Why does their foreign policy regarding this situation suck so bad in general?
Egypt suffered a US-backed coup in 2013, Egypt is an imperialist puppet just like Israel.
Did something new happen??
Egypt is building a wall to keep Palestinians out.
That said, allowing Israel to forcibly remove the Palestinians is genocide so I don’t know what to think.
Not sure what the correct move for egypt is in this situation. Build a wall and israel blows up all the palestinians, let them through and the imperial core blames you when they die of exposure on the northern end of the sinay peninsula. The only egyptian settlement near the border is sheikh zuweid which is a fraction of the size of rafah and would likely be completely overwhelmed if palestinians were let through, and it looks like its just in the middle of the desert otherwise.
I dont know how feasible it would be to build a refugee city in short notice on the egyptian side of the border, and I have my doubts that any government who could afford it would be willing to fund it.
Looking at it from a realpolitik angle, perhaps egypt has more to gain by letting the palestinians die. Palestinians would likely continue their struggle within egypt if allowed through, but if confined to gaza israel may eventually murder enough of them that organized resistance is no longer possible. In that case, I imagine more military effort will be focused on the destruction of yemen, and because of how reliant the egyptian economy is on suez canal tolls, they would stand to benefit from the destruction of organized houthi resistance and the resumption of trade through the red sea.
The “correct” move is to declare war on Israel
I believe that’s for the hell boys up north to carry out.
i declare war on Israel
I hope people inside Egypt rise up and take this trash gov out
Egypt building a wall disrupts Israel’s attempts at ethnic displacement. How is Egypt cooperating with Israel?
I’m on the fence about this. If they allow food and medical care to the Palestinians then I would be inclined to believe Egyptians are not supporting the genocide.
Disrupting ethnic displacement so they can have ethnic cleansing instead. I’m confused where all of this goodwill towards Egypt is coming from.
I fucking hate white people

You can’t retroactively justify a genocide because the people in the open air concentration camp you pushed them to decided to fight back, you fascist dipshit.
What percentage of your genocide victims are literal children?
