Gaza tunnels going out of business
2010-07-16
Another take on the post we had the other day.
Smuggling tunnels linking Egypt and Gaza have been called a lifeline for Palestinians during Israel's stifling three-year blockade of the Palestinian territory.

But now that Israel is allowing more goods into Gaza, the smugglers have started going out of business.

More than 150 tunnel operations have closed and thousands of people risk losing their jobs.
I'm sure arms trafficking will pick up the slack.
Cheez, even Gaza has suffered in the Obama depression ...
Al Jazeera's Nicole Johnston reports from Rafah, where the once busy smuggling bussiness has turned strangely quiet.
Video report at link.

#6  They used to tell me I was building a dream
And so I followed the mob
When there was tunnels to dig
Or jooos to kill
I was always there right on the job
They used to tell me I was building a dream
With peace and glory ahead
Why should I be standing in line
Just waiting for UN bread
Once I dug a tunnel
Smuggled guns
Made it race against time.
Once I dug a tunnel
Now it's done
Mahmoud, can you spare a dime?
Once I shot a rocket
Up to the sun
No idea where itÂ’s gone
Once I shot a rocket
Now it's done
Mahmoud, can you spare a dime?
Jumped through flaming hoops
Gee we looked swell
Full of that “to the last drop of blood”
Half a million boots went flying under beds
And I was left holding the bag
Say, don't you remember
They called me Mo
It was Mo all the time.
Why don't you remember
I'm your pal
Mahmoud, can you spare a dime?
