Do we brigade any more? The comments section is horrible.

Here’s the top comment.

Funny how no one mentions that Egypt (an Arab nation) also has an Iron Curtain style border with Gaza, yet they don’t get shit when people are talking about the Gaza blockade.

    The person who wrote this never spoke or hanged out with pro-Palestinian people like ever lmao, that person just imagined a scenario and decided to make it reality.

    Yes yes we know Egypt has a border with Gaza and that border has a huge fence and they’re not allowed to cross it. But are they also aware that Egypt is nothing but another US vassal? That Egypt is being ruled by a comprador regime that is friendly to “Israel”? Destroy what links the Egyptian regime with the US and “Israel” and you will see that blockade end in a second.

    Not sure where that person is trying to go, countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States get a lot of shit for either directly supporting the genocide or not doing anything about it (Oil embargo? Hello?) Perhaps this person is actually a pan-arabist who’s incredibly mad because an Arab nation is not doing internationalism to help their brothers in need, but I don’t think this is the case…

    OP in this case seems very pro Palestine if you look at their post history. Comments are indefensible

    I’d like to say that’s some actual Nazi shit, but as an American who is involuntarily funding their oppression, I don’t want to come off as chauvinistic or paternal for not respecting Palestinian’s Arabness and having some faith in the occupied territories for liberating themselves in their own time frame.
