Egypt has historically had its own problem with Palestinians. There's a reason Palestinians are not readily absorbed into Egypt. They support violent factions which Egypt does not want inside its country.

Egypt has the right to protect its borders and its citizens. I respect them for that.jerrab » 13 Dec 2023, 12:20 pm » wrote: ↑ that is exactly how egypt sees them, dogs at the gate. if they let them in they would poison them too.

Look, I love dogs. I've always always had dogs. But, when allowed to reproduce and run in packs in an urban area they can be dangerous and spread diseases. Perhaps you should be more concerned with what is happening to dogs within our own borders. In the US, 51,000 dogs were euthanized from January to July 2023. This was driven by a huge increase in stray dogs. https://www.axios.com/2023/08/30/euthan ... t-pandemicjerrab » 13 Dec 2023, 12:33 pm » wrote: ↑ not the dogs from last week but dogs killed by the egptian goverment before. this happens allll the time in cruel egypt.
Sometimes you just have to be mean. Israel is "mean" for killing thousands of Palestinians in its pursuit of eradicating Hamas. Egypt is "mean" because it is protecting its borders from an enemy alien invasion. Maybe the US should be a little meaner and SHUT ITS SOUTHERN BORDER DOWN!!!

I don't know why you are picking on Egypt for how they handle their stray dogs, when the US is likely much worse.

Knock knock knock.....WAKE UP JERRAB! So-called "shelters" in the US are killing dogs in droves.

Gaza was invaded because it attacked Israel. There hadn't been a single Jew living in Gaza since the early 2000's. Israel actually evicted Jews from Gaza to give it completely to the Palestinians. Now, you may not believe Israel should have retaliated the way it did to Gaza's attack - you'd have to explain your position on that, though.jerrab » 13 Dec 2023, 2:09 pm » wrote: ↑ if biden stopped the evictions n gaza all this would not have happened.

Key Democrats are pushing back against progressives who are criticizing the treatment of Palestinians by the Israeli government in the face of what some lawmakers worry could become President Biden’s first foreign policy crisis.At the furthest end of the spectrum of critics is Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who on Monday called Israeli air strikes that killed civilians in Gaza “an act of terrorism.”Other progressives, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), have condemned Israel’s plans to evict Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East Jerusalem, plans that are under review by Israel’s Supreme Court.Warren called the proposed evictions “abhorrent” and said the Biden administration “should make clear to the Israeli government that these evictions are illegal and must stop immediately.”Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said “the evictions of families in East Jerusalem would violate international law” and challenged the Biden administration to respond.“If the Biden Administration puts the rule of law and human rights at the heart of its foreign policy, this is not a moment for tepid statements,” he tweeted.

your statement about no jews in gaza is so untrue.Skans » 13 Dec 2023, 2:20 pm » wrote: ↑ Gaza was invaded because it attacked Israel.

As for so-called "evictions" of Palestinians from East Jerusalem - I had to do a little research into this, as I was completely unfamiliar with these claims. Turns out Jews bought Palestinians' homes in that area, and part of the land originally belonged to Jews who had been forced out by Palestinian squatters. That's apparently what the Palestinians started a war over. I think that's ****, because Palestinians have been planning for war ever since they got control of Gaza.
You're full of ****. There have been no Jews living in Gaza since the early 2000's. Go ahead and read Wikipedia: Israeli disengagement from Gaza.jerrab » 13 Dec 2023, 2:29 pm » wrote: ↑ your statement about no jews in gaza is so untrue.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------Merkley has criticized Hamas as a “terrorist entity” and called the indiscriminate firing of rockets into civilian centers “unforgiveable.”He says Israel has a right to defend its citizens but also “must reexamine how it deploys its disproportionate power, including its ongoing de facto annexation of Palestinian territory.”He highlighted “expanding settlements, expropriating land, and locking Palestinians into second-class existence with few rights or opportunities.”Merkley and other progressives say the Biden administration needs to pressure Israel to adhere more closely to international agreements if there’s to be hope of reviving negotiations toward a two-state solution, a goal they believe slid further away during former President Trump’s four years in office.Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), a longtime staunch ally of Israel, earlier this week declined to take a side in the growing debate within his caucus.“I hope both sides can come together and bring peace,” --haha--he said when asked about claims that evicting Palestinians from East Jerusalem would violate international law.One Democratic senator who requested anonymity said the violence in Israel threatens to spin out of control and become Biden’s first foreign policy crisis.
