Thread Name: BS: Egypt shuts down tunnels to Gaza
Subject: RE: BS: Egypt shuts down tunnels to Gaza
"Egypt closed the tunnels."
The Egyptian military closed the tunnels, as they said they would at the time. As far as the Government is concerned, I seem to have read somewhere that it is under some pressure for going back on its promises following the Arab Spring revolution.
I also seem to remember you being severely critical of Egypt for its lack of democracy, its lack of support for Palestinians and its treatment of Bedouins - yet here you go, presenting them as paragons of democracy, fair play and honesty.
Funny old world (not to mention strange bedfellows)!!
"I expect more has been learned over the last seven months"
If you have any evidence that implicates Hamas in the killings, please put it up - I promise I'll read it.
