If we care about human rights we should be stopping the bombings. People keep treating this like an earthquake or a hurricane or something.
Is this the same Egypt who vocally supported Hamas for the last 16 years? Maybe they can take 1M.refugees too.
It’s so funny. Egypt also has a blockade in place on Gaza. Imagine them trying to have the moral high ground on literally anyone lmao
Well that’s the the point. They don’t want to take Palestinian refugees because they’ve attacked Egypt and caused various problems.
The point they are making is “we don’t want them, and neither do you, so don’t try and take the moral of high ground”
Israel has tried to give Gaza ti Egypt. They won’t take it.
Seems like the checkpoint has been more open after Sisi’s coup.
Or maybe Europe could pressure Israel to stop bombing civilians and carrying out ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
Refugees are a financial and societal strain on any country taking them. That is not to say that no one should take in refugees at all. We as humans should take care of other people running away from death. At the same time I can definitely see why a developing country like Egypt isn’t willing to take any refugees due to the immense implications that comes with.
Having said that, what I find very interesting as a European is that we, and our allies are poruing money and weapons into Israel, weapons which they use to carpet bomb and level Gaza to the ground, leaving over a MILLION people without homes in an already empoverished country where 70% of the population are refugees. Why aren’t we as Europeans saying anything to our “allies” over the pond pouring weapons into Israel? At the end of the day, if Israel continues with this campaign of ethnic cleansing these people will have to run somewhere, and some of them will end up here.

That’s the thing, over the years. Taking 2 million refugees at once is asking for them to die. Not gonna defend Egypt’s behavior in post-1948 Gaza, but right now it’s another story. There’s just no way to take in that many people, not to mention that if they enter Hamas attacks will come from Sinai, causing retaliation from Israel in Sinai and you just have another war between Egypt and Israel.
I wish the cowardly aliens would come back and finish us off like they tried to in 1908
They say they’re quoting the financial times. But I can’t find this article, or this quote on the financial times

Does anyone have a link to the original source?
As a Turk, I find them right. If you attack Syria, you shouldn’t be surprised when the Syrians come knocking at your door. If you bomb Palestine, you still shouldn’t be upset. This is a natural phenomenon. It’s a matter of action and reaction.
Unfortunately the case of Syria applies to Turkey as well. We should have been impartial from the very beginning. However, Erdoğan, the leader of the Ummah, wanted to intervene, as usual.
By that logic most Syrians would be knocking on Russia’s door…
US too. But why would US or Russia think about it while there is open border, welfare countries in EU? I’m pretty sure these both would prefer a non-stable, right wing managed EU.
We could exchange them for a few million other refugees from your continent.
So Egypt’s position is that the people in Gaza are subhumans who don’t deserve any rights?
They believe in the Palestinians right not to be the victims of a genocide.
Not quite sure how you reached that conclusion from the article.
should probably let a few more trucks in then
That’s on Israel. Egypt has been demanding to let aid in Gaza for a while, but the crossing can’t be opened without Israeli agreement.
You can touch the moon with that reach.
