In other words, bedioun Egyptians run black market to make money. Not the other way around. Palestinians don't sell goods from Gaza into Egypt. Which
It's a joint operation, tunnels are usually joint ventures by Egyptians and Gazans. Goods are not the only commodity, people, weapons, drugs, and anything else that's lucrative.
It's not a one way business, people are smuggled back and forth as are
weapons.
. We pay to get stuff into Gaza.There's no problem in that. We basically employ all your tribes and people in the whole Sinai peninsula. And now you took all their jobs. So government is responsible for any future tensions.
There's a massive problem in that. The majority of smuggled goods be it fuel or food provisions are tax payer subsidised, along with shortages due to stocks being diverted elsewhere, the profits made by smugglers are not taxed, meaning the state loses out, and in return funding for other things health, education, healthcare, or even subsidies is lower than what it should be, meaning an overall loss to the Egyptian tax payer. Hamas' coffers are also bumped up, because they tax the tunnel trade.
Now, ignoring that that their 'jerbs' are illegal, and they pay zero direct tax, they are actively aiding a foreign party in violating a sovereign nations (their own) territory. In my opinion those who were implicit in this trade don't deserve to be a part of the new infrastructure projects cropping up in the Sinai.
There was no such thing ever clown. And Egyptian government already stated Morsi orchestrated the attack. So what does it have to do with Gaza?

People can pass for $50 each but the rate increases if they are armed. Most of the passengers are men, the owner said, but women and children also use the tunnels. Farm animals occasionally make the journey as well.
"If someone is passing with one or two guns, we charge $60 to $70. But if someone has more weapons, it's a special operation and might cost as much as $1,000 or $2,000 depending on the type of weapon," the Egyptian owner told Reuters.
He said he does not check the identification of people who pass and even allows masked men to use his tunnel if his Palestinian partner vouches for them. "As long as they give me $50, I let them through," he said.
The owner said he also does not seek to know the affiliation or destination of militants and weapons for fear that displeased customers will use another tunnel or report him to the security forces. "I just deliver the weapons and take the money," he said. "I'm not concerned with where they're going."

Show me one official governmental statement which accuses Morsi of orchestrating the 2012 August attacks. If there was it would be a massive part of his trial but he isn't being tried for anything to do with it.
Again another lie, they went to Israel and were killed.
Wrong, the largest Fahd APC variant can take a crew of of 12 people (including driver and commander), the group that carried out the attack was a platoon sized formation consisting of 35 people, the Israelis killed four attackers and later turned their bodies over to Egypt. After the attack the Army chased militants to the Egyptian side of Rafah.

Only media outlets are Jewish/Israeli that report that in order to hope for tensions between Egyptians and Palestinians.
Except you swear by Jewish/Israeli/CIA/Mossad/FSB/Ozzie outlets when trying to frame the Egyptian Military as one that collaborates without heeding your own advice.
And Egypt gave us a list of 13 people to turn over. All those 13 either were dead from 2008 or are currently in Israeli prisons.
A lot more than thirteen people were wanted, even IQB leaders were wanted. There was no single request either, nor were the requests related to a single attack.

Yes you are denial. There are many factors which brought Egypt to this situation. And Gaza isn't related to them
Sure.
Ansar Beit Maqdis is not advanced at all. And since when did manpads make you advanced? Those are useless, decades old weapons that have no use.
They used a newer generation of Soviet/Russian MANPAD, the Igla. With a much higher Azad Kashmir, and much better performance in range and aversion to jamming its a very potent platform against low flying military helicopters that may have troops on board or are important assets such as Apaches.
ABM are a very well organised and trained group, their corps are all veterans of Iraq, Syria, Afghan, and Yemen. A lot of the tactics they use are those used against ISAF and against the Pesh and IA in Iraq.
It's just that Egyptian army head rather protect border with Eilat and do buffer zone on Gaza instead of protecting Egyptian people. That and sending army to streets in Cairo to crack down on Egyptians. Egypt is gaining nothing out of this relationship with Israel. It is relationship of appeasement. Maybe some guys at top level gain but poor Egyptians will suffer.
Yeah, the 2nd Army, 3rd Army, Special Operations, Special Forces, Rapid Deployment Forces, EN, and the EAF are all protecting the border with Israel and stopping the 'thowar', it's not like they're in NS at all actually fighting or dying.
