As anyone who looks at a map knows, Gaza also borders Egypt. <BR/><BR/>Egypt fully recognizes the existence of Arab Palestine and therefore has normal trade relations with Gaza. Indeed, Egypt is within the rights of their treaty with Israel to INSIST on normal commercial trade along Egypt's borders. <BR/><BR/>There is NOTHING stopping normal commercial trade between Egypt and Gaza. The Israelis are not in their right to prevent normal commercial trade between the two.<BR/> <BR/>Thus, in order for Gaza to be "cut off", Egypt must also be participating in the blockade. Strange then that Egypt is never mentioned as participating in Gaza's "endless" misery. <BR/> <BR/>Either Egypt is a full participant in the cutoff of commercial trade to Gaza or there is no cutoff of normal trade and humanitarian supplies at all. The anti-Semites who demonize Israel routinely avoid this because it completely refutes their accusations against Israel.There is NO Santa Claushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456842829804624048noreply@blogger.com
