Daily Kos blames Israel for forcing the Egyptians to open fire.

The Egyptians were only protecting their supply of cigarettes, plasma TV's and the virtue of their goats.

Dogs and cats living together . . . MASS HYSTERIA!

A gesture of solidarity with their Muslim brethren, no doubt.

Popcorn time. I pray that Israel does not stop until the mission is completed. These other countries will respond in their own best interest, nobody wants the pali monsters.

John McCain said the American Egyptian border breaches are not an issue.

Perhaps someone in Egypt has a longer memory than the Palis. Something about a certain 6 day timeframe lurks.

Perhaps now Hamas will see that Iranian backing does not guarantee universal immunity.

Ooohhh... this could go very bad, very quick...

I get the feeling the Egyptians don't much like the Palestinians.

Quick note, this is NOT what I am hoping for. I hope all will end quickly, with little loss of life, and peace will reign throughout the land.

I am only saying that just a couple of more little things could be the start of a much larger conflict (Archduke Ferdinand, anyone?).

Hamas TV: 180 killed from Hamas military

Hamas TV: 180 killed are from Hamas armed forces Among those killed Hamas Police Commander, Tawfik Jaber Hamas TV acknowledged this morning that the vast majority of those killed are from the Hamas military. A news ticker running repeatedly from 10:00 AM announced: "More than 180 Palestinian policemen were killed including the [Police] Commander, General Tawfik Jaber."

In the background Hamas TV is repeatedly broadcasting the same scenes of dozens of bodies of the uniformed Hamas soldiers who were killed in Israel's first attack yesterday when Israel hit the Hamas officer's course graduation ceremony.

re: #9 Pastorius

Egypt doesn't want to HELP the palis, they just want the Jews to vacate Israel, and give them "their" land back. One thing that often gets overlooked; If all of these Arab and Muslim countries were so compassionate for the plight of the poor palistinians, why don't they offer them solace and protection within their own countries?

Answer: They don't really care about the plight of the Palestinians, they just want a quick and convenient way to rile up their own population (the JOOOS are killing our poor Palestinian brothers! Rise Up!), and actually HELPING them doesn't achieve that.

re: #26 Alouette

I linked a Fox article earlier that specifically said that by virtue of the fact that Gazans had entered Egypt, the Egyptians were forced to open fire.

Because, of course, Egyptians can massacre fleeing civilians. But Israeli precision targeting of Terrorist personnel and structures is a holocaust and massacre.

Remember the vast majority of Gazans are descended from people who got kicked out of Egypt only a hundred years ago or so.

Absolutely. The fact that the Palestinians have festered for decades in wretched "refugee camps" is due more to the Arabs using them as pawns than to anything Israel has done.

From Cair:

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 Dec. 28/PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A prominent nationalIslamic civil rights and advocacy group today condemned Israeli Egyptianattacks on theGaza Strip that left more than 200 people dead and called the death toll a"massacre carried out using U.S. taxpayer-funded weapons." More than 700people, including women and children, fuzzybunnies and cuddleypuppies were injured in the attacks.
SEE: Israeli Strikes Kill 229 in Gaza (Reuters)[Link: tinyurl.com...] google it

The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said ina statement:

"Despite the public 'green light' given to the Israeli military Egypt by theBush administration, American Muslims join our fellow citizens who respectinternational law and the sanctity of human life in repudiating this massacrecarried out using U.S. taxpayer-funded weapons.

"It must be clear by now that the only future offered to the Palestinianpeople by the outgoing administration was one of perpetual subjugation andhumiliation at the hands of the Israeli occupiers. crazy infedilEgyptians. Unfortunately, our nation'stimid response to this tragic episode will only serve to fuel anti-Americansentiments in the Muslim world we hope.

"We therefore call on President-elect Obama to demonstrate his commitmentto change our nation's current one-sided Mideast policy by speaking out now infavor of peace and justice for all parties to this decades-long conflict.
make this stop as he told us he would in aphone conversationthat nevertook place.
"We also call on world leaders to take direct action to end Israel'scounterproductive and wildly disproportionate attacks and to end thehumanitarian siege of Gaza, which led to the recent breakdown of theceasefire AND then performed a zionistmindmeld on Egyptians forcingthem with evilrays to kill other Muslim peaceful types."

CAIR noted that the European Union (EU), Russia, the UN Secretary-General,the Arab League, the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), and otherinternational bodies are all urging Israel to end it attacks and stop making Egyptians do their dirty deedswith mindtricks.

you still have your receipt?...wow talk about organized

From the text above:
"Israeli aircraft earlier bombed the border area in an apparent attempt to destroy cross border tunnels used to smuggle weapons and contraband into the Gaza Strip."

Ahem.
The Jerusalem Post had this report, earlier:
"IAF jets struck 40 smuggling tunnels connecting the Palestinian and Egyptian sides of Rafah, a Gaza Strip border town which has become a main entry point into Gaza of weapons, dynamite and other smuggled military equipment and consumer goods. According to reports, the bombing took a total of four minutes."
Doesn't look much like an 'apparent attempt' to me, especially taking into account that no foreign journalists are allowed into Gaza - and the people in Jerusalem might, just might, have perhaps access to some better sources.

This shit could get serious.

there was another lizard in another thread who had the best suggestion - its going to be a ring of steel around gaza - cutting off the egypt border.. and with only the sea as an escape route.

artillery will be moved in , and an ultimatum served.

then the carpet bombing starts.

that sort of scenario would minimise IDF casualties, save for the offensive to take the southern border - which will be costly, no doubt about it.

Helping them is also dangerous. Consider what happened in Jordan and Lebanon.

Yawn, and the same cycle begins again- attacks, reprisals, UN condemnation, brokered peace, broken peace- yadda yadda yadda. When there is all out peace or war give me a wake up.

Residents have also commandeered a bulldozer to open new breaches.

What brave regular ordinary people, one imagines.

It simply amazes me the way Israel is to solely to blame for the suffering that the Pallies bring on themselves. It is Israel who must open it's borders (and expose its people to the violence of these savages). It is Israel who must allow humanitarian supplies (and military contraband) to enter Gaza.

One never seems to hear about the Islamic "brothers" in Egypt who limit movement of these homicidal bastards in the same way. In fact, as this incident shows, often in more severe ways than the Israelis do.

One other thought. We hear the term "collective punishment" an awful lot these days coming from the savages and their apologists to condemn Israel. We hear that the "innocent" are suffering on account of a few bad actors. Hamas was overwhelmingly ELECTED by the Pallies to represent them. The voters knew precisely what Ham-ass stood for and knew full well their goals and tactics.

Their hysterical cries are those of a wimp who kicks an MMA heavyweight in the kishkes, expecting to get sympathy after the inevitable beat down to follow. Sadly, there are many outside even the twisted hell-hole of the Islamic world who rush to shed tears for them.

This fact cannot be over stressed or repeated often enough.

It's incredible that this Egyptian wall hasn't gotten more press attention.

NJDhf -

Pray tell - why is HAMAS-TV still on the air? Their studios are gone, so someone is giving them access to satellite transmission. Question is who.
A little RF triangulation might be in order.

The Egyptian border patrol are fast with their guns. In the last couple of years they've shot quite a number of Sudanese refugees trying to make it into Israel. (Ergo, people who were clearly no threat to Egypt, since they were trying like hell to leave.)

The press has criticized Israel's racist behavior in keeping Sudanese refugees in detention.

If anyone has the energy to make the obvious comments about the Muslim world, civil rights, violence, and the double standard applied to Israel, go right ahead, I am not ruining a nice Sunday afternoon by raising my blood pressure.

Don't forget who occupied "Gaza" for 19 years- without giving citizenship or rights to the occupants...

1948 - 1967 EGYPT occupied "Gaza strip".
