Fatah fighters bravely enter Egypt fleeing Hamas attacks
2007-06-15
Close to 100 armed Palestinians from Fatah crossed into Egypt from the Gaza Strip Thursday fleeing Hamas's military campaign, police said. The Fatah members, carrying AK-47 rifles, were received on the Egyptian side of the border in the town of Rafah by officials who had coordinated with the fighters prior to their arrival, said Capt. Mohammed Badr, a police officer in the northern Sinai Peninsula. Badr said the men would stay at a camp in Rafah used by the Egyptian central security forces.
A... ummm... refugee camp?
More than 200 Palestinians jammed on the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing Thursday, including women and children, crying and begging for the Egyptian authorities to let them enter Gaza. But they were not allowed to cross.

#6  Badr said the men would stay at a camp in Rafah used by the Egyptian central security forces.

Is that like when my parents said they were sending my dog to stay at a farm upstate where he could run and run?

#4  From the Song of Al-Robin,

...He is packing it in and packing it up
And sneaking away and buggering up
And chickening out and pissing off home,
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge...

#3  Reverse Exodus! Maybe they can wander for a few years (40?) until they arrive in the promised land of Egypt.

#2  So the Fatah fighters are escaping into Egypt and Palestinian women and children (amoung others) are lining up, crying and begging, to go into Hamas Terrritory?

Are they mad??

#1  Anywhere else, 100 tooled-up guys crossing the border might constitute some 'concern', but not in bizarro-land...
