Egypt lifts its side of Gaza blockade for aid

Maybe Egypt’s move to lift the blockade of the Gaza Strip will ease tensions in the region.

Notice the two Jews in the photograph below. As is the case with Muslim fundamentalist extremists, these ultra-orthodox Jews are just as radical and fanatical in their beliefs. Now ask yourselves, do you really believe these two extremely religious groups with different ideologies will ever get along? TGO

CAIRO – An Egyptian official says the government is temporarily lifting its blockade of the Gaza Strip to allow aid into the area a day after Israel raided an international flotilla carrying supplies to the Palestinian territory and killed nine activists.

The governor of northern Sinai, Murad Muwafi, says President Hosni Mubarak ordered the opening of the border crossing to Gaza in the town of Rafah for several days.

Muwafi says the opening of the crossing — which Egypt sealed after Gaza was taken over by Hamas militants in 2007 — is an effort to “alleviate the suffering of our Palestinian brothers after the Israeli attack” on the flotilla.
