Egypt's pumping of salt water from the nearby Mediterranean into the tunnels is not only creating a mess as it rises to the surface. Palestinian officials say it is also contaminating water supplies as well as threatening to wreck farmland and spread disease.

How biblical. They are salting the earth.
They could also consider stopping the lobbing of rockets and RPGs at Israel and I'm sure the Israelis would stop shooting back.

My question: Why isn’t the “Palestinian worker” shot?

Then STOP DIGGING TUNNELS, you ignorant vermin.
If they used their digging skills productively they would have struck oil by now.
Good! Anything to get the Satanic Arab murder gangs OUT of there... and back into their own Muslim countries... or better yet, send them directly to their Satan “god” so they can collect their 72 virgins. to HELL with them all, for all the murder, terror, mayhem, and suffering Moslems have caused, and continue to cause, innocent people everywhere on Rock Three
to HELL with them! anyone that can and is willing to do it, SUPER DUPER! ASAP!
Aw, shucks. [/s]
Gee.....another feel good story!
Pali Delenda Est anyone? Rome salted the land at Carthage after its final defeat, albeit from the surface to destroy its farmland. Although given
Pali farming skills destroying farmland there is redundant.
We’re not supposed to feel sorry for the smugglers because the government has figured out how to shut down their smuggling are we?
