After 75 years of failure, one would imagine that a people would learn what works and what doesn’t, both from their own experience, as well as the experience of others.
#WarOfndependence that began in 1947 was first a #civilWar between #Arabs and #Jews in #Palestine, and then a multi-state war… from at least five sovereign countries—#Egypt, #Transjordan, #Syria, #Iraq, and #Israel—as well as small contingents from others. It was a war fought village by village and town by town, and it resulted in massive population displacements on both sides.
No Jews remained anywhere in parts of Palestine that fell under #Arab control
"Egypt Joins ICJ Case Accusing Israel of Genocide"
"Egypt is the third country after Colombia & Turkey to request to join South Africa's case."
Egypt, as "the cornerstone of Israel's standing in the Middle East" since 1979, joining South Africa's case is a "real diplomatic punch. Israel would have to take it very seriously".
~Alon Liel, former director of Israel's Foreign Ministry
Egypt to join South Africa’s ICJ genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
Egypt says the move is due to the worsening severity & scope of Israeli attacks against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip.
However, Egypt has repeatedly warned Israel that Israel's military operations along the Egypt-Gaza border could endanger the peace treaty between the two.
Thousands of truck/trailers are stuck on the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing since last week because of the Israeli occupation of the border. Most of the fresh products in the trucks have gone bad and there is a risk of other items to be destroyed if #Israel does not allow the help to get in.
Over 1 million Palestinians, most of the women, elderly and children are stuck in western #Rafah without access to food, medicine and water. The situation is getting worse every day as Israel keep bombing them and pushing forward with 100s of tanks and armored vehicles.
A person from Egypt, who opened a hole in the wall between Rafah & Egypt gives snacks every day through the hole to feed the children of Gaza who suffer hunger!
The university students protest not to contribute to this humanity crisis.
