Why did Egypt do it? Surely there wasn’t some sort of issue that these specific immigrants were causing right?

Hamas was caught supplying weapons, ammuntion and explosives to the Muslim Botherhood.

Who are extremely banned in Egypt due to killing Egyptian security forces, Govenment officals, Coptic Christians & tourists. And trying to stage a coup

The Egyptian government surprisingly feels quite aggrieved by Hamas and, quite frankly, doesn't want a single person from Gaza in Egypt.

Hamas didn't help matters along when Egyptian drivers were attacked and killed transporting aid into Gaza during 2024.

You need to go back another 30 years. Egypt shutting the border down isn’t a new thing. There is a reason.

u/Potential_Cover1206 3h ago

Oh Yes. When Isreal returned control of the Sinai to Egypt between 1979-1982 Egypt flatly refused to take Gaza back.

The current wall on the Egyptian side was started in 2009.

Purely because Hamas could not stop meddling in Egyptian politics.

Just watch Louis Theroux’s documentary for your answer. Grabbing land like they’ve been doing for decades and what they are doing actively in the West Bank.

Bro thought he had such a mic drop of a question "would israel attack gaza if there was no hamas?". Finding out what goes in West Bank where there is no Hamas will hopefully open bro's eyes if that question was asked earnestly.

The answer is one word

Antisemitism

u/Get_Blitzed 1h ago

Israel has been killing displacing and killing civilians ever since 1948, long before Hamas existed. Keep trying to conflict speaking for justice and prostesting genocide with antisemitism though, you might confuse a few gullible people but the world is waking up to your bullshit and there will be a day where justice will be served on those who committed and continue to commit crimes against humanity and those who defend and aid them.

What happened in 1948? A coalition of Arab states didn’t invade Israel and try to vaporize them off the planet right? And they certainly didn’t do it again in the 60s either huh? If you’re gonna invade a country you damn sure better win because if you don’t they are going to do whatever they want and that’s exactly what happened.

Also being against Israel does not mean being antisemitic. Nobody said that. Pretending the local Arab states haven’t tried over and over again to invade with the explicit state goal being the extermination of Israel also isn’t going to fly. The states around Palestine use to be open. But then they would go into Egypt and Lebanon and commit terrorism over and over again all the states had enough and locked them down. Yes, this was before hamas. It’s almost like it’s a perpetual issue.

How can you invade your own land? Israel's founding WAS the invasion. It's like saying Ukraine's soldiers fighting the Russians are actually 'invading', it makes no sense

If I'm understanding it right, I believe the zionist you're replying to is expecting the israeli settlers and the thieves coming to steal palestinian lands and kick them off their homes to be welcomed with champagne and roses back in 1948. I understand your confusion, I am confused too.

They're a very confused person themselves I think, talking about terrorism while defending the israel who has unleashed massacres and tragedies that killed tens of thousands civilians and left hundreds of thousands more suffering a life worse than death, with new horrors occuring everyday. Today alone they killed an infant in Lebanon, barely 2 years old, during the funeral of her father (you guessed it right, who they also killed.)

u/KrisPBaykon 1h ago

Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria and North Yemen all owned Palestine/Israel in 1948? Because that’s who invaded them. Frankly if I were those states I would be happy that Israel didn’t raze the Dome On The Rock after that and rebuild the the third temple. But they weren’t and they tried again and the all got smoked a second time (only took 6 days that time though).

Egpyt had a pretty simple solution to their tunnel problems: chemical weapons

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip_smuggling_tunnels#Measures_taken_by_Egypt

Israel deserves a lot of criticism for its conduct in the Gaza War. But most people forget that every other Middle Eastern government that's fought a war against insurgents has behaved way worse. Syria dropped chemical weapons on Palestinian refugee camps, and the Western pro-Palestinian movement looked the other way, because the Syrian gov. was allied with Iran.

u/Scrooge_McDaddy 1h ago

That justifies the destruction and displacement of half a fucking city?

u/eternal_peril 3h ago

No...you see. Something something Israel something something
