    Israel is as much an occupying force as Egypt is. Both share borders with Gaza, so your argument holds no water. If Egypt wanted to, they could relieve all pressure on Palestinian civilians by simply opening up their border with Gaza. Israel by itself cannot enforce a blockade of Gaza.

      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”.
