    Due to the massive amounts of undue power the blockade gives Israel over Gazans’ lives, many organizations (including the UN) consider Gaza still under Israeli occupation.

      Gazans used to cross to Israel on a daily basis for work (since October 7th, I don’t see that happening anymore)

      What about Egypt ? What is their role in this “open air prison” ?

        Speaking as an Egyptian, Egypt is mostly doing it for American aid. That said, the Egyptian government (Arab leaders generally are, but Egypt even more so) is a traitor to the Arab and Muslim people, and an accomplice to Israel’s crime against humanity. Ayone involved in the blockade on Egypt’s end (and Israel’s, but doubly so for Egypt’s) out of their own will should be hanged.

          You sound like a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Take your Coptic Christian harassing, LGBTQ-hating, tourist attacking butt out of here. Egypt is doing it because they don’t want Palestinians waging war inside Egypt’s sovereign territory. The Egyptian government is so brutal because the people you support want a freaking Caliphate. Egypt is for Egyptians, not just Arabs and Muslims. Go fly a kite.

            I think I know who Egypt is for more than you. And no, I’m not a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, thanks for asking.
