| Why Egypt Won't Mess With The Bedouins |
| 2009-03-06 |
| Egypt has refused to implement U.S. peace proposal for Gaza, that would halt the smuggling of weapons into Gaza via tunnels under the Egyptian border. The Egyptians officially say they will stop the smuggling, but they have been saying that for years. In practice, the Egyptians are not willing to take the heat, from their own pro-Palestinian population, and from the Bedouin tribes in the Sinai desert around Gaza, if they actually cracked down on the weapons smuggling into Gaza. Oh well, cease fire off. Unleash up the arty Moshe. Rest at link |

| #6 The Bedouins are an odd lot, and other Arabs are always careful not to mess with them. They will sell to the Paleos, but will take no crap from them. They rule Jordan, and the Jordanian secret police, which is why the Paleos mind their manners there, as a rule. If they cut up rough, the Bedouin would think nothing of slaughtering them like goats. |

| #1 I thought Egypt had been messing with the Bedouins for a while now, what with their designation as 'usual suspects' anytime there's an attack in Sinai? |
