#1 The Euro newspapers will not want to admit that the IDF at Kerem Shalom protected their monitors. I figure they will use all kinds of weasel words to cover it up (good chance the NYTimes will also).

#2 The European monitors fled to the Israeli border facility at Kerem Shalom

I laughed and laughed, then puked.

#3 Palestinian policemen angry over the killing of a fellow officer stormed the Gaza-Egypt border crossing Friday, firing in the air and forcing European monitors to flee and close the crossing for several hours, officials said.

The Paleos actually have cops? I always thought they were mostly thugs with badges...

#4 16 more resolutions and we can solve the problem. Sub contract it to Isreal.

#6 More hard evidence that the "Palestinian people" are nothing but sub-human savages completely at odds with anything resembling civilization. Maybe they should be removed to Europe, where they would likely be received with open arms. Birds of a feather, and all that.

#9 I thought Egypt was responsible for enforcing the agreement? Egypt should be cleaning out the Paleo-Terrorists and reopening the crossing. As for the Euro monitors they are all cowards who ran away from their posts. They are not reliable as monitors given that fact.

Where are all the Euro's with balls? Their Grandparents left for the US and they were born here. Europe is the weak kneed and spineless end of the gene pool. "Run away, run away." the motto of the EU.
