Israel-Palestine-Jordan
'Don't rule out more border breaches'
2008-02-10
"Don't rule out the possibility of hoards of Palestinians bursting through the borders of Israel and Jordan just like they did at the Rafah border crossing into Egypt," Hamas's deputy leader Moussa Abu Marzouk warned on Saturday.
I'm not sure who'd be rougher on the Paleos, the Israelis or the Jordanians.
In an interview with Qatari newspaper Ayam, Marzouk said that Hamas would carry out suicide bombings "as required," and insisted that Israel could not break the spirit of the Palestinian people.

When asked if the Palestinians were likely to mass on the Israeli and Jordanian borders, Marzouk responded, "I believe that all possibilities and options are open," adding that if left with no choice, the Palestinian people would be prepared to carry out actions like breaching the borders. Hamas's deputy leader went on to say that as far as he is concerned, by such actions, Palestinians would rid themselves of the siege imposed on them by Israel.

#6  West Bank Palestinians would have to breach the Jordanian border, the PA's neck-of-the-woods. Do you think Abbas would help Hamas in this situation?

I think we're closer to having Hamas sending thousands of civilians intermixed with terrorists to Israeli crossings. I'm surprised they haven't done it yet. Civilians killed, terrorist infiltration, and world outrage directed at the Israelis.

#5  That the Jordanians would be rougher is academic; you know who would be singled out for blame.

For the past week, the reality has been the broaching of the Egyptian border by Hamas/Gaza, yet the Israeli "massacres" continues to be the story.

#3  "I'm not sure who'd be rougher on the Paleos, the Israelis or the Jordanians."

Considering the paleos tried to kill the King of Jordan, and considering that he doesn't give a rat's ass about the whining of the Western MSM, I know which way I'd bet on that one. :-D

#2  I think it's a very good place to try out those "less than lethal" audio and laser devices that our senior politicians haven't got the guts to use. And the modified ship defense guns per the green zone anti-mortar systems.
