Kinda funny they are using explosives against the Egyptians. That must really tell you how anxious they are to face the Israeli army.

[Tigen]

Suppose they know about an attact that will get them killed I would run too.

[river rat]

The Palestinians seem to be in a competition with the Pakistanis for the coveted title of “Allah’s Cockroaches”..

[HAL9000]

So will we now see Egypt roll out the Egyptian army with their M1 Abrahms?

I doubt it. Egyptian tanks on the border might be a violation of the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel.

[Alright_on_the_LeftCoast]

Great, let Egypt take care of their brothers, the Palestinians, the maggots of the mid-east.

They say its dangerous to make lists but if they ever made a list of peoples by contribution to mankind, the palies woud be ranked near or at the bottom.

Oddly enough the Palis, especially the diaspora, used to be one of, if not the most, educated and productive arab group in the world. You might argue that that's like being the tallest member of the lollipop guild but still...

Some examples here

Just wanted to add that I’m talking about *before* oslo. It’s been a horrible decline since.

I guess we’ll get a front row seat for the unshakable Islamic solidarity that’s sure to come. Maybe Jordan can help Egypt out with their new Pali friends?

Yeah, here's one of the credits:

The Palis didn't stay in Egypt. They bought a bunch of stuff and went back through the hole in the wall.

[ovrtaxt]

Well, come to think of it, Cairo probably isn’t much better than Gaza anyway...

*Before* Oslo.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

I heard they don’t have any power there so I’m sure they will go buy the real important stuff in Egypt. Guns, explosives, missile parts, etc.............

[Proud_USA_Republican]

“unshakable Islamic solidarity”
Oh lord that made me laugh.

[wideminded]

Palestinians blast border walls, hundreds cross into Egypt

Don't the Israelis control the Philadelphi Route?

[wideminded]

"In September 2005, following Israel's unilateral disengagement plan, the IDF handed over control of the Philadelphi Route to the Egyptian army"

I guess they don't any more. Big mistake.

Before 1967 the Gaza strip was a part of Egypt.
Israel captured both the Sinai Peninsula and Gaza strip from Egypt during the Six Day War.
In 1979-1980 they negotiated the return of the Sinai Peninsula but Egypt would not take back the Gaza strip.

No one in the whole Arab world wants anything to do with the “Palestinians” other than to use them as surrogates to kill Israelis.
