So Hamas says their war with Israel is all about Israel's closure of border crossings with Gaza, and its naval blockade. But Hamas also has a border with Egypt, and Egypt has also closed their border with Gaza.
There have been attacks in Egypt over the past several years; see this recent article, for example. But why isn't Hamas firing thousands of rockets into Egypt?
I can think of a few answers:
1. Egypt's response would make Israel's actions look tepid;
2. It's okay to kill Jews, not to kill Arabs;
3. Hamas's attack really isn't about the border crossings, it's about having a Jewish neighbour.
Anyone want to guess which answer is right?
