| All-out war in Gaza Strip is a bad option for Israel, but all other alternatives are worse |

| #8 It seems to me is that the arabs use the paleos as a knife in the not so soft underbelly of Israel. The arab states do not want the paleos around as they tend to destabilize the country that they are in. You obviously have a high level of corruption in Egypt, or no tunnel industry could exist. Gaza could be cleaned out, but where would you put the Gazans? It is a vital question. They do have permanent victim status. It seems to me that Israel needs to get its energy security situation squared away so that they do not depend upon Egypt. Then they need to have a phased plan to eliminate providing electric power and water to Gaza. Then they seal the border with Gaza and throw the monkey on Egypt's back. The humanitarian gestures of paleos going to Israel must sadly stop, too. But the biggest issue is going to be population pushback in Gaza, as rocket launches would eventually be able to made anywhere in Gaza and hit Israel. |

| #7 as an attack from Egypt; ditto for Jordan and said attack will be viewed as an act of war with IMMEDIATE consequences. |

| #6 Or they could contact the Jordanian / Egyptian governments and say that they recognize the West Bank / Gaza as officially part of their respective states effective 01MAY12. And any subsequent attacks from Gaza will be viewed as an attack from Egypt; ditto for Jordan/West Bank. Would certainly encourage better policing. |

| #5 I've been hollering this for three years now. The more we wait the more difficult the war will be. And if we wait long enough, the Gazooans will bring the war to us and rocket Tel Aviv to ruins. I hope Hillary and O'bambi don't forget to send the Paleo's the promised $75M in economic help, they are running out of explosives....... send them some money ... quick! |
