Terror groups take advantage of Israeli permit allowing humanitarian goods into impoverished Gaza Strip, attempt to smuggle two tons of fertilizer in truck transporting aid in second such incident this week

Hanan Greenberg Published: 01.14.08, 19:01 / Israel News

Security workers employed by the Israel Airport Authority uncovered two tons of fertilizer used in the manufacturing of Qassam rockets on Monday afternoon, the substantial amount of explosive material was concealed in a truck allegedly transporting humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

The security officials manning the Kerem Shalom border crossing discovered the smuggling attempt during a random inspection of vehicles carrying humanitarian equipment and goods.

This is the second such incident to occur this week.

Despite the security restrictions and economic siege of Gaza, Israel allows the transfer of medical equipment and drugs into Gaza at the insistence of the World Health Organization.

Well hell, why not force Israel into a peace process. The timing is perfect.

This story will be IGNORED. Just like every other story that validates Israeli concern for border security.

But....but.....but....I’m sooooo confused. The President said he’s on a “timetable” to make “peace” with these “people” and Israel will have to make “painful conessions” to them to achieve “peace” [his Nobel peace prize he can’t wait to get].

Surely these “peace loving people” of the “religion of peace” have been misunderstood. [gasp, shock, oh horror]

All that fertilizer was actually for all those greenhouses in Gaza that the Israelis left intact back in August ‘05 and the “peace loving people” were just bringing all that fertlizer in to get the soil in the intact greehouses ready for spring planting to grow the crops to feed themselves so they wouldn’t be on the US/UN welfare dole. Huh? What’s that? You say they trashed the greehouses back in ‘05 remain on the US/UN welfare dole?! They don’t grow their own food to feed themselves and they destroy everything they touch?! The only thing they know how to grow are rockets?! But....but...but......they are our “partners in peace” and if only Israel would just “make a few more painful concessions”, everyone would be happy-clappy-joy-joy, and we’d all hold hands and sing Kumbaya as everyone and their sorry dog gets the Nobel damn peace prize.

Somewhere in Israel there is an Israeli John Bolton, who, given this situation, would immediately cut off all “humanitarian aid” routes to these serpents, tell them to grow their own food, supply their own electricity and water, and tell the UN and the Administration to kindly go kiss a stale month-old felafel [I actually mean something else, which I can’t say, or I’d be banned].

World HOs strike again. THe UN is unsecure, full of Islamofascists. Israel now has reason to cut off the WHO humanitarian aid. But you can hear the World HOs now , " The Israelis put it there themselves!"

So much for humanitarianism.

If they can make room for two tons of explosives on the food truck, the must not be all that hungry.

Shhhhhhhhhh. Obviously the fertilizer was simply that, fertilizer. How could anyone even think that the peace-loving arabs, from the non-existant nation of Palestine, would even be trying to smuggle in explosives. As long as everyone keeps their blinders on then the greatest president ever, GW Bush, will get his most awesome legacy before he leaves office.

Ain’t that the truth! “Legacy”......screw Israel, push to turn much of it over to the Amalekstinians....the legacy will be awsome, alright, especially when he has to answer to his Maker for it!

Something in the water in DC makes every President in the last 20 years think that in their last year in office they can make “peace” between Israel and the Amalekstinians and get that little ole legacy.

1) - Place 100# of C-4 in fertilizer (no time to mix diesel w/ the fertilizer)

2) - insert wireless detonators

3) - allow truck to continue

4) - watch truck closely until it reaches rocket factory

5) - draw straws to see who gets to punch the happy button

The Israelis should have just fused the explosives, let the truck through, and then detonated it remotely.
Voila! “Work accident”.

a). Hide explosives in a Red Crescent vehicle
b). Scream bloody murder when Red Crescent vehicles are checked in the security points.
c). Get lots of sympathy from the Left and bad press for Israel

It worked before, why not try again?

discovered the smuggling attempt during a random inspection

So how many trucks with similar loads weren't inspected and got through? This is the same mindset we have on our border that lets all sorts of evil through.
