Comments on: Egyptian Collusion With Israel’s Siege of Gaza Sickens Me http://www.kabobfest.com/2009/07/egyptian-collusion-with-israels-siege-of-gaza-sickens-me.html The irreverent, activist, often-inappropriate Arab-American (and others) blog.

Why is it not called the Egyptian siege of Gaza? Why? Because all arabs are lying scum and all they are interested in is lying about Israel. Israel should give nothing to the Gaza scum but rockets and morters, it's what the vicious punks deserve. But if hamass' arab brothers want to provide for their needs, go for it. They don't so they can point at Gaza and blame Israel for what they themselves are doing. It's such a bald lie, only an arab could tell it over and over and be believed.

Egyp'ts fun but way over-rated in terms of being 'um el arab' or mother of all arabs. It's the largest populated country and I think Lebanon is a sizable competitor when it comes to 'pan-arab' music. For tv shows, Egyptians haven't made a good show in a while....Syria pretty much dominates that now. Agreed. Egyp'ts fun but way over-rated in terms of being 'um el arab' or mother of all arabs.

They won on an anti-corruption platform (Israel was hardly mentioned). Israel knew this, but decided to imprison the Gazans anyway and the US and EU decided to withdraw aid - so much for democracy!

When Israel withdrew from Gaza, there was an election. Hamas, with a vow to eliminate the "Zionist Entity" was elected to govern. The people chose a government that vowed to destroy its neighbor. The PEOPLE of Gaza endorsed that policy. Did they not lock their own jail cell? Recognizing Israel and renouncing violence is their key to getting out of 'jail'. Members of the governments of Gaza and the 'west bank' Hamas and the PA, have professed that truce is a step in the direction of reclaiming their view of Palestine. As long as there is a truce there is a state of war. Could you trust someone that shot at you and offered only a truce rather than peace?

I actually just participated in a demonstration Tuesday near the State House in Boston with fellow activists from several other groups who have members on the Viva Palestina convoy. At the time of our demonstration, which included a press conference, Egypt was still blocking their access through Rafah. I'm elated that the convoy got through, even if half of it was held behind at Alexandria, as this is still the largest aid package to Gaza to come out of the United States, ever. I agree with you and Yaman that we can not let up the pressure on Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, et. al. when it comes to doing their part in working towards a just solution to the greater Israel-Palestine conflict. The fact that so many of these nations have large Palestinian refugee populations that they are not caring for, at all, raises the need for even more action against these regimes. EDIT: On a separate note, Pharaoh Mubarak's brutal repression and persecution of al-Ikhwan is something I feel very strongly about, and I'm glad you brought it up. Political Islam is so misunderstood in the West and there aren't many better examples of U.S. hypocrisy in anti-democratic practices than the way in which we've been propping up Mubarak for nearly 30 years while he snuffs out the most popular democratic movement in Egypt.
