Did you hear the news ?? Did you see it ?? This is history , it never happened before.
The Palestinians in Gaza blew the borders between Egyptian Rafah and Gaza and thousands are crossing the borders right now with cars from the sector.
According to the news Palestinian Militants blew the borders in the dune , the explosions sounds were heard in Rafah . By the way Hamas denied any reasonability for the breaking in , already Khaled Mashal in Damascus said that the decision and the plan were not organized by Hamas , they were public decision , they did not and do not order anyone to blow or to head to Egypt
An estimated number of 200,0000 Palestinians have crossed the borders .
The Egyptian security could not do anything , on the contrary the reports are saying that they are treating them in a very nice way , letting the cars pass ,giving them help !! Already the governor of North Sinai which Rafah follows opened the city facilities and declared an emergency status alert
well do not be surprise because it turned that they are following the President's orders , this just came from AP few minutes away:
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak says he ordered his troops to allow Palestinians to cross from the Gaza Strip because the Palestinians were starving.
Israel is mad and made an objection as few Egypt has hand in this , I mean does she !!?? They were Palestinian militants who blew it , not the Egyptian security forces and what the Israelis want from us !!?? to open our fire on our brothers and sisters !!
Israel is punishing Gaza and its people again by cutting off the power !!?? What ever
By the way just before the Egyptian Nazis sorry hardcore Nationalists jump in to the wagon and open their fire on the Palestinians as if they were the invaders you must know that most of the Palestinians now who are and were crossing the borders came to buy supplies from all kinds , trucks with tons of food stocks , medical supplies and oil are being bought , yes they are buying it , despite I read that the Egyptians are giving them for free .
Already those who come to stay are those who got families ,also those who want their families from women and children to be safe
Here are the images as fresh as I can from Getty agency by photographer Abid Katib .
By the way Mubarak and his security have to accept this because things in Cairo are getting very ugly , people are so angry to the limit of the explosion. He can't listen any more to the Israelis or the Palestinian authority or the EU or the American administration , during this moments El-Tahrir square and Down town are watching Protests and yesterday seven Governates saw protests and I am sure that Cairo University and Ain Shams are having their share now. Not to mention the huge one in front the Arab league whose protesters were arrested.
By the way I knew why Egypt could not officially open the crossings at the borders in the past three days ,it turned out if we want to open the borders we must have An EU delegate in the scene !!! Well already I do not understand our relations with the EU after their glorious resolution are so bad , why we were obligated to listen them , anyhow this is history now , no need for delegates now
Here are the images from Rafah:
If there is any video file ,I will try to upload it here .
Check out Al Jazeera's Youtube, they have a couple of videos.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the story with the EU delegate ?! It seems crazy!
I read this story this morning online; I didn't know a lot of what is happening in Israel or even that there was a wall at the border. It is very interesting to read about it from your perspective. It's a hard situation for so many living in that area; I really can hardly imagine. ~Becca (in the US)
ReplyDeleteIsrael and Egypt have been throwing punches at each other for some time now.
ReplyDeleteI this incident of letting the palestinans path to the Rafah as a another punch in the ongoing fist fight.
With the crisis that is going on and the fact that the Egy. gov. is furios at Israel for it's role in withholding 100 mil. of the military aid.
that's reason one.
reason 2 egypt clearly and have repeatdly stated that need to increase the number of the border gurads and requested the increase of the egyptian militart in Sinai
letting the paletinians break through to emphasis the need to increase the EGY. troops numbers for better control
reason 3
the increased pressure from the egy population and anger at what is happening in Gaza.
I believe the scenario was arranged.
I mean egy. arranged with the palestinans to organize the demonstration at rafah and show the world that she is doing it's best to prevent the illegal enterance and the same time shows the increase in pressure and the non human situation the palestinans are living in.
in the same time assures that if the walls were broke through no single egy bullet will be fired.
Smart thinking huh??
anyway I believe the palestinans are welcomed in Egypt. and that's a releif and a nice slap on the IL face.
let's wait and see what the next round will bring !

alaa

Alaa is right...
ReplyDeleteAs sad as the situation in Gaza is...I don't think that Egypt should get drawn into that conflict. The Palestinians colloborate with their enemies the Israelis and many are traitors. And of course their leaders are all self serving liars and crooks.
Yes the poor civilians get lost in the middle. But Egypt has enough poor civilians of it's own.
Most Palestinians I meet don't like or care for Egyptians. Egyptians with their kind hearts are suckers for them every time.
I concur with Anon’s views. Hamas is the creation of Israel’s Mossad with the higher level objectives to create havocs when needed to achieve certain results. Of course the poor Palestinian and Egyptian civilians are pawns in the middle of this evil chessboard called ‘the M.E conflict’. Creation of Palestinian state in a background of stability and human progress is against the objectives of both sides of this evil game. Google and check on your own. I found this (3-4 years old) site very quickly and I am sure there are a lot more. http://globalresearch.ca/articles/ZER403A.html. I am not asking readers to take my words 100% but to ask questions and not to easily believe the political headlines thrown at them in the media in the ME.
ReplyDelete@Seg. Al-Jazeera English Channel and programs are only available on Youtube , not the Arabic one , I can't find it easily
ReplyDeleteabout the EU delegate yes it is surely crazy , I heard on TV ,from the ex-assitant of the Foreign ministry , it is a part of the deal when they open the crossing an EU delegate must be there , i donot know how , I mean well he stay 24/7 or what ??
@Becca , it is really hard situation and I am not surprised that the American media is not covering it as it should because of the elections and the interest rate
@Alaa I agree 100% with what you are saying I believe now it is true for all these reasons you mention ,more than before
but it is so sad that Egypt as a powerful country acts like this from fear !! yeah I know it is politics , but we are not small country to act like this
@anonymous, so they are bad asses , and we should do what ?? Kill them on the borders , whether you wanted it or not you are dragged in to their conflict and you have to deal with it because this is your national security , Gaza is part of your real national security
Once Ibrahim Pasha said the security of Egypt starts from Syria
@Ohio , the answer is above to you, you know Hamas is not Gaza and Gaza is not Hamas , there are people other than Hamas who are suffering what we should , we should let them die or what !!??
No Zeinobia I have nothing to justify for Palestinian civilians being placed in this nightmare. In fact I am glad that they are in a relatively more responsible environment (emphasis on relatively) What I write about is to engage people in Egypt and the ME in using their brain to start thinking what the root causes behind events taking place in the ME and try to become aware of the driving forces to place them in this, or that, political scenario. Hamas was involved from the beginning in this drama in Gaza at the cost of 77(or more) human lives, and the misery of hundreds of other civilians in order that next political step will involve them in a certain way. I know you like to mentally and heartedly accommodate them and give them the benefit of the doubt. You are entitled to your own believe, all I am suggesting for readers is to dig deeper than what the politician and the media play on them. Check, compare events, analyze, and check again, then draw your own conclusion. Sorry if I sounded too harsh, but I feel no excuse to waste human lives the way it took place at the Gaza/Egyptian borders.
ReplyDeletehere it is Zein , AlJazeera arabic have a youtube gate and there is 3 clips for it's first coverage from Rafah crossing ,, and more weekly programs also ...

To @ Ohio, Try pulling your telescope back and apply your logic, which is correct, to the U.S. The same isn't it?
ReplyDelete@Ohio ,even if Hamas are bloody bastards and they are traitors , we got other calculations with them you and I and the Global research website know nothing about this is one
ReplyDeleteNumber two yes Hamas are traitors but we can do , they control the Sector ,do you want to go and to fight them by force ?? remember Israel till now failed awfully in this
Or would you force another blockade and siege on them ?? it also did not work
what about the guys of Fatah , people like Dahlan ??
@Juplia,thanks so much for the link my dear friend ,thanks so much
