Israel May Retake Gaza-Egypt Border

(Jerusalem) Since the Israelis vacated the Gaza Strip, weapons have been arriving from Egypt at a disturbing and deadly rate. Given that they are then used against the Israelis, it's logical to take action to stop the supply.

From AlertNet:

Several Israeli cabinet ministers called on Sunday for a military operation to retake control of Gaza's southern border and prevent Palestinian militants smuggling weapons from neighbouring Egypt.

"Action must be taken without hesitation. Any hesitation is dangerous and we must act immediately," Industry and Trade Minister Eli Yishai of the religious party Shas told reporters.

It's estimated that tons of weapons and ordnance have been smuggled into Gaza from Egypt via tunnels. The flow needs to be stopped but nothing will likely happen prior to Prime Minister Olmert's Washington trip, scheduled for mid-November. Of course, any action by Israel will be reported by the elite media as unwarranted aggression.

1 "Any hesitation is dangerous and we must act immediately,"

These are words to live by when confronted by an implacable enemy.

3 Time for some more disproportionate response I'd say. This time without succumbing to the peace-niks or the United Negations. Just noticed I'm low on beer and popcorn, I'll be back shortly ....

4 Unless the Israelis get smart and vote out the lefturds they've saddled
themselves with, things are just going to get worse, and the same goes
for us. Of course, the longer lefturds stay in power the sooner we
reach the point where nothing less than a catastrophic backlash is
possible. If we let things keep going this way until the inevitable
happens, i.e., full blow war of every muslim country against us, then
we know we'll win, and we can sort out all the domestic scumbags as
well. I'd say Israel will be the first to respond with a nuke, and
we'll be second, but the real question is as to who will be the first
to use a nuke. Regardless, let the future come, and we will get exactly
what we deserve, collectively speaking, because we could have prevented
it all along if we wanted to. Like I've said elsewhere; a good
bloodletting is what we need to relieve the fiery humors that plague us.

5 Larry,

not nearly disproportionate enough-- as attested to by the fact that the paleos are still breathing.

I agree, not because I want it to be true, but because it's an observable truth.  There can be no negotiated peace until one side is tired of the bloodshed.  Paleos have never been allowed to die in large enough numbers to tire them.  Even the Jordanians killed more paleos on Black September than Israel has killed in 60 years of war with them.

7 Damn right Carlos. A point that never seems to come out. Wonder how many Paleos ahve killed each other? Far more the the Israelis ever killed. You can bet on that.
