(IsraelNN.com) An explosion occurred a short time ago in the Taba Hilton, on the Egyptian side of the border. According preliminary reports from Magen David Adom emergency medical service officials, the cause of the blast was a gas tank.
There are unconfirmed reports of dozens of injured. The IDF has already ordered helicopters into the air and MDA is mobilizing to treat the many wounded in the blast. Details to follow as they become available.
It was - until the Saudis started their practice of dropping condemned men into the Red Sea from airplanes.
They say the sharks have developed a taste for human flesh now.
I don't think this is accurate. My kid has been snorkeling there the last two weeks, plus the open Red Sea and the populated areas of Saudi along the Red Sea are hundreds of miles away. It's like saying don't go swimming in Florida because of Haiti being unsanitary.
42 casualties reported by Egyptian media at "Nueba" in Sinai. Unknown identity of casualties.
Previous report said 10 casualties at another site in Sinai, Ras-A-Satan.
Egyptian media saying just 2 explosions in Ras-A-Satan area, not reporting explosion at Nueba area.
Now that is just wierd. How long after the event are we now, 3 hours?
But always! always! people are more important than objects.
I don't include these muslim jihadists as people or human, obviously.
Either that or it's like saying the sharks still swim the trade routes between Africa and the New World because of all the black slaves who were thrown overboard there in the 18th century.
Listening to Michael Savage radio show, he's furious with msnbc for not calling this what it is, in their scrolling headlines.
He said they are deceptive (what's new here?) and misleading by stating that this is an attack on Egypt.
Why are they not saying what it is?
An attack on Israelis by moslems!
I think there comes a time when we realize that this is politics AND religion. The separation of Church and State is a relatively new concept, historically speaking, and those in power have, since the dawn of time, been using the relative ignorance of the masses to create all sorts of systems which could be used to gain and keep power. Often, all it takes is a convincing story to gain converts, like the guy who castrated himself and then led those poor souls wearing Nikes into the great beyond. Or Jim Jones, who made Grape Kool-Aid famous. Then you have the Salem witch trials, the Spanish Inquisition, the Reformation, I could go on and on.
I'm afraid it's hopeless.....nice try though
More then two hours after terrorism and the incident (or incidents) has not even ended yet.
Israeli injured witness claims she saw a suicide female terrorist enter the lobby. No confirmation of this.
CNN International hasn't broken into my Dish network CNN FN YET

Islam also begets hate (try studying it). At some point, as has happened time after time throughout history, non-muslims rise up to combat the murdering rampage and world conquest that islam goes on every so often (called for in the koran, it is their islamic duty). Once again history repeats itself.
The rage against islam is once again starting. Cause and effect. Not that destroying the pyramids is a brilliant idea, they have absolutely nothing to do with islam and should be protected.
Things don't always turn out as first reported and I was taking a wait and see and giving Egypt the benefit of the doubt. I got to thinking , wouldn't any country immediately close their borders in an attack and screen who went in and out? I really hope their response was better than these first reports though. Praying for the victims.
Israel calling on Egypt to allow its helicopters to land in the area and evacuate injured. (Israeli news portal Walla)
This coming from somebody who thinks blowing up the pyramids is a good idea or has any relationship to this fight against islam. hmmm......
Ynet:

Now that is just wierd. How long after the event are we now, 3 hours?
