Nowhere To Pour Across

Tens of thousands of Palestinians on foot and on donkey carts poured into Egypt from Gaza Wednesday after masked gunmen used land mines to blast down a seven-mile barrier dividing the border town of Rafah.

The border breach was a dramatic protest against the closure of the impoverished Palestinian territory imposed last week by Israel.

Jubilant men and women crossed unhindered by border controls over the toppled corrugated metal along sections of the barrier, carrying goats, chickens and crates of Coca-Cola. Some brought back televisions, car tires and cigarettes and one man even bought a motorcycle. Vendors sold soft drinks and baked goods to the crowds.

The above paras were from AFP reporter. What’s happening in Middle East isn’t elusive to anyone. Plight of Palestinians is very different from us, perhaps because they don’t have the nukes, but if God Forbidden, let suppose, Pakistanis need to pour across, where would we go?

Iran? Afghanistan? China? India?

Where?
