    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.

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

          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.

            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.

              I did answer it.

                  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.

                    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?
