9. actually its hamas that is being careful...they're better at PR than israel....
Edited on Thu Dec-11-08 11:31 PM by pelsar
they keep their population quietly in their 'cages"...they shoot their kassams just enough to keep constant intl pressure on israel, while world and their friends ignore those simple facts:

its been clear for a long time now: no kassams.......borders open for food
(ignoring this fact, translates to "one can try to kill israelis with and thats ok, they're are more important things in life)

egypts opens the border for food with only a minimum of pressure
(this is the most interesting, because it shows how so many in the intl community prefer to play politics with the Palestinians health....i.e. use them to pressure israel. It also shows the hypocrisy involved, some have made it clear they would rather not pressure egypt, but have no problem in pressuring israel, because is "israels fault"...and the Palestinians continue to suffer because of it)

No Starvation..because the locals might actually riot or protest (despite the fact that hamas does actually kill protesters)

taxed tunnels imports...so they've been organized and now part of the econ system

Keeping travel limited...not letting is population go to mecca via egypt (perhaps they dont want any reporting of what they're actually doing in gaza?)
