File under: Hamas

#1 The Israelis should cut off everything ASAP. No fuel, food, water, anything. Give them to Egypt and say that they are no longer their problem. Anyone tries to cross the wall into Israel gets shot, however. And no Egyptian military or armored vehicles in Gaza, either. The place is a "demilitarized zone".

#2 Might have been better for everybody concerned if Egyptians had fired on the Paleo gunnies when they first started trying to breach the wall unless they are willing to deal with all of the ramifications and consequences both known and unknown.

Egyptian military in Gaza might be a good thing if they were willing to deal with Hamas. But if they're unwilling or unable to deal with Hamas it could lead to another clash between Israel and Egypt. Egyptian troops could get caught in the crossfire as IDF retaliates against Hamas missiles or other provocations. But if Egypt permits traffic across it's border, Israel's blockade is broken and it's also a can of worms for Egypt. Israel had it sealed but Egypt just let them out. Could be very dangerous. Hamas with fresh supplies and Egypt with an illegal immigrant problem which will certainly include destabilizing muslim whackos. What will Egypt do when the splodydopes start going off in Cairo?

#4 Israel should have nothing to do with Gaza except to lob ordinance there if Hamas gets frisky. Egypt can put the Gaza albatross on their necks.

Egypt does not want Gazans in Egypt, they are destabilizers. Well, enjoy Gaza, Mubarak.

#5 Egypt lost Gaza in the '67 war. Now they can have it back. They did such a good job integrating the Paleos from '48-'67, something the world tends to intentionally forget. /sarcasm off
