Egypt refuses to help Palestinians in Gaza, and is actually “prepared to sacrifice” them, amid warnings by Israel to civilians to clear out so as not to be harmed in the fighting. Let’s see how many world leaders and media will pick up on this. Jordan, too, has also reiterated: “No refugees in Jordan, no refugees in Egypt,” and said that this is “a red line.”
For these Arab Muslim leaders, the hate and propaganda against Israel remains top priority, not the safety of Palestinians.
“Egypt is ‘prepared to sacrifice millions of lives’ to protect its land, PM says,” Ynet News, October 31, 2023:
Egypt is committed to protecting its land and maintaining its sovereignty over it, the country’s prime minister said. Mostafa Madbouly visited al-Arish in northern Sinai on Tuesday, accompanied by hundreds of government officials and public figures, Al Arabiya reported.
“We are prepared to sacrifice millions of lives to ensure that no one encroaches upon our territory,” Madbouly said.
“Egypt will never allow anything to be imposed on it,” the prime minister also said, adding that regional issues would not be solved at the country’s “expense,” according to the Wall Street Journal.
His message appeared to be a response to reports that an Israeli government ministry has drafted a wartime proposal to transfer the Gaza Strip’s 2.3 million people to Egypt’s Sinai peninsula.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office played down the report compiled by the Intelligence Ministry as a hypothetical exercise — a “concept paper.” But its conclusions deepened long-standing Egyptian fears that Israel wants to make Gaza into Egypt’s problem…

What does it take to realize there is discrimination among Muslims? Does Saudi Arabia allow imported Muslim workers to become citizens? The “Brotherhood” thing has limits.
This Egyption excuse is laughable. The true attitude is more like India’s Brahmin attitude toward untouchables. Nobody wants Hamas Palestinians, not even Jordan. They are viewed as trouble with a terrorist government. If Egypt takes Palestinians, it gets Hamas.
Westman says
Egyptian -> Egyption
somehistory says
Whatever way you spell it, they are discriminating. Life means nothing to them…except their own….it’s the power that controls their hearts and minds. Power is what they want and when they have it, they wield it discriminatingly.
Westman says
Spot on. Whoever invented Allah also invented a system of physical power and wealth grabbing that could never end unless Allah ended it – which means, never. If all humans were Muslims they would be fighting over which group was authentic Islam and which was the real Caliphate.
somehistory says
Thank you, Westman. And you are so right. We see it between the sunni and the shia fighting for control
Ade Fegan says
No doubt, the “far right” conservative party in the UK will take them all
Eva says
Oh hell, don’t say that!!!
We’ve got enough problems!!!
James Lincoln says
I’ll give Mostafa Madbouly one thing:
He believes in protecting his country’s borders.
Jihan says
Exactly. This is the only way to look at Egypt’s position.
abu taleb says
If Hamas does not hesitate to sacrifice the Palestinians, then why Egypt can not do the same?
But wait, muslims are always sacrifice other muslims’ lives, so what Egypt does should not be a surprise at all.
Btw, the US under Democrat will certainly accept Palestinian “refugees”, they are sacrificing their own Americans as well just like Hamas’ sacrifcing Palestinians..
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Perhaps we should not impose U.S. taxpayer money on them, either. You know, the tax payers living paycheck to paycheck, terrorized by the thought of a debilitating illness that would send them to the poor house, driving on dilapidated roads and over bridges ready to collapse. Why do we keep finding ourselves in the same situation? Spending taxpayer money to protect these governments that despise us. Time to cut bait and sail away. Let them come grovelling at our feet so we might set the terms to our advantage.
Huapakechi says
The Egyptians have obviously learned the lesson of history. They saw what happened to Lebanon and want no part of it.
George says
You absolutely right the west have to fight HAMAS by cut the source of money they got from the western country and stop Iran arm them and the Palestinian will live in peace on their own land
Bexarkat says
That’s quite the odd statement as Jordan was carved out of the Palestine Mandate and the vast majority of Jordanians, including Queen Raina claim “palestinian” heritage.
Violet says
I don’t blame Egypt or Jordan. In every place Palestinians have been given refuge, they’ve turned on their supporters and cause horrific trouble. Jordan – they assassinated Prime Minister Wasfi Tal …These people are so demonized they even tortured the animals owned by those they hate.
“No refugees in Jordan, no refugees in Egypt,” King Abdullah said.
He also cautioned that “if the war between Israel and the Palestinian terrorist organisation Hamas is allowed to spill over into other nations, it will be disastrous for the Middle East.”
So why in name of …. would any western country permit them in? We know Justin Trudeau wants to destroy Cda to please his idol, Klaus Schwabb… WEF
Susan Bennett says
Egypt wants to see the Jews genocidally wiped out, so Israel needs to ignore their threats and frog march the muslims out of Gaza, into Egypt and seal their border. Let the muslims take care of their own. Obviously, the Egyptian Prime Minister has no problem with genocide.
It is an idea, at least, that Israel should instead offer refuge instead to the Egyptian Christian Coptic community on Gaza, whose ancestry goes back to ancient Egypt and predates that of the muslims.
Egypt used to be a Christian majority country, as did Lebanon, until the muslims invaded. Lebanon was a Christian country until the self-named Palestinians invaded and destroyed the country – what was once a beautiful, free, Christian country that tolerated all religions, is now a blighted sharia dictatorship with a muslim majority. Christians currently comprise about 10% of Egypt’s population.
I just spoke with a Coptic Christian refugee in United States who told me that in Egypt, if the Christians build a new church, the muslims destroy it. The Christians in Egypt are constantly under attack.
JimJFox says
Gaza… once run by Israel which decided that handing it over to so-called Palestinians would be a great idea and promote peace.
