#1 Why do they need money in Gaza anyway? Supposedly the Israeli blockade is so effective that people are dying in the streets from starvation. There is nothing to buy - the UN gives them food (except for the part that Hamas steals). They can't buy weapons inside Gaza - they all have to be imported, so they will be bought (or donated) elsewhere. So why is Iran sending money into Gaza?

#5 SPM, I believe we are giving/have given Egypt all sorts of sensors to detect Gazan tunnel digging, plus a unit of US Army engineers to install and monitor them while teaching the Egyptians. The problem is that the smuggling trade sends tens or hundreds of millions of dollars per year into the Egyptian economy, not to mention as bribes to the Egyptian troops and officials in a position to stop the flow. So there has been a very powerful financial incentive to turn a blind eye to the situation.

Separately, please don't use all caps in your posts -- it looks to the reader like you are shouting, which I'm sure is not your intention.

#6 ION IRAN, TOPIX/YAHOO NEWS > US WILL TALK BUT IS READY TO ACT/STRIKE PREEMPTIVELY AGZ IRAN; + ISRAEL FORUM > IRAN PLANS TO SEND FOUR MORE SATELLITES INTO ORBIT.

Iff history is any measure, the next practic step for IRAN is to conduct LR Missle accuracy test{s), then to test-explode their own indigenous Nucbomb(s), UNLESS NOKOR, PAKISTAN, + OTHER PRO-NUCLEAR MUSLIM STATES WISH TO DO IT FOR THEM ALA NUC "FRANCHISING"???
