The Rafah Crossing
The suffering of Gazans practically lies in two words – Rafah Crossing. If it opens, the Gazans smile. If it closes, lives are frozen. At least, this is very true at this very moment.
Camp David Treaty (CDT) decides the manner Gaza crossing has been managed (or rather missmanaged). CDT has not only been dead, it has rotten. But, its legacy has crippled the lives of one and a half million people. We can’t be blaming CDT forever. In fact, I now put the blame on Egypt, and all the Arab Countries, and the OIC, and ourselves.
As long as Rafah Crossing are closed, we are, morally and spiritually, reduced to being Zionist servants ourselves. There is nothing else to brag about.
We must play our part to break the siege on Gaza. The siege is as evil as all evil could be. We can’t, and shouldn’t, stand watching.
We must pressure Egypt to open the Rafah Crossing by all means. We must pressure all Arab countries to facilitate the opening of the crossing by all means.
But how to go about it?
- How about continous protest in front the all Egypt embassies around the world? Set a permanent camp for protesters – only to be dismantled upon opening the crossing.
- How about boycotting Egypt products, Egypt universities…boycott anything Egypt until the crossing is open and goods can flow from Egypt to Gaza freely?
- How about sponsoring advertisement on local newspapers and international magazine condemning the Egyptian government complicity in ruining Gazans’ lives?
- Launch Mega Campaign internationally to Open Rafah Crossing (ORC)?
Are we so HELPLESS???
