'PUT UP THAT WALL!'

 

US to Egypt:
'Don't let them escape!'

 

 

In preparation for this year's world Holocaust® celebration,
the US asked its Israeli surrogate, Egypt, to support the
ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people by securing
them ever more tightly in their Gaza Strip cage. Here's how
the Zionist regime portrays its cruel and inhuman policy.

Egypt must protect Gaza Strip border: Rice

MEDELLIN, Colombia — Egypt must ensure the security of its
border on the Gaza Strip where militants have blown a hole
in the wall built by Israel, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice said on Thursday.

"I understand that it's a difficult situation for them. But it is an
international border. It needs to be protected and I believe
that Egypt understands the importance of doing that," Rice
told reporters before arriving in Medellin on a trip to promote
a free trade agreement with Colombia.

Rice blamed Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, for the
situation that led to the destruction on Wednesday of a
200-meter section of the 20-foot-high (6-meter-high = 19-foot)
metal border wall.

"This problem has come first and foremost out of the security
situation created by Hamas in Gaza and they're unwillingness
to stop — and I'm quite certain they could if they wished to —
the rocket fire against, against Israel," Rice said.

Crocodile concern for Gazans

"With that said, the innocent people of Gaza are in a very
difficult situation and we've stressed with the Israelis to do
everything that they can to allow humanitarian aid to continue,"
Rice said.

Rice said that Israel had been responsive to the humanitarian
concerns raised by the United States.

Israel, which occupied the Gaza Strip in 1967, pulled troops and
settlers out in 2005 but still controls its northern and eastern
borders, airspace and coastal waters. It has imposed a blockade
that it says is meant to counter militant rocket fire.
