Gaza, the Rafah Crossing and Egypt's Response to Israeli Attacks

Gaza?

Where is that?

Gaza?

Gaza?

What Gaza?

Gaza.

Gaza, Gaza, Gaza.

The children of Gaza.

Bombs in Syria.

Man, we're from Gaza, people.

I mean, do you find it acceptable?

By God, would our Lord approve...

that Gaza storms Israel?

And made a spectacle of us for everyone.

And they started hitting people like that in the street.

And an Israeli, I mean, dead in the street... it's a shame.

And what about the children?

Let's not be this naive.

No, we have to think rationally.

The Israeli president, Shimon Peres.

He went on television.

And said that no Palestinian child is being targeted.

Should I believe my own eyes?

And disbelieve Shimon Peres.

And they say Venezuela expelled the Israeli ambassador.

Well, what you should do, and this is just an assumption...

is not violence.

That works.

I mean...

I mean...

See?

What's it to me?

I have enough of my own problems, I don't need this.

Shouldn't we solve our own problems first...

before we look at others' problems?

No, no... oh.

Isn't Gaza in Israel?

In Israel.

So, America.

Are you kidding? America, huh?

America.

Man, we're helpless.

America is way out of our league.

Nuclear America?

Guys, we can't even say boo to them.

They have nuclear weapons.

And that's the point, you get it.

And they'll drag us into a third war.

And we can't handle it.

We're not asking you to fight, man.

We're just asking...

for you to take a stand worthy of Egypt.

An army against an army is a war.

But an army against women and children...

is terrorism.

For God's sake,

don't use that word 'terrorism'.

That's the word they use as a pretext against us.

That's his pretext, and he won't let it go.

I mean, a man like George W. Bush.

That's his pretext.

He thrives on this rhetoric.

So, 'terrorist' and all that.

Anyway, forget what I was saying.

We want to open the crossing.

The Rafah crossing.

Or just leave it ajar?

Why should we open it?

We open the crossing,

the Palestinians enter,

the Israelis find a pretext,

they strike us, we retaliate,

and they drag us into a proxy war.

What's it to us, man?

What proxy war are you talking about?

We've already signed, guys.

We have signed the peace treaty.

Yes, if they get in, they won't leave.

You know it and I know it.

It's not like it's a secret.

Because we've signed the peace treaty.

What treaty?

As if treaties are actually...

...followed to the letter.

Every treaty is vulnerable...

...to being annulled

or violated.

Let's just keep a low profile.

And mind our own business.

You know what?

The door that brings you the wind,

don't lick it all.
