#1 Since Israel tightened its blockade on the Gazoo Strip in 2007, goods smuggled in from Egypt through underground tunnels have provided a lifeline to the coastal enclave

hello? Welcome to 2012? Time to update your meme, Journo-tool

#2 Appears Barakeh will not get his Gazoo Tunnel Digger merit badge. Interesting how these tunnel digging chores appear to be the domain of "young men." Drinking chai, smoking smuggled US cigarettes and talking kak with the boys appears to be a privilege of age and rank.

#3 Whenever the word "blockade" appears in such a story, you know it's just lefty agitprop. Any true blockade of Gazoo requires Egyptian participation. Wake me when the Israeli's shut off the water.

#4 Gazoo officials say over 160 young men have died at work in smuggling tunnels, but with a lack of alternatives many are still drawn to the hazardous profession.

Hmmmmmm...Is there a waiting list for the jobs at the five star restaurants and the new malls?
