"Smuggling of various goods, from livestock to diesel oil, is both an essential and a profitable enterprise for Gaza"
Really nothing to say. It is such a ludicrous and outrageous statement it defies analysis.
"7 Palestinians killed in Gaza tunnel blast" by Reuters | July 28, 2009
GAZA - At least seven Palestinians were killed when fuel exploded in a smuggling tunnel beneath the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, Palestinian officials in Gaza said yesterday. The accident was one of the worst on record in the dangerous and illicit Gaza tunnel network.
Un-f***ing-real!
Of course, if they try to sail a ship in there then the thing is hijacked by Israel's Navy!
And THOSE TUNNELS are LIFE, stink-f*** Amurkns that are funding Iz-ray-HELL!!!! YOU WOULD DIG a TUNNEL TOO if IT WAS HAPPENING to YOU!!
And YOU MAY NOT HAVE LONG until you understand what a Palestinian feels like, Americans -- if you don't get your heads out of your asses!
Officials said the explosion and fire were caused by an electrical spark. More victims may be buried at the scene, the officials added. They gave no figure. Smuggling of various goods, from livestock to diesel oil, is both an essential and a profitable enterprise for Gaza. Hamas, the enclave’s Islamist rulers, have pledged to continue armed resistance against Israel, which has blockaded the area.
Israel says Hamas also imports weapons, explosives, and ammunition via the tunnels, which are dug by hand and privately run but ultimately under the control of Hamas.
Yup, even if they have nothing to do with it and Israel's agents do: The Gaza Rocket Squads
Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip from the dominant Palestinian Fatah group in 2006 after Israel unilaterally withdrew from the territory in 2005.
Yeah, EXCEPT HAMAS WON the ELECTIONS and the !!!!
"Hamas overwhelmingly won Palestinian Parliament elections in 2006"
WHY that is LEFT OUT of MOST ARTICLES is BEYOND ME!!!!
Hey, what is ONE MORE jewsmedia OMISSION or OUTRIGHT LIE, right, readers?
The network numbered several hundred tunnels along the border strip at Rafah by late December 2008, when the Israeli armed forces launched an offensive against Gaza that included aerial bombing of the tunnels. Israel’s stated goal was to end Hamas rocket fire into southern Israel.
You get sick of the one-sided Zionist bias. Nothing about Israel's war crimes, or the lack of rockets fired during the six-month truce, etc, etc. That's all I'm going to say.
Many tunnels were destroyed during three weeks of bombing, but quickly reconstructed later to meet the demands of trade.
Yeah, so those people aren't really suffering in Gaza.
Sigh, Look at this, reader: Sucking on a Dry Tit
Hamas wants Israel to open border crossings to normal trade, but Israel rejects any such agreement until Hamas releases Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier kidnapped three years ago.
How's that hotel room in Tel Aviv, Shalit?
How do we know Israel's assault didn't kill him?
Who benefits from obstinate Israel being able to wave that shit-ass soldier crd around, huh?
What about the ELEVEN THOUSAND PALESTINIANS in ISRAEL'S TORTURE CHAMBERS?!!!

Officials say 107 Palestinians have been killed in the tunnels since the beginning of the year.

And at least 14 Gazans die every day because of the war-criminal seige.

"Palestine Now and Then
"Palestine Now and Then
.... the wide array of violations and transgressions against the Arab community should come as no surprise. The Israeli community today has turned more militant and extremist than Israel has ever been, while the worse is yet to come.Israel’s defiance is fueled by a perceived notion of impunity and unyielding, unconditional support from the US and the West. Such defiance is also encouraged by complacency of some Arab regimes that choose to align with Israeli interest against aspirations of their own peoples.
In this sense, Israeli problem to many Arabs on the streets mirrors that of totalitarian dictatorships who are removed from people’s aspirations for life with dignity at home, and freedom for their brethren in Palestine.
Hamas is not going anywhere and will only grow stronger and more deeply rooted in the Palestinian fabric and the conscious of the billion and a half Muslims and the many more freedom lovers behind it. The world community may choose to reach out to their self designated foe and will definitely find them more pragmatic, credible, and trustworthy than any of the Arab faces they have chosen to deal with so far....
