#1 Those 2000 warm bodies could come in handy, should Israel decide/be forced to invade hamasland, to stop the ongoing rocketing of its civilians, or if a rocket lands in a kindergarden, and kills 20+ kiddies... kinda like the cement they brought in, and probably all the anti-armor weapons and others possible bad surprizes (like anti-aircraft weapons?), if hamas wants to imitate hizbollah. After all, it's all the rage in the arab world, it seems.

#2 "However, he added that Palestinian resistance factions are not interested in foreign fighters, .......~~but the Al Blowu Up brigade is looking for a few good suicide bombers, room 27 around the corner and on the left, thank you."~~

#5 Gaza is very, very tribal, and I don't think there are many hotels. Anyone not related to the locals may find himself sleeping in the street.

#6 A walking artillery barrage will take care of the problems, no matter how many Hamass "recruits" enter from Egypt. Do a double-walking-barrage exercise - one beginning at the seashore and working inland, one starting at the fenceline and working toward the sea. Walk 'em back and forth two or three times, then go in and see what's left. Sure it'll be hard on baby kitties and fluffy bunnies, but there won't be any Hamass "loyalists" any more. Maybe Israel can even ask the US to do an ARCLIGHT strike down through Gaza, just for effect. I can't think of any more just "reward" for Hamass' efforts.

#7 The Egyptians might be just nervous enough to encourage their utterly loony ultraviolent nut-jobs to go to Gaza, instead of stay home and try to overthrow the Egyptian government.

They figure, why should we kill them when either the Paleos or Israelis will?
