GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Egyptian forces pumped gas into a cross-border tunnel used to smuggle goods into the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, killing four Palestinians, Hamas officials said.

Egypt has been under pressure to seal off the hundreds of tunnels that are a key economic lifeline for the blockaded Palestinian territory but which are also used to bring in weapons for the Islamic militant group.

Hamas was too quick to condemn. If they had waited until cooler heads prevailed, they could have reported “Israeli forces disguised as Egyptians” etc.
See what happens when you forget the blueprint?
But not to worry the Obamalamadingdong regime will quickly point out that if the Israelis had not been building in Jerusalem, none of this would have happened.

In a correction not yet published, authorities found the source of the toxic gas which killed the tunnel Hamasimians.

The fatalities were linked to the synergistic effect of unwashed Hamasimian bodies, festering toe-lio odor, and Hamasimian gas resulting from their diet.

The persistent rumor that these deaths were due to gangrenous smallcox were not affirmed by autopsy.

These rumors may have been, in some way, related to the pathology team’s unusual demand for arm length rubber gloves.

Can anyone imagine if Israel had done something like this? The UN would be cranking out resolutions condemning Israel till the printers burned out, the college Hamas movement all over the world would burn down the universities and camel jockeys all over the world would be queuing up to be martyred. The MSM would go nuts. It would be headline of every newspaper: REMINISCENT OF NAZI DEATH CAMPS....ETC.
