| Olmert: We cannot keep Gazans from entering Israel |
| 2007-06-20 |
| While in New York, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that there was no way of preventing Gaza refugees from crossing into Israel via Erez crossing. He added, however, that the IDf had to ensure that no terrorists got through. Olmert also stated that an IDF operation in Gaza would not be the correct way to deal with the Hamas |

| #10 Israel has no interest in letting folks running from Hamas starve at the border. They are holding them back at the behest of Abbas, who probably A. Wants civvies unhappy with Hamas to stay in Gaza and be a problem for Hamas and B. Is afraid pro-Hamas folks are among the "refugees" While thats understandable, why the hell should Israel take the PR hit for Abbas? If he doesnt want them coming to the WB, he either has to say so, or he has to offer the Israelis something in return. |

| #5 Olmert said that there was no way of preventing Gaza refugees from crossing into Israel via Erez crossing I think that we need to employ a similar graphic like was on LGF a while ago, "Arafish says...", in this case "Olmert says...". Not any less fishy, if you ask me. Where there is a will there is a way. I can come up with at least a dozen simple ways to do the job, with minimal increase in resources and manpower. |

| #1 Well, if the refugees are getting more than lunch and free ride to the West Bank. I would say that you're too kind. |
