Situation in Gaza

It's been a pretty crazy week in Gaza so far. Earlier in the week Hamas shut down the power supply to Gaza and blamed it on Israel, even though ironically Israel sends them all of their food and gas supplies. They then played this up in the media by holding a candlelight cabinet session. Firstly, who holds cabinet sessions in the middle of the night. Secondly, if you look at the pictures you can see clearly see light through the curtains http://www.solomonia.com/blog/archive/2008/01/darkness-at-noon-msm-plays-along-with-ha/

. I just don't see how newspapers can go along with these clearly staged photos. Then later in the week they blew a hole through the fence blocking them from Egypt. The world of course said this was because of Israel's recent blockade on them even though this plan had been going on for months. The media also went on about how the people were buying soda, candy, fruit, while never mentioning that probably some of the 700 000 people were bringing back in weapons, which is why they're being blockaded in the first place. This situation also made clear that the Egyptians want nothing to do with their Arab brethren. You have to feel bad for the innocent Palestinians who have been used as propaganda by the Arabs. Then today Iran said it would help Egypt clean up this mess. What a swell idea that would be. Let's allow the leading sponsor of terrorism to help 700 000 people get back into Gaza. Surely they won't let them bring back weapons. Israel really needs to pressure Egypt to get this thing under control, and it's in the best interest of the Mubarack regime to solve this if they want to hold onto power. Especially with the Winograd report coming out, Olmert doesn't want to look like a dunce on both sides of the border.If this whole situation wasn't so serious, it might even be comical what's going on.
