#1 As I said before, about the only way Israel could stop this is by using those area denial weapons, the microwave dishes that make people fell like their skin is on fire.

The Paleos are now convinced that this human wave tactic will work, as it did during the Israeli retreat from Lebanon, and now the Egyptian invasion.

For once, the Israelis cannot screw around, try to pretend the situation away, try to act like nice guys, or use other half-assed measures.

They either act forcefully right at the start, or they are first going to be up to their eyebrows in Palestinians, followed shortly thereafter by a murderous bloodbath, with hundreds of Israelis dead and tens of thousands of dead Palestinians.

The asked for it, and they're finally going to get it.

#2 Anonymoose, that was the first thing I thought of.
Great minds think alike. ;-)

#3 maybe the paleo human wave will be mowed down or find a real good mine field

#5 Terrorists gravitate to the softest targets, and despite Hamas's posturing that is Egypt, not Israel. A paleo breakout into Israel aint gonna happen, although they may have a halfarsed attempt. It's going to be an interesting few weeks for Egypt.

#6 "This is not an imaginary scenario and many Palestinians would be prepared to sacrifice their lives,"

500,000 dead Paleos and, maybe, a few CNN, AP, Reuiters (sp?) "Arab journalists" as well.

A good start.

#7 It would be a good place for Israel to repeat their South Atlantic test.

#8 Dig a moat. An aquaduct from the med into Isreal along the Gaza border. Claim it's for humanitarian reasons. Build drawbridges to cross the moat. Raise the drawbridges. Force the pals to swim or wobble through mud or take small boats. All of which ensure they make a poor representation on the tube and aren't able to enter enmasse.

#9 Once you've got the moat you play Escape from New York with Gaza in the role of Manhattan.

#11 #8 Dig a moat.

Don't forget the aligators. And a sandbar in the middle of the moat full of fire ants. Import the Louisiana State Bird (mesquitos).

#12 Where's the 'last drop of blood' seething threat? I don't think they're serious yet, but just in case order more popcorn.
