There are unconfirmed reports of dozens of injured. The IDF has already ordered helicopters into the air and MDA is mobilizing to treat the many wounded in the blast. Details to follow as they become available.

I think there comes a time when we realize that this is politics AND religion.

Agreed. The mistake that Freepers make is not realizing that the people in charge are using Islam to further political goals. It is not the other way around. Not seeing this only gives these people more power. The settlers in the West Bank and Gaza must leave if there is ever to be peace in the area. Sharon is right on target here. Israel needs to hold its nose and do it, even if they think it is wrong. Until this happens, Israel will not get very much sympathy from the Arab world. I am not saying it is right, simply it must be done.

And there was peace in the area when the "settlers" were not in Gaza and the "West Bank"?

You are completely out of your mind. You think giving up some land will make the arabs start to like them?

I got married on october 21 1973 in Jerusalem. My husband almost didn't make it to the wedding as he was a medic in an helicopter on the Sinai front...

We are still at war with these Islam-infested idiots!

Israelis trying to get into Israel still. Egypt not allowing them in. Huge panic on the border. (IDF Radio)

Explosions reported near Tabah as well. Not sure if this is connected to the explosions reported earlier.

If you'd like to be on this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Silvan Shalom met with the foreign ministers of Tunisia and Egypt last week in New York. The topic, encouraging Israeli tourism.
