All of this seems minor compaired to the results of stopping people sending aid through to gaza, an area that desperatly needs all the aid it can get, especially as the Israelis are not known for allowing free movement between Gaza and Israel. Egypt does not have the same worries that Israel does about the possibilty of suicide bombers from Gaza so does not have the justification to stop such movements.

While it might be argued that it has nothing to do with the greater israel/palestine problem as this is taking place within Egypt that would simply not be true. There would not be a problem at Egypt's border with Gaza if there was not the Israel/Palestine problem. It would be much easier for all necessary aid to go through Israel, but cant because of the determination by Israel to strangle Gaza.

It is equally difficult to see how this is something that is of particular interest to the Egyptian people and is therefore something that should be done in their interests. yes there may be some clashes and demonstrations but the chances are that most of Egypt's people would support allowing aid to reach Palestine from Egypt, from a historical perspective of Arab or Islamic solidarity it would seem that the Egyptian people themselves would be happy to make a minor sacrifice of problems at the border from aid convoys in return for helping the palestinians.

one soldier died. Which is strange, since Palestinians have thrown rocks at soldiers without killing them for many years now. Soldiers have protection from rocks.

This looks like 'propaganda' to control/stifle/annex aid to Palestinians in Gaza.

Israel like China has been attacking humanitarian organisations for a long period of time; once Israel blew a red cross hospital, claiming that their rocket somehow diverted(barely apologizing at all). Her crimes in Gaza are ubiquitously known.

Egypt is doing this, keeping in mind the political hierarchy of our times: get in Israel's good books and then get more buyers for your oil and more aid for development.

There is no moral reasoning behind capping/nicking the aid effort to Gaza.
