| Palestinians Force Their Way Into Egypt | |||
| 2005-09-16 | |||
| Hundreds of Palestinians broke through Egyptian and Palestinian Authority lines on the Gaza border Friday, pouring into Egypt in defiance of government attempts to secure the frontier. It was the second afternoon in a row that the crowd was able to overwhelm the measures imposed in the morning to restore order on the Gaza-Egypt border, the Palestinians' only outlet to the world that avoids Israel. The surge started when Palestinians waiting to cross pelted their own security forces with stones at the Saladin gate, the main informal crossing on the border, in this border town. When the Palestinian security officials gave way, the crowd pushed through the iron gateway and tackled the Egyptian police.
'They look like they're running a system which has neither law nor order, neither organization nor authority,' Amos Gilad of the Defense Ministry's diplomatic department told Israel Army Radio. | |||

| #12 The Paleostinian Authority's credibility just went from negative infinity to an imaginary number. They are going where no organization has gone before! Join us for another thrilling adventure on the gate-breaking vessel POS Arafish as we navigate to and fro in Gaza between the Land of the Pharoahs and the Zionist Walled Country of Israel. |

| #11 You've heard of Paleo car swarms, right? That's when they scramble to a car that has just been hit by an IDF missile so as to, you know, pull out the sacred body parts of the now dearly departed Jihadi. This is just the same phenomenon, only aimed to border-crossing gates and fences. Next time Egypt, try electric fences and anti-personnel mines. |

| #10 THey all wanted to go shopping after Friday prayers? Could it be the local Imams put them up to this so they can cover smuggling operations? |

| #9 I made an extra large batch of popcorn this time.... lots of melted butter and extra salt, guaranteed to harden arteries and raise blood pressure just from the perfume. But I do have cold skim milk for those who want to make it a complete protein. ;-) Enjoy! |

| #8 How can they get past the gate? I thought they were Palestinians and were completely unable to live anywhere else in the entire world but in "Palestine." |

| #6 Palastinian Imperialism.... Can I get a ruling on that from Noam Chomsky?? |

| #5 I can’t understand why they don’t want to stay in the Gaza. Since the JOOOOOSS are gone it just has to be a paradise. |

| #4 I'm reminded of that old Belushi skit on Saturday Night Live, "The Thing That Wouldn't Leave"... |

| #3 Maybe they don't want to live under the rule of Hammas. |

| #1 This is obviously proof that the Paleos can be taught!! They were taught for years that if there is a border crossing or check point you riot. Well, someone forgot to teach them discrimination skills so they could tell the difference between allied gates and Jooooooo gates. Next, maybe they can be taught to build rather than destroy.............nah. |
