After Palestinian guerrillas blew the barrier that separates Gaza from Egypt, 350,000 Palestinians streamed into Egypt-occupied Sinai. Palestinian terrorists will use the occasion to bring weapons and cash into Gaza. Other Palestinians meant to buy food in Egypt, though UNRWA delivers them (for 60 years) enough food.
Hamas cooperated in blowing the barrier with Egypt: sealed some part of the broken barrier and directed the human traffic through two openings.
Egypt behaved reasonably, accepting the desperate Palestinian crowd, but then forcing it back to Gaza. Egyptian police, however, dispersed a few hundred Egyptians demonstrating in Cairo in support of Gazans. Egypt cooperates with Israel in sealing Gaza off by keeping Egypt-Gaza border generally shut.
Israel is lucky Palestinians didn’t break the Israel-Gaza barrier. Israeli Army, obsessed with humanity, won’t shoot at the crowd, and the Palestinians could just as easily break from their zoo into Israel.
Israel had already broken the blockade of Gaza, delivered fuel for Gaza’s power plant (besides uninterrupted supply of electricity from Israel), delivered some food and other items.
