Hamas Spent Months Preparing For Today’s Wall Blasting
When the wall, comes tumblin’ down…well some people, just ain’t no damn good, uneducated, obnoxious and lazy…
So this video we brought you earlier, of the border wall between Gaza and Egypt being blasted apart, was the culmination of a months-long operation by Hamas…
This is what happens when monkeys take over a government.
From an article in Times Online by James Hider:
As tens of thousands of Palestinians clambered back and forth between the Gaza strip and Egypt today, details emerged of the audacious operation that brought down a hated border wall and handed the Islamist group Hamas what might be its greatest propaganda coup.
Hamas, which took control of the coastal territory last June after a stand-off with Fatah, has denied that its men set off the explosions that brought down as much as two-thirds of the 12-km wall in the early hours.
But a Hamas border guard interviewed by The Times at the border today admitted that the Islamist group was responsible and had been involved for months in slicing through the heavy metal wall using oxy-acetylene cutting torches.
That meant that when the explosive charges were set off in 17 different locations after midnight last night the 40ft wall came tumbling down, leaving it lying like a broken concertina down the middle of no-man’s land as an estimated 350,000 Gazans flooded into Egypt.
The guard, Lieutenant Abu Usama of the Palestinian National Security, said of the cutting operation: “I’ve seen this happening over the last few months. It happened in the daytime but was covered up so that nobody would see.”
Asked whether he had reported it to the government, he replied: “It was the government that was doing this. Who would I report it to?”
Abu Usama, who normally works from a small guard cabin in no-man’s land, added: “Last night we were told to keep away from the wall. We were ordered to stay away because they were going to break the blockade.”
As Gazans flooded into Egypt, the strip’s Hamas prime minister, Ismail Haniya, called for an urgent meeting with his rivals in Fatah and with the Egyptian authorities to work a new border arrangement.

So Gaza becomes Egypt’s problem?

Condi is toast, as is the Bush peace plan.
That’s the trouble with going wobbly.
You just get remembered as the John Kerry tribute band.
Shame.
To me it looks more like Egypt just knowingly extended it’s borders into Gaza. I find it hard to believe that this could go unnoticed by Egyptian boarder patrols, a 1/4 inch gap extending even a short length along the base of a wall is just too damn obvious to miss. This should be a good lesson for U.S. Border policy that a shoot to kill order should be in effect should our Border Patrols encounter this kind of activity.
January 23rd, 2008 at 9:35 amHere is a solution, although a brutal one:
Israel opens fire with massed artillery upon Gaza until all of the Palestinians are forced to move into Egypt for good. Then Israel retakes the land that God gave to them by Covenant 3,500 years ago and doesn’t let any of the Palestinians come back. Problem solved.
