Hamas Threatens to Invade Someone (Egypt or Israel - can't tell which)
2008-04-08
Hamas official hints [April 8] at another Gaza border breach (AP)

A leading Hamas official says Gazans will storm into Egypt and Israel if they don't lift their embargo of the territory.

Khalil al-Haya says Palestinians in Gaza can no longer bear being confined to the strip and subjected to shortages of food, power and substandard health care [Hillary call your office on that health care thing]...

#9  Napalm through a high-pressure hose works great to put a stop to this. Only takes once. The survivors would rather walk to Libya over broken glass than face that again.

#7  Is there ANY pol in Israel with the balls to resist such a tactic? If I'm reading Yoni Tidi (he's a good Israeli blogger, for those who don't know who he is) right, his answer is "NO!"

Hamas will set it up so that women and children are in the lead and will take the most casualties. Israel needs to tell the world loud and clear BEFOREHAND that they will take whatever action needs to be taken, up to and including artillery and air strikes, to prevent ANYONE from breaching their border with Gaza.

Moreover, if there are casualties resulting from such action, the fault lies with those who chose to try a forcible invasion of a sovereign state, not with the defenders.

#6  The Israelis have some CIWS units. Just put these in front of the gate with a low-trajectory fire angle and I think the Paleo's will think twice about storming the gate.

#5  If they do, I'll bet the shopkeepers won't sell them a damn thing this time, they're still recovering all the counterfeit cash from last time.
