Hamas: Egypt destroying Gaza smuggling tunnels by flooding them

Condemning Israel for the blockade of Gaza does not in the least inhibit condemnation of anyone who cooperates in this - whether Egypt, the USA or whoever. Where on earth did you get that impression?

to read the numerous comments regularly posted on this subject and forgetting «the second door»!!!

Having read all the comments here (what made MOSHEH think I had not?), I am quite aware that Egypt controls part of the border of Gaza. If it is not clear already, it seems to me that Egypt, like any other participant, deserves condemnation for keeping this border closed. Puzzled that this was not clear already, and without arrogant pronouncements about what others should or should not do. Despite the obvious temptation.

Gaza tunnels is a black market. It means Egypt can't really benefit from the economical trade with Gaza.At the same time all the terror groups which involved in smuggling hold population on each side of the boarder in direct economical dependence and constant threat from the smugglers

Are a direct result of Israeli embargo and Mubarak's policy of raprochement with Israel.

But if you live in one of Muslim controlled No go zones,you won't know about sentiments of German people.

The idea of peoples being liked or disliked is fundamentally racist (or ethnicist if you don't like the dubious idea of "race"). And using the supposed dislikes of the people of Germany as an argument is not convincing, especially given the history of such "dislikes".

Perhaps talknic could point out where in the Israel/Egypt Peace Treaty this is mentioned - I could not find it : http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Peace%20Process/Guide%20to%20the%20Peace%20Process/Israel-Egypt%20Peace%20Treaty And the 2005 crossings agreement includes such matters as allowing exports from Gaza, so it is hard to claim that it is a live agreement. In any case, even if it were required under the agreements, that does not explain the sudden interest in enforcing this from the Egyptian side.

My guess is he probably asked Egypt for military involvement in Syria to save Iranian and Hezbollah as* badly beaten by rebels.Egyptian response? They shut down tunnels!Time to whine about starving Gaza,Mustafa.
