Dear Editor,
Egypt, home to 90 million Muslims, has a giant “key” to the southern stretch of giant metal fencing (keeping out Iranian-backed Hamas suicide bombers heading for Israel) surrounding Gaza. Why doesn’t Egypt turn the key — with the help and support of all the other nearly 300 million Muslims of Middle Eastern Arab countries — and open Egypt’s southern gate to Gaza…to admit their Palestinian Muslim brothers and sisters?
After all, many oil-rich Arab states are the most opulent places in the world and have been ever since a United Nations (yes, the UN did!) mandate of Israel as a state in 1948!
Yours,
