Also, Egypt is not getting enough blame for not letting Gazans out through their border.

Oh how short memories we have. The Muslim Brotherhood did some absolute fucked up shit in Egypt. There's a reason them and their offshoots (like Hamas) are banned there.

Gazans are not all Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood. So maybe Egypt should treat them like they're all criminals?

[–] mwguy@infosec.pub 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you remember the shit the Brotherhood did in Egypt?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Again- Gazans are not all Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood. So maybe Egypt should treat them like they’re all criminals?

Do you remember 9/11? Should all Muslims in the U.S. be treated live second-class in perpetuity because if it?

You don't remember what happened do you? Can you name one atrocity that the brotherhood did in Egypt?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Irrelevant. Are all Palestinians in the Muslim Brotherhood? Unless they all are, it doesn't matter what the Muslim Brotherhood did.

It seems like you're doing a racist "you can't trust a Palestinian" thing to me.

[–] mwguy@infosec.pub 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How is it irrelevant? It directly caused Egypt's current policies.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You keep refusing to answer my question. You are not here in good faith.

[–] mwguy@infosec.pub 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm arguing in good faith. You're ignoring the atrocities committed in recent memory. People in Egypt lost family to the Brotherhood's actions and they're unwilling to forget that.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You still haven't answered my question. So no, you're not. If you were, you would have answered it the first time I asked it.

No you did not. For the last time: Are all Palestinians in the Muslim Brotherhood?

[–] mwguy@infosec.pub 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No of course not all Palestinians (or all Gazans) in the Muslim Brotherhood. But the risk of Hamas sneaking through is too high for Egypt to tolerate.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sort of like how the risk of Al Qaeda sneaking into the U.S. was too high to tolerate after 9/11 and that's why we should deny all Muslims U.S. citizenship to this day, right?

[–] mwguy@infosec.pub 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's an opinion a lot of people had in 2011, ten years after the attack. And the Muslim Brotherhood killed more people in Egypt in its reign of terror than AQ did in 9/11.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Once again, you didn't answer my question. I didn't ask what opinion "a lot of people had." I'm not talking to them. Why do I have to keep asking you questions multiple times?
