Finally the Egyptians understand that powerful fundamentalistic Islamic terror organization on their borders is not such a good idea.. allowing the organization to freely access your country is even worse.

" The network of tunnels is a vital lifeline for Gaza, bringing in an estimated 30% of all goods that reach the enclave and circumventing a blockade imposed by Israel for more than seven years. "

That is a ridiculously misleading statement. The journalist who concocted this should be embarrassed. Israel not only allows all civiliian supplies to cross into Gaza, Israel also supplies most of its electricity. The only thing that Israel insists on is checking what what goes into Gaza to keep rockets and rocket building materials out. To call terrorist supplies a "vital lifeline" is cynicism at its worst.

As the article shows, even islamist Egypt is hesitant about the growing arms buildup in that that jihadist hotbed called Gaza. "Vital lifeline"..... good grief.

Who are these pesky Gazans who think they are entitled to have gravel and cement?

Of course we all know they will just use it to build concrete tanks and concrete mobile artillery and concrete stealth bombers to attack Israel. Of course access to such materials must be stopped at all costs.

To me it just makes no sense having this so called Gaza Strip, I am not sure but both the Jews and the Palestinians could more in peace if all the Palestinians lived in the West Bank??
