Let's see how well Egypt plays this hand dealt to it.
Egypt started to close its breached border with the Gaza Strip on Friday but Palestinian militants bulldozed a new opening in a challenge to Cairo and Israel's blockade of the Hamas-run territory.
Palestinian crowds cheered as Hamas militants used a bulldozer to flatten sections of the chain and concrete fence. In a scene broadcast live on television around the world, Egyptian riot police watched from a distance as hundreds of people poured into Egypt.
Sounds pretty rough, but you have to laugh at the Palestinians when they have idiots like this speaking about them:
"I have two brothers still inside Egypt. They should not close the border until everyone returns," said one Palestinian stone thrower, 20-year-old Mohammed al-Masri.
So, they shouldn't close the borders because there are people who came illegally into Egypt and they should wait while the Palestinians do whatever they want with Egypt?
And yet, these people don't seem to understand why they don't have a state yet.
"We insist and urge our Egyptian brothers that there must be a mechanism to allow the passage of people and goods through the Rafah crossing in a legal and organized manner," Hamas government spokesman Taher al-Nono said.
Since militants blew up the wall at Rafah, the border has been transformed into a giant open-air market, selling everything from goats to full size refrigerators.
Umm...Egypt HAD a legal and organized manner in which goods were being transferred, but Hamas blew open a hole in the fence. And yet, Hamas sees no problem with it.
"I bought a motorcycle, cigarettes, biscuits, corn chips, cheese and a small generator. I think they can close the border now," said 38-year-old Saeed al-Helo after crossing back into Gaza. "I think Gaza has enough food supplies for a month."
So what happens after a month of supplies runs out genius?
God, I swear these people are idiots.
