2. Maybe Israel needs to do more
Ron ,   oc, us   (10.05.11)
There were 2,000 infiltrators into Israel last month alone. I would not trust the Egyptians as far as I could throw them. And, Israel better get control of its borders or it will no longer be a Jewish state worth living in.
3. Well ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.05.11)
I think that Israel is in a far better position to judge whether or not there are security risks to Israelis. I think that it is a pretty safe assumption that Israel will act upon any such security risks, with or without Egyptian cooperation and most CERTAINLY without seeking American "permission." That is how we roll, folks. Get used to the idea.
4. Oh yeah?
Devorah   (10.05.11)
Is the Sinai as secure as the Israeli Embassy in Cairo was during the riots when Tantawi was hiding?
5. Egypt sponsor African infiltrators because
observer ,   Egypt   (10.05.11)
Israel will return them back to Egypt as Israel's own spies.
6. #3
JS ,   USA   (10.05.11)
But that isnt at all "how you roll" Well maybe in your memories from 40 or 50 years ago. BTW Didnt you wager that by now Israel would have annexed and repatriated. Summer is over....hasnt happened.
7. Sinai is "100% secure" - until the next incident
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (10.05.11)
It might be another assault on the gas pipeline (there have been six so far this year), another terror breach into Israel, or another assault on Egyptian security forces. Then Tantawi will ask permission for yet more soldiers and weaponry to enter Sinai - and the current treaty will weaken further.
8. If any Israeli belives that...
Josh S ,   USA   (10.05.11)
...I have a really nice bridge I would like to sell them.
9. US offers Egypt carrots
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (10.05.11)
But isn't it about time that the US showed Egypt a stick,too? THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
10. Egypt is loose
Mike ,   Australia   (10.05.11)
Egyptian security would be as loose an an ex girlfriend of mine.
11. "Sinai is 100% secure"...
William ,   Israel   (10.05.11)
unless you're Jewish, Westerner, Israeli, or are against the Muslim Brotherhood.... otherwise, welcome tourists!
12. #5 - so that's the reason you shoot civilians in the back
William ,   Israel   (10.05.11)
and treat them like second-class slaves in your country.... not because you're racist or anything. Glad we cleared that up. By the way, how many Sudanese refugees returned to Egypt as "Israeli spies"? Looking forward to the answer :-)
