Israel's leadership is resorting to a national policy of
kvetching (loosely: complaining). For example, the Egyptian border was unilaterally handed over, with full knowledge that it would become immediately permeable to terror resources. Egypt, after all, is a country in which 90% of women are subject to female genital mutilation on Islamic grounds (strangely, this aspect of Muslim culture was omitted from British TV's jaw-dropping encouragement to convert to Islam).
So Israel's leaders respond with
video footage of Egypt actively aiding Hamas, pretending for domestic political purposes that they are trying to stop the collaboration:
Israel is sending video footage - which shows Egyptian security forces assisting Hamas terrorists cross illegally into Gaza - to the U.S. Congress to pressure Egypt to clamp down on Hamas smuggling activities.
The House and Senate agreed Sunday to hold back $100 million in military aid for Egypt unless Secretary of State Rice certifies that concerns about smuggling weapons into Gaza and human rights abuses have been addressed.
Last week, Israel filed an official complaint with Cairo after Egypt unilaterally opened the Rafah Crossing and allowed Palestinians who claimed to be traveling to Mecca for the hajj pilgrimage to leave Gaza.
Israel has received intelligence indicating that among the 1,700 pilgrims are a significant number of Palestinian terrorists who traveled to Iran and Lebanon for military training.
Note to right-wing politicians: the heart of your campaign needs to be simply "quality of life." Repeatedly emphasize how negligence on all fronts is killing the quality of life of the average citizen. Stop telling Israelis to sacrifice. Tell them the parasitic politicans need to sacrifice.
