Egyptian border guards have opened fire on Palestinians who breached the border to escape Israel's assault on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

An Egyptian security official said there were at least five breaches along the nine-mile border and hundreds of Palestinian residents were pouring in.

At least 300 Egyptian border guards have been rushed to the area to reseal the border, the official added on condition on anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the press.

A resident of the Gaza Strip side of the border, Fida Kishta, said that Egyptian border guards opened fire to drive back the Palestinians.

That operator most likely never knew she was there...

I agree. But she sure was asking for it. Typical lib. Thought that nothing would ever happen to her because she was "fighting for human rights."

[RetiredArmy]

Kinda like all us whites killing all them blacks, when it is really blacks killing other blacks that is the problem. A-rabs blame all the killing on the west or infidels, not themselves.

[SIDENET]

That thing rules!

It looks like it came out of some sci-fi movie.

[spikeytx86]

Nice to see you too and Happy New Year to you too!

Muslim outrage is a mania. Best example being their world wide riots over Muhammad cartoons.

We are witnessing the end of a manic era -— As far as economics go and I see deflation for a few years probably more

I predict the same effect on Muslim manias. A lot less of it

......Muslim outrage is a mania.......

The same is true of the American Left wing.

[DCPatriot]

But whatever happened to all that ..."Iran cannot be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons"....and the many variations thereof?

The USA didn't see a lull during Clinton's administration. They got bolder and we got 9-11 as a result of not responding. Obama will not prosecute the WOT at the same level George Bush has.

If the Muslims get quiet while Obama is president, it only means the next attack will be that more horrific.

[Syncro]

I shiver when I picture somebody not familiar with FreeRepublic lurking on a thread like this.

Oh my!

Too many FReepers 'read' like...whine whine whine etc etc.

You don't like it here much do you?

Sometimes Stooopid will get ya’ killed,,,

Ain't it strange that the libs Never want to go stand in

front of the rockets that moozzi launches at Israel !?...

[DCPatriot]

IMO, these militants are no different than any well funded drug cartel. There is no logical reason to lob missles from Gaza into Israel.

If the real reason is Israel not allowing farmers to attend their crops, etc., then it sounds like a UN thingy.

60 missles over the course of a week demands a mighty response, IMO.

[The Pack Knight]

Waitaminute... I thought it was Israel that was blockading Gaza. I'm confused!

[DCPatriot]

Maybe you should look at a map?

[Danae]

Now if they would only take that attitude with those that created and support Hamas. Iran.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

She was a wonderful person and a really strong leader..she had such wisdom and guts.

No problem with any confusion about whether she could run a nation and her bieng a woman...like maggie thatcher..HA!

And what a difference these women were in character, moral compass and courage when compared to Hillary, Pelosi, and now, ( introduced with laughter...) Caroline!

[The Pack Knight]

Oh yeah... those things. You see, I was just reading news articles that mention the Israeli “blockade”, and they don’t say anything about any Arab countries keeping the Palestinians from crossing the border. Huh, silly me...

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

wow..what a brilliant comparison.

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

That’s a nice one alright,,,

Brand new from the looks of it...

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

excellant point.

[Lurker]

There must me some apolitical Palestinians who just want to live in peace

Name two.

From that standpoint, it’s wrong to make light of people dying, don’t you think?

Nope. These dirtballs sowed the wind and now they're reaping the whirlwind.

I am quite unapologetically amused.

Just out of curiosity, are there larger models of this bulldozer? I could have sworn I saw one model which was much larger. Also, are any of them ( if there are more than one type ) armed with machine guns? Fascinating weapon.

Yes there are various sizes of these babies, and some are armed.
