I have been seeing some of the worst nightmarish images I have ever seen in my entire life coming out of Gaza.
Here are a few words on the last one I have watched:
A young girl on a hospital floor. Twisting and turning in excruciating pain. Both legs reduced to bloody stumps. Wild eyed. Perhaps screaming inside ‘what did I do?’. Her butt burned off. Her genitals seemed burned as well. Covered in dust. We know there is no water. We know there is no anesthesia. Folks who had the last bit of empathy and human dignity squeezed out of them by forces unknown comment: ‘Her parents voted for Hamas.’ or ‘So what? Hamas did the same on October 7th’. To be fine with the most extreme variant of pain a human being is able to feel all inflicted upon someone who hours ago was just a blossoming young girl who had dreams and aspirations and wanted to learn and grow surrounded by her loved ones.
Will she survive? Will she go through the worst hell a person can go through for the next three or four days? Alone, with the screaming of others wounded like her drowning out her own screaming? Dying alone in a hospital turned into complete pandemonium, wishing her parents would show up… My dear fellow human beings, this is what we are allowing and there are people using what little intelligence and creativity they have to tell us that this is the right thing to do, that in fact it is to be applauded. No, a thousand times no, other ways need to be found asap to put a stop to the dying and suffering on BOTH sides
How come no Arab country accepts Gazan refugees? Turkey has accepted some 7 million Syrian refugees!

Opinions vary:
Israeli psychologist Samuel Vaknin says Egypt doesn’t like the Palestinians and wants to annex Gaza, preferably without the Palestinians in it
Kim Iversen says if Egypt accepts them then Israel wins and can take over all of Gaza and the Palestinians will of course never return
Also possible is that Egypt is afraid they will import Hamas and other smaller terrorist groups. Something like Black September could happen.
Some say Egypt doesn’t have the means to take care of so many refugees. Turkey is much wealthier and more advanced.
Also possible is that Egypt is very loyal to the US since it receives a lot of US support, they even have been able to get the Abrams tanks. In 2023 the US approved 235 million in military aid to Egypt. They are likely not willing to anger the US over too much assistance to the Palestinians
Moshe and I talk a little bit about it in the second interview
