Why did control of the border turn into Egypt refuses to have a completely open border? We've already established that Israel controls what goes in and out of Egypts border, as you need permission from Israel to enter Gaza through Rafah. I'll paste the wiki sentence in case you missed it and leave this discussion there's no point in saying anything else. "Under a 2007 agreement between Egypt and Israel, Egypt controls the crossing but imports through the Rafah crossing require Israeli approval."

Every overture of peace from Israel has contained poisoned pills. Lasting peace cannot be made in this manner, see Treaty of Versailles. Everyone except Israel has now accepted the 1967 borders, even Hamas. The two state solution is impossible unless Israel gives up what it has taken in the West Bank, just look at the pockmarks on a map. Did you really bring up the assassination that the current right wing government in Israel called for publicly and don't think there's a problem with Israels leadership?

I'm afraid to say that I missed the latest Hasbara episodes so I guess you won't respond.



Egypt determines it's own borders. Nobody is forcing Egypt to signs deals with Israel. Egypt does what it wants because Egypt is a sovereign state. The comment you're replying to has explained this very clearly and patiently.

The sad thing is the parent got flagged and you're the one breaking the HN guidelines.


The question was if Israel can control how much food can enter Gaza no? You said that they have a border with Egypt, as if Israel does not control what goes in and out there and they do not have an effective blockade. It clearly does not matter if Egypt allows them to do this or not.

In response to someone that basically said "say something nice about Israel or I wont talk to you".
