#1 The flaw in this is the assumption that Egypt would be willing to assume responsibility for Gaza. Why would any country other than Iran assume responsibility for Gaza?

#3 Egypt had responsibility for Gaza from 1948 until 1967. They even issued special postage stamps for "Palestine". Jordan had a similar arrangement for the West Bank. Frankly, both territories should be a part of Israel, and all the Arabs in Gaza either forced into Egypt or the sea, while those in the West Bank being forced into Jordan, Syria, or Saudi Arabia. That includes all the muslims in Israel. Any attack against Israel should be responded to with disproportionate force - say a tac nuke or two. After about a dozen such "reminders", Israel's neighbors should begin to get the message - Israel is not to be messed with.

#4 . . . lob missles back on a tit for tat basis

Helizaps are more precise ...

and precision is important for what reason, again? There's something much more satisfying giving back equally.

Frankly, I think precision targeting has allowed palis to have their cake and eat it too: they voted for Hamas and know they're not going to be killed for it. If they are killed it's only because they were being used as human shields.

#5 What Old Patriot said.

Unfortunately, demented people are running our governments and so we continue to feed the mouths that bite us.

#6 They can bring much more through a naval port. Think Nork freighters direct from Iran ...

Eventually, it would be tough navigating thru all the sunken Nork hulks. Argh, she be a treacherous sea, the Med; full of unseen dangers.

#7 "No matter how much we try and what we do, the humanitarian organizations consistently blame us for the humanitarian situation in Gaza. This way they will no longer have a case against us, since we won't be involved."

How nice to see Israel finally catching on to the no-win game being played by these so-called "humanitarian" agencies that are involved in this farce. Every single kindness is turned back against them while the slightest error is blatted about as the latest atrocity. Enough of this bullshit.

It will be more than a little entertaining to watch these "humanitarian" organization tiptoe through the minefield of administering directly to Palestinian goons and thugs. Let them finally get a taste of just how thankless a task it is to deal with these gangsters. More than anything, it's long past tea to begin exposing the lopsided and anti-Semitic politics of these terrorism-facilitating "human rights" groups. Not a single one of them has a speck of moral authority until they make a definite stand against the human rights abuses of shari'a law.
