    So because Egypt isn’t doing enough, Israel isn’t to blame? Right. Solid argument.

    What Egypt does or doesn’t do does not in any way negate the fact that Israel is completely out of line.

    What an argument “but look at them, they are also bad, which means the even badder guys must not be as bad”.

        B’tselem, The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories says the following:

        Although Israel declared an end to its military administration in Gaza, it continues to control critical aspects of life there. It controls all border crossings by land, apart from Rafah, as well as Gaza’s sea and air space. This control allows Israel to exclusively monitor the movement of people and goods in and out of Gaza, which it regulates according to Israeli interests. This holds true even when Gaza residents wish only to transit through Israel in order to reach the West Bank or other countries.

        Regarding moving of the goal post, you brought up Egypt, not me.

        If you want to continue discussing in good faith, please stick to the talking points.
