“Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak announced that he had ordered his troops to allow Palestinians to cross into Egypt because they were starving.”

It’s high time the Palistinian’s dear “Muslim brothers” pitches in and did something besides gripe. They’re the relatives of the family...not the Israeli’s! It should have been their problem all along....there’s plenty of Middle East sand to go around, especially in Egypt!
I'm afraid that not true. They might not be "brothers" but then they are certainly "cousins". The tribes of Israel and the Arabs are all Semites and as such have all descended from the same branch of mankind's family tree.
The Jewish population of Israel has expanded well beyond the original Semitic peoples because the state has allowed the Jewish faith to serve as license to citizenship. This as allowed every branch of humanity to be represented in Israel.
The schism dividing Arab from Jew is philosophical and rests in their respective religions not their ethnicity. What we are seeing is the world's longest food fight in a fractious family that has never gotten along. Although I suspect that the Jews would settle for being left alone but the Arabs just won't accept that.
