I see said the blind man.

What happens when you make a tunnel collapse by flooding it as the Egyptians so proudly proclaim as an edge they have over Israel in dealing with them? Are there any engineers out there who could shed light on what potential damage could be caused to buildings situated on top of these tunnels if they collapsed? I think you can see where I'm going with this questioning. Because ANY damage to the surrounding "civilian" houses, etc caused by this would ALL be heaped on Israel. You can hear the charges now from morons from far and wide.

But these people are very good at digging tunnels, why then don't they dig up a new sewer system in Gaza to save themselves from drowning (last week) Oh silly me, a sewer system can not be used to kill us Israelis.....

So Egypt could handle the tunnels during the intifada when Rafah was closed and that was not a problem for the Egyptians..... But now that the Egyptians are responsible for security they cannot deal with the tunnels....... Egypt now deciding that the use of tunnels is not a "lawful" way to cross the border....... As if such were "lawful" during the intifada when Egypt wasn't bothered....... So at the end of the day the Egyptians blame Israel .... inferring that Israel couldn't deal with the tunnels when the tunnels weren't a problem for Egypt..... apparently using the excuse that the tunnels "don't have a map"..... As if the constantly renewed tunnels "had a map" when Israel was responsible for dealing with them ....... Now that the tunnels pose a threat to Egyptian security Egypt is apparently prepared to strike those responsible "with an iron fist"..... if they can find them of course. If they can't then it is Israel's fault anyway........ Now the Egyptians fear that the Sinai may become a battlefield between the Palestinians and Israelis...... This shouldn't really be an issue because the Israelis don't use the tunnels........ If Egypt stopped the Palestinians using them from their side of the border then this should solve the problem. But they didn't during the intifada, so why should they do so now when they have a common agenda with those using the tunnels...... oops!

Now Iran has an arm and leg beside Israel acting as a pincers. On the left is Hamas and north is Hizbollah. Both these groups are funded by and trained in Iran. And they are fortifying themselves for the next order from Tehran to attack. Even now, Iran is garnering support from the Arab states. Future looks bleak for Israel if they don't change their leader soon. Poor Olmert still has faith in Abbas for peace.

You created this FRANKENSTEIN and now you have to live with it.

And not just on the Jews. The Palestinians are their own worst enemies and the trouble they create falls first of all on themselves and then on their Arab neighbors and finally on the rest of the world.
