Egyptians are Arabs. It is a sociopolitical identity. Culturally and linguistically most Egyptians view themselves as Arab. Anecdotally, I have have had several Egyptian friends who also identify as Arab and would laugh at the assertion they are not Arab. No idea what you are going on about or where you got that info.

Egypt does not want Palestinians into the Sinai for various reasons. Mainly because it would jeopardize the peace treaty between Israel and Gaza given the history of what occurs when Palestinians are accepted into neighbouring states. This along with the fact that Egypts economy is bordering on full meltdown would make supporting refugees not something they would want to do. Some of you have some grandiose theories about what Israel wants to do with Gaza. If Israel begins to take land for Israelis in Gaza I will be right there with you saying that it is wrong.

Your psuedohistory explanation is not really worth arguing against because it is grounded in complete historical ignorance that is not worth the time to explain it to you. 20% of Israel is made up of Arab-Israelis who work in all branches of Israeli society, have political parties in government, and even sit on the Supreme Court. 70 % of Israels Jewish population descend not from the United States like you are claiming for whatever reason, but from surrounding middle eastern countries whose Jewish population had faced centuries of persecution and subsequently then ethnically cleansed after the creation of Israel. There is no point in explaining to you that Israel accepted a two state solution all the way back in 1948 where 80% of Mandate Palestine was given to the Arabs, only to for Israel to be attacked. Many Palestinians fled for various reasons that have all been explored by historians and i do not care to explain it to you. The ones who stayed were incorporated into Israel. It is a complicated and nuanced history and your childlike comparison would be hilarious if it was not so commonly spread by sources who want to see Israel destroyed.

I hope one day you choose to open a history text book on the subject!
