Thats a lot of reading for me 👀 but I'll try to get through a few of them 👊
Study these. Use Brave browser (not Google or Safari).
2007–2011: Egypt, under President Mubarak, tightly restricted Rafah (only-direct access link to the outside world except through Israel).
2011–2013: After the Arab Spring and under President Morsi (Muslim Brotherhood), Egypt slightly eased access.
Post-2013: Following a military coup and the rise of President el-Sisi, Egypt cracked down again, citing Hamas ties to the Muslim Brotherhood (outlawed in Egypt).
Today:
Egypt still restricts movement through Rafah, though it occasionally opens the crossing for humanitarian reasons or under international pressure.
Egypt also destroyed smuggling tunnels under the border and created a buffer zone to curb weapons and goods flow.

Just study the Rafah border crossing. It will tell you all you want to know.

Flash has no interest in being objective. He has a bias that’s fed early and often.
I don't want to get in the middle of nothing. I like his updates and am not emotionally involved with wars
I enjoy most of his updates. My only reservation is that there’s no context.
Be the change. Feed him perspective.
The dude grinds his whole day. I don't think depth is his forte. Or can be. Or should be. Because it doesn't need to be.
Its on the user to verify
He does grind, no doubt. And he doesn’t have to give a thesis, but there’s an exorbitant amount of editorializing from the sources he posts. Examples are easy to find in his feed. And an editorial is fine if that’s your goal, but let’s not call it news.
