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.

she already has a sanctuary she really needs funds. she was trying to save money to get them spayed and neutered. the egyptian government does not have any shelters and does not give money to anyone who does it on their own.

Egypt has the right to protect its borders and its citizens. I respect them for that.

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-pandemic

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

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!!!

people like the one I know would love govrnment funds to spay and neuter. and keep on shelters. she has 50 dogs and 70 cats she had spayed and neutered plus pay for food etc and medical expenses. the egyptian government rather than working with her just kills the dogs she is trying to help.

america has shelters, at least now unless biden adopts the egyptian plan. poisoning is a very painful death. there are low cost neuter programs offered by  cities.

Knock knock knock.....WAKE UP JERRAB!  So-called "shelters" in the US are killing dogs in droves. They kill far more than they adopt out.

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.

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.

He's a freaking Democrat, so he's probably lying.

Tell me exactly what international law an eviction violates.  If a Jew claims land because he bought the land, how is evicting squatters a violation of international law?  F-ing "evictions" and "killing dogs" - you and your violations of international laws!

For that matter, tell me how MY evicting dead-beat tenants from my properties is a violation of international law.  Waiting......................

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.

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.
