(8,710 posts)24. How about a different reason from recently?
El-Sissi repeated warnings Wednesday that an exodus from Gaza was intended to eliminate the Palestinian cause
the most important cause of our region. He argued that if a demilitarized Palestinian state had been created long ago in negotiations, there would not be war now.
All historical precedent points to the fact that when Palestinians are forced to leave Palestinian territory, they are not allowed to return back, said H.A. Hellyer, a senior associate fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Egypt doesnt want to be complicit in ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Its always fun to look things up. In the article they do also mention the destabilization of the region so I wont argue that point but to say that is the only reason seems to be incorrect historically again.

You didn't make much of a case, and one extremely tenuous claim does not comprise "reasons".

Well I will bow to you as to the exact time frame I was talking about when I did not give an exact time frame.

Yes, I'm sure about it. "Someone said something half a century ago" is not convincing evidence

I think you can be against the smuggling of arms to a terrorist origination which was why the area was cleared
