Egypt: Any Palestinians Cross Our Border Will Get Legs Broken
Egyptian Border Patrol agents let Palestinians know that they got a big stick waiting for their legs if they try and cross their border again.
Sounds like a plan for the U.S. Mexico border, too, eh?
Egypt’s foreign minister said that no further violations of its borders would be tolerated in the wake of a 12-day breach of its frontier with Gaza and said anyone daring to cross would have their legs broken, the state news agency reported.
“Anyone who violates Egypt’s borders will get his leg broken,” Aboul Gheit was quoted as saying. He added that Egypt only allowed the Palestinians to cross the border after Hamas blew up the wall because of fears over the humanitarian situation resulting from Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip.
He also criticized Hamas for launching those missile attacks, describing the confrontation as a “laughable caricature” resulting in self-inflicted wounds.
“After Hamas’s take over of Gaza, it has decided to clash with Israel, though this clash seems to be a laughable caricature, because clashing with an opponent in battle is supposed to mean damaging them,” he said. “You do not go into battle just to damage yourself.”
He noted that Hamas’ missiles either fall back in Gaza and injure Palestinians or give the Israelis a pretext to attack them.
