#1 Sorry, guys -- absolutely no one cares.

As long as it is not done by you know who.

#2 They're going to dig a moat in the desert. That's ... impressive.
(I guess it's a side benny from widening the Suez Canal. All that excavating equipment...)

#3 I suspect the moat -- presumably filled with sea water -- will play merry hob with the Gazan groundwater, already becoming salinated from over-pumping from local wells. Unless Israel provides desalinated water, Gaza may become uninhabitable as a result.

#7 This is exactly what both the Israelis and Egyptians should do. The ground is higher above sea level on the Isreali side, so the buffer zone would have to be more like a kilometer wide to get a sea level moat at the bottom.

#10 ...Gaza may become uninhabitable as a result.
