Because Egypt is doing it right. They are establishing a buffer zone in their side of the border, and they are relocating (and compensating) their own people to arrange it. When Israel demolishes hosues it's Palestinians inside occupied territory. There is no comparison.

Wake me up when Egypt invades Gaza and starts building settlements there. Or when Israel decides to evacuate its settlements to create a buffer zone.

And closing the border crossings?

(And Egypt has an awful lot more space to use for a buffer zone.)
