Not exactly ironic; Egypt waged a few flashy wars against Israel but we’ve been kowtowing to them for at least two decades. Egypt is the Arab state most complicit in Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians.
What I got from the article was some marginal complicity rather than June 2013 being a full-fledged US-supported coup. The US should’ve taken and should take a harsher stance against the Egyptian military junta, but that’s one thing and the US being implicated in the coup is another.
At this stage Israel controls the Rafah crossing, so Egypt doesn’t have a way to send stuff in unless they try to force the issue with military involvement.
And obviously they’re dependent on the US for military aid, so if they tried they’d get cut off immediately.
Egypt is the only way in but I guess they do what Israel says. Ironic given their history.

I’m talking way back
You say that like Egypt is not another country that’s dominated by the US. The “Arabs” they rose up and took back control of their country in 2011 only to have it taken away from them again in a US supported coup, thanks Obama! Would Egyptians themselves support the genocide like we know most Israelis do?
Absolutely not, but Egypt the state is still very much in bed with Israel. Also do you have a source for US support for the coup?
Yes, the unwillingness to condemn and the ongoing support of the US for the despot that took away Egyptians’ democracy.
