#1 estimates some $60 million was lost by thousands among Gaza's 1.5 million population, from housewives to wealthy merchants, who ploughed cash through middlemen into expanding the tunnel network

If anybody thinks the Gaza "Civillians" are innocent, this one statement, should be proof enough, To raise 60 million, damn near every person in Gaza had to contrbiute.

#3 I think we should let the Israelis test our new bunker-buster bombs on the Gaza tunnels. A solid wave of explosives laid from the Med to the Israeli border with Egypt should do wonders. Use explosives to dig a canal 100-150 feet deep from the Med halfway to Eilat and watch the tunnel business wash away - literally.

#4 Overkill ... they're intended for hardened targets carved into mountains.

Like the one at Qom.
