A former correspondent of the New York Times shows his ignorance (or his malfeasance): he just wants to absolve Israel

Look what he says here: "Israel and Egypt have locked the gates to Gaza. Israel's closure is more understandable than Egypt's, given that Cairo pretends to be the Palestinian's greatest friend and protector." What? You are surprised about Egyptian regime's behavior? When the US and Israel arm and finance and support and order this regime? And who ever said that Mubarak's regime is the "greatest friend and protector" of the Palestinians? Are you confusing Mubarak with Nasser? And to feign innocence as Brinkley does is not cute at all. As if Brinkley does not know that Egyptian imposes the siege by order of the US/Israel.
