#2 There is another link at that same BBC site, about the Israeli doctor in the West Bank. Nice story. But under the picture titled, ""the absurdity of the situation", they pedal that "the absurdity" is this good-hearted, loving mom lost two terrorist sons.

But check out the face of the daughter behind her. She's looking at the Jewish Dr. and you can see the hate and suspicion in her eyes as she accepts his help.

That, to me, is what sums up the "absurdity" of their situation.

#4 She's a bit foxy tho' that daughter - B, aren't you being a tad presumptive? She may just be having a bad day.

Seems to me an efficent way for the Israleis to handle the tunnel problem is to treat the dirt adjacent to this road as though there was a massive gopher infestation. Every 20 feet or so, dig a hole and place a stick of dynamite.

A dynamite kaboom yields cave-ins. Might bury a PLO or two while you're at it. Also you might see folks running to a house where the tunnel comes up. KBoom! again.

#6 Move the residents back 50km from the border. The only reason the tunnels work is that the entrances can be hidden in private dwellings. Will the EU bitch and moan? Sure, but they *like* seeing Israelis killed...
