Fine, so the EU is seiging Gaza with Egypt. Though I think your data is not up to date the important fact remains the same: Israel does not control that border. Talking about the embrago and selectivly only mentioning Israel is a curious thing and to me it seems biased against that non-EU non-muslim state.

Please pay more attention to what I posted: I never mentioned Israel, and I am not biased against them.

The Gaza/Egypt border only allows people, not goods. Goods need to go through Israel/Gaza borders.

If you disagree with this, go talk to the administrators of those borders or modify the treaties that govern them.

If goods could freely pass back and forth there wouldn't be so many tunnels.

I don't know if the OP of this thread is part of the antizionism camp. I can only assert that he is an idiot (He looks at the map and cannot see the long border that is shared between Gaza and Egypt) BUT antisemitism == antizionism as it simply design to strip Jews from their own homeland. Antizionism is not part of a global anti nationality movement that says "Let's abolish the 57 Islamic countries, the 21 Arab coun…

I don't think anyone who claims to be anti-zionist apart from the far-right of the spectrum calls for the destruction of Israel. The "homeland" reason is stupid. Religion should have no say in politics, including the founding of states.

It is only relevant that it is what a major part of Gaza population claims.

Israeli people feel that anti-zionist effectively results in giving weapons and access to those who wish to use them, which means destruction and ethnic murder. Unwillingness the explain how this outcome is prevented seems to many as complete alignment with Hamas goals and effectively (indirectly) calling for the destruction of Israel.

"Goods need to go through Israel/Gaza borders"- unless Egypt and EU will want to let goods go through the Egypt/Gaza border.

I'm not arguing that goods are currently flowing from Egypt. I'm saying that they could if Egypt and the EU would want them to. So the original comment you responded to was correct in wondering why Egypt is not being mentioned.

Go read about Camp David accords, Egypt-Israel peace treaty and the whole mess of UN resolutions involving Israel and after you do that, let me know if it just depends on Egypt.
