#1 What a crock of Horsesh!t'

Viva Propaganda more like it.

One part of me wants the Israelis to take them up on their dare. Destroy the whole convoy and everyone on it. To the ground.

But as always, cooler heads will prevail, and they will be denied their propaganda victory.

The Israelis should keep the convoy parked in the desert and prevent it from moving. Play a wait and see game and see who blinks first.
Usually the agitators start crying after a few days without a shower and rest room facilities.

#2 Someone should send these idiots a map. You can't drive from Syria to Egypt without crossing both Jordan and Israel.

#4 phil_b,
As I pointed out the other day, Arab maps clearly show you only have to cross Palestine to get from Syria to Egypt. So they HAVE maps, just bad ones.

#5 El Arish was the scene of a devastatingly successful Israeli air strike on the first day of the 6 Day War. Just a history note, that's all. Honest.

#6 El arish was almost 'conquered' by Gazans in 2008 after the break in the Egyptian barrier. Many of the locals have retained bad memories of that time.

here is a quote from the wikipedia entry on the subject,

"In Arish alone, Gazans spent some US$250 million over five days.[7] Palestinians and Egyptians complained about soaring prices and shortages, especially of food.[42] Enormous demand for staple products from Gaza caused rampant inflation, as did the Egyptian government's decision to restrict goods coming into the border region in an effort to encourage the Palestinians to go back home.[42] Palestinians also accused Egyptians of price gouging, where prices have risen to the point where the cost of goods is suffiently high that supply matches demand."

#7 Israel has submarines, and it's difficult to determine where a particular torpedo was manufactured after they explode. Just saying...
