Ynet News reported that US and Egyptian soldiers paired up in recent weeks in a project to uncover Palestinian weapons’ smuggling tunnels; 42 tunnels discovered in less than a month.
But how many tunnel are there between Gaza and Egypt?
The Daily Telegraph reports that on some estimates there are now up to 500 passageways across to Egypt, mostly clustered around the town of Rafah, which straddles the border.
So lets do the maths:
42:500 = 8.4% - Oops!
That’s less than 10%. That doesn’t sound like American technology is stopping Hamas? No wonder the flow of weapons into Gaza doesn’t stop.

I was wondering what Tony Blair’s sister in law was doing while being stuck in Gaza. Well she is going on a shopping tour and making pictures from herself and the arch terrorists Achmad Yassin and late Yassir Arafat.
Well the choice is hard of what poster to buy!
She’s got her purse in the hand already - did she made a choice?
Not sure, first a call to one of the activist that are already back home to check if the prices are alright.
The choice is done and the deal is sealed. It’s Achmed Yassin - what a great picture for her home back in England!

Lauren Booth, a human rights activist who is also Tony Blair’s sister-in-law, said she is effectively trapped inside Gaza after being prevented by Israeli and Egyptian authorities from leaving.(Telegraph)
Isn’t that funny? Doesn’t she know she could do more if she stayed on the ground? AH, but that would take actually living there, which is impossible. The PA would not allow it…their cover would be blown…..All the lies they tell would be found out!

The foreign ministry indicated that Israel is preparing for a confrontation with two boats of activists that are sailing towards Gaza in an attempt to break Israel’s naval blockade of the region. The group set sail from Cyprus Friday afternoon and are expected to arrive Saturday afternoon.
Meanwhile Israel Army Radio reports that the organizers of group lost contact with the boat. I am really wondering what happened…

Arutz 7 reports that:
The Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) in Gaza warned Thursday that the temporary ceasefire may end in three weeks, when the Muslim holy month of Ramadan begins. The month is frequently marked by an increase in terrorism.
This is what a PRC spokesman is saying:
“The Zionist occupation has not yet agreed to the demand to release our prisoners, so our fighters are preparing for the next round in which we will try to abduct more Israeli soldiers to swap them for our hero prisoners”
Only talks? No, see what an Islamic Jihad leader has to say:
Al-Quds Brigades is currently preparing the combatants and stabilize their military and field, development of internal communications among themselves, to carry out military operations successfully.
“There is a large number of martyrs and martyrs who are waiting for the zero hour.”
Looks like we are soon getting into an other round of hostilities. Scary is that not Israel is determining the path of action, but the enemy!
Meanwhile Maan News is reporting that Israel has agreed to support the efforts of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the United States aimed at strengthening Palestinian security forces. Meaning more weapons to the Palestinians!

The Palestinian Maan News Agency reports that Masked men attacked the Ibad Ar-Rahman tourist village in to the north of Gaza City, setting fire to the village, stealing property, and handcuffing and beating security guards on Wednesday.
The Director of the facility said:
“the village was established two months ago for entertainment of students and their families along to teachers and workers of the school during the summer vacation”.
Was this maybe on of those Gaza summer camps? Are maybe some parents not willing anymore that their children get educated to become martyrs?

Hamas Spokesperson Fawzi Barhoum said that:
“Barak’s declarations show that the Israeli government failed to cope with Hamas and the Palestinian resistance’s steadfastness, and they also failed because the Palestinian people supports the resistance.” (from Maan News)
Further he added:
“Barak and his fruitless government do not know that if they commit such follies, they will pay a heavy price. Violence, cruelty and terrorism can’t provide occupation with safety and security.”
Now we reached the point that they are laughing at us.

Gunfire and explosions shook Gaza City on Saturday as Hamas forces battled fighters in a tribal stronghold where suspects in a deadly bombing were allegedly hiding. (Maan News)
Why do Hamas and Fatah kill each other? Why do Iraqis commit mass murder upon their fellow citizens? Why do the Lebanese shoot and blow each other up (Sunnis, Shiites, Alawaits — you name it). Why have they all repeatedly tried to exterminate Israel? Its not because of ideology. It`s because they have the weapons, that`s why.

Palestinians? Who are you? Are you from this planet or aliens?
what is wrong with you? You are doomed, doomed. you will never ever manage to have your own state, just look at you. You are the laughing stock of the entire world. We here are shaking our heads and even those that are anti Israel are sick and tired of your stupidity and antics.
So, if you can’t kill israelis, you end up killing yourselves. Amazing. Do you know how to do anything except hate, kill, fight, terrorise, build bombs, pray, do nothing with your lives, etc…?
