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.

Tonight Barrie O was broadcast saying something to the effect that: “if bombs were raining down on my little girls I would want to do something about it too.” This was in reference to the rockets that have been landing in Israel the past few weeks.

“Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.” [re illegal immigrants]

Prince William Co. in Virginia began a very strong campaign against illegals, including stopping and questioning anyone for papers, even if they were doing nothing visibly illegal. The also work closely with INS to arrest illegals for being illegal. Subsequently, police were only permitted to question papers if the person was caught doing something criminal.

The result is that PWC has by far the highest rate of foreclosures in the area. Many empty houses. Some substantial number of tax paying businesses have lost more than 50% of their client base. Even people who were legal have reacted by moving to neighboring jurisdictions. I think quite a lot of PWC citizens are rather upset with the results of their crackdown.

Outstanding......but for real PALEOFISTINKIAN burying power meet the Komatsu 575.

"If the D575A-3SD was just set to drive in a straight line it would carry on through houses, buildings, forests you name it, until it either ran out of fuel, went into a lake or came across a cliff.

Weighing over 300,000 Lbs the Dozer is powered by a turbo loaded, drawer air cooled 12 cylinder 46.3 litre engine delivering a massive 1150 HP at 1800 rpm. It has the total pushing-pulling power of 485,000 Lb that's nearly half a million Lbs !! The blade itself weighs over 22,000 Lbs and is 24 feet 3 ins wide and 11 feet tall."

Staggers the imagination!!

That quote is from July.

The odds of the Hamas controlled Gaza strip being hope to timid, peace loving Palis is slim to none. Not even the Egyptians are dumb enough to subscribe to that.

I perceive your post as as being on the lighter side of darkness

Correct. I'm not Hitler -- I'm Hitler-Lite^TM

I wouldn't have gassed the Jews, but I might have given them all really bad noogies.

“Refugees”?? They’re not “refugees”, they’re outcast who never had a country to take refuge from....and now they’re thoroughly ruining their chances to have a country they can take refuge IN. Even the MEDIA has almost quit calling them refugees. Sheesh!

[cake_crumb]

“Palestine” is not and never has been a country, a culture or a race. It’s an empty status tag, like African Americans who say you’re not black unless your ancestors were slaves.

[SentForth5]

Right on!

holdonnow....

Countries have borders?

[HonestConservative]

All God’s children better be prepared to defend themselves and their homes, clearly our government is interested in doing everything but their assigned duty.

[bigheadfred]

Countries have borders?

At least the Egyptians think so.

I am already involved in the political landscape and started a site/service called Raging Debate.com in August. A think tank has been started of some of the brightest economic and political minds which are what I call emerging leadership. Since I am in Consumer Healthcare, I wage the political war and contribute what I do best - in information technology.

The United States will kill it’s enemies. When we win large victories as in Iraq, I celebrate the victory. But I do not celebrate the loss of life on either side. I understand mankind’s destiny of societal evolution which is consolidation through theft or war. I also believe in Christ who admonished us to pray for our enemies. I pray we do not have to annihalate them and they see the error of there ways. But make no mistake, this last final conflict now brewing will be the largest and most destructive war in history. Every family in America will suffer casualties. But I will still pray for my enemies even as I point the barrel of a gun at them and pull the trigger.

I understand your position. My nephew is Sgt. Evan Vela. My heart is hardened. I make no apology. I see no escape for what is coming. The Moslems are what they are and will not change. I see them all as complicit in the “unrest”. So I feel no pity for any “civilians” caught up in the carnage.

Good Grief...oddly, the drive by media missed that one. I see they also intend to conquer Rome ~ not Italy, just Rome.

There's not much in the way of textbooks at the Palestinian University For The Criminally Insane, is there?

[Niuhuru]

Sounds like everyone is fed up with them. About time too.

They do have a fine art department though. The "final" though really is final.

“. I see they also intend to conquer Rome”

I don’t think they would succeed. If they tried to turn Rome into a Muslim country, they’d get the crusade they’ve been begging for.

” Israel and Egypt seem to understand the importance of defending their borders. What’s up with us?”

The Israelis and Egyptians understand and face reality more than we do in certain respects. They face death and destruction on a daily basis. They do not have time to play at war and battle the way we do.

[Niuhuru]

“We are witnessing the end of a manic era”

You get that feeling too? I think people are going to slow down and all the recent crackdowns against Muslim radicals is a sign of it. People are fed up with all the worldwide temper tantrums Muslims have been throwing and want to have peace and stability to rebuild their lives after this crash.
