#1 Many in the sprawling cinder-block camp of 80,000 people fret that the spread of tunnels has given raiding Israelis leeway to flatten any housing in their way.

Most prolly think Mohammed was a saint too.

#5 Well it's not all bad. At least some of these gents are learning a trade. You can make $25 an hour if you're properly unionized and can get to West Va.

#7 Saw in a report some weeks ago that the big fear was the smuggling of Strela shoulder held anti aircraft missiles. The Israelis caught some smugglers a few months ago with them going from Sinai directly into Israel.

#8 But the tunnel issue has become the talk of the town, with many residents privately urging tunnel builders to cease, and threatening them and their families if they do not.

I'll bet the terrorists weren't counting on having their neighbors make terrorist threats against them. Oh wait ... it's what they all do for a living.

"If tunnels were only to support the resistance with arms, we would sacrifice all our houses but that hasn't been the case," said Nasr al-Abed, a camp neighbourhood committeeman.

Welcome to the hard realities of what happens when you let gangsters take control of your politics, Nasr.

#10 Is it possible that the common Palestinian, the one we often hear about, the innocent one who doesn't participate in the intifada, the one we thought was mythical - is it possible that he exists, and is finally getting a clue?

You know, that might be the best thing. If that moderate Palestinian does exist, and if he's finally getting fed up with Arafat and Hamas and those terrorist organizations, if he finally rises up - that could quite possibly be the first popular mass movement in Arab history. Maybe they might turn things around through a civil war. (I know, that's extremely optimistic, but I suppose anything's possible . . .)
