I do not blame Egypt for it`s concern.

The treaty with Israel allows it a tiny fraction of the forces necessary to close the border. The Israeli blockade of Gaza leaves it no room to argue anything aside from submission to the Israeli government.

Egypt is between the proverbial "rock and a hard place."

Israel insists upon starving Gaza into submission and at any time Hamas wishes, Gaza can burst upon Egypt in numbers which are irresistible in moral and militant content.

Israel, under the control of men devoid of any sense of morality, an any concept of reality; driven only by their sense of self benefit and political preservation, does not admit to any need to deal fairly with those Arab nations which have recognized it`s right to exist.

The government of Israel is like the Knebbish Sampson, ready to bring the house down upon it, for the satisfaction of being extremely right.
