I am always curious, why does Egypt not want to help Palestinian refugees? Or even allow then to travel through?
Good question. The official position is that they would not be able to go back to gaza once the war ended. And therefore they would be helping israel in displacing the palestinian people of their lands.
Plus, i suspect no one really wants 2M "permanent" refugees. On election season no less.
They can, and they do: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/19/egypt-rafah-crossing-aid-enter-gaza-why-closed-israel-us-egypt?trk=public_post_comment-text
Dont quote me on this, but i think the majority (all) of aid comes through egypt.
Thing is, it "has" to have the supervision of Israel or else they would whine about weapons in trucks.
Because the guy who runs Egypt is a dictator. Guess who appointed him?
Because then in 5 years israel would start attacking and creating "buffer zones" within Egypt until Egypt ceases to exist.
Israel is like the Nazi's in every single way. They want to keep expanding their lebensraum and genocide everyone who isn't of their race.
Deplacing the Palestinians would only worsen the problem because they are not the problem, israel is.
That's an odd claim. When has Israel claimed Egyptian territory as their historical land?

They already had settlers on it.
Also they tried to steal Lebanon but got owned by Hezbollah. So they had to give it back.
Israeli ministers are already saying they want to colonize Lebanon and Jordan. They will never stop.
".....and genocide everyone who isn't of their race..."
What race is that?
