Before Egypt closed the Rafah crossing, as many as 100,000 Gazans paid exorbitant fees to be allowed to flee to Egypt.

They received 45-day tourist visas, which have long expired. Now they are there illegally with no rights as either citizens, refugees or  otherwise legal residents. They are ineligible for public education, health care and other services that other residents in Egypt enjoy. They may not even open up bank accounts.

Here is a video showing scores of Gazans lining up to receive aid from a charity on November 21.



Gazans complain that there are no jobs available and Gazans are not allowed to work in many fields as well - just like Palestinians in Lebanon.

But in Lebanon, UNRWA acts as a quasi government that provides medical, food and education. UNRWA does not have a mandate to work in Egypt, but the Egyptians also do not allow the Gazans to apply to become refugees under the UNHCR framework that is there.

Egypt signed the 1965 Casablanca Protocol that promised to give Palestinians rights to residency, work and travel. It has ignored those obligations.

It also signed the Refugee Convention in 1981. Again, it has ignored those obligations towards the Gazans who fled there.

There are no protests outside Egyptian embassies. There are practically no articles in Western media about the situation of Palestinians in Egypt. While Egypt welcomed millions of refugees from elsewhere in Africa and Syria, it decided that Palestinians must be treated differently - and this blatant discrimination makes not a ripple among the "pro-Palestinian" crowd.

Because they aren't pro-Palestinian. They are just anti-Israel.
