The narrow strip of land, known as the Gaza Strip, has been a curse to Israel since she first conquered the promised l and

from the Canaanites, under her great leader Joshua, beginning at Jericho.
The current situation of chaos has blossomed from a sore in March of 2007 to a flowing cancer at the present time. The two Archive Blogs, which immediately follow, precede the most current news excerpt from the flowing Gaza cancer between Israel and Egypt.
The Gaza Strip is like a hot potato being tossed back and forth between Israel and Egypt, each one crying “hot potato, hot potato,” waiting for it to cool down so it can be handled without burning their hands. But this is not like a hot potato. Gaza is not going to cool down until it is thrown to the ground, stepped on, and smashed, which neither Israel or Egypt seem inclined to do at the present time – Israel because of international pressure, and Egypt because of Arab pressure. It is a sad commentary, but secretly, Syria, Iran, and all the multiple terrorist groups, are the only ones who do not want to see Gaza go away.
While I do not believe a major Middle East War is likely to break out before 2010, but that it will probably begin at some point in time before the end of 2015, the Hizbullah cancer on Israel’s northern border, and the Gaza cancer between Israel and Egypt, will have to be treated with gobs of intense radiation. Failure to do so will result in a continued rise and spread of the area affected by the cancers.

The Gaza Strip – The Armpit of Israel that will not go Away!

The human ability to find ways to escape the inevitable is astounding! If someone asks a group of people, “Please raise your hand if you think you will die one day?” – All hands should rise. If a second question was then asked, “How many of you that lifted your hands, believe you will die today?” – The response would be nil! In essence, we all believe we will eventually leave this flesh or be buried in it, but the event is always going to be tomorrow, not today.
The cauldron just keeps on boiling as the witches of Hizbollah stir it on Israel’s northern border, while several terrorist groups on its southern border mix their poisonous Gaza ingredients into the mixture.
It is difficult for me to understand how anyone, believer or unbeliever, can believe this hodge-podge of mass confusion and Middle East hatred, will end up any other way than in a great Middle East War.
There is a question only to when it will begin in earnest!

Gaza,
Gaza, Go Away, Let Hell Break Out Another Day!
June 13, 2007

Israel is growing closer and closer to her date with prophetic destiny.
The Gaza Strip, the homeland of the uncircumcised Philistines, has always been a thorn in Israel’s side that seems impossible to pull out. It is the smelly armpit of the Middle East, and will play a major role in the events that one day lead up to the initial Islamic attack that sets off a war.
I will simply let the following two articles from DEBKAfile and the Jerusalem Post speak for themselves concerning the current and future possibilities for the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip.
Article 1
DEBKAfile: Gaza in flames. Palestinian Hamas storms Fatah positions in Gaza as brutal civil strife breaks up fragile Hamas-Fatah unity government
June 12, 2007, 6:50 PM (GMT+02:00)
Senior Palestinian politician Saab Erikat warns “Mogadishu syndrome” is overtaking Palestinian Gaza. “If war and lawlessness are not extinguished, the fire will burn us all”
The outcome unfolding after at least 20 deaths in 24 hours is the separation of Palestinian rule between Hamas-controlled Gaza and the Fatah-led West Bank. Hamas gave Fatah’s two hours to vacate its Gaza command posts or face death.
DEBKAfile’s military sources report that Hamas threw its entire 15,000-strong Executive Force armed with mortars, RPGs, heavy machine guns and grenades into the final bid to conquer the Gaza Strip, whereas Fatah commanders’ desperate appeals to Mahmoud Abbas for reinforcements drew nothing but a futile call for a ceasefire.
His Fatah earlier mounted an RPG attack on the Hamas prime minister Ismail Haniya’s home in Gaza. No one was hurt. Hamas gunmen then shot dead the top Fatah commander in northern Gaza, his brother and cousin. Monday, they bound a Fatah fighter hand and foot and hurled him from a 15-story building in Gaza to his death.
For two days, Hamas gunmen have been targeting injured Fatah fighters, killing them in ambulances and Beit Hanoun hospital beds. Fatah has retaliated with mortar and RPG attacks on the Hamas-controlled Shifa hospital.
Several attempts by the Egyptian mission in Gaza to arrange a ceasefire have been short-lived. In Cairo Tuesday, President Hosni Mubarak and Jordanian King Abdullah discussed the Palestinian crisis.
Article 2
DEBKAfile’s Military sources: Iran and Syria are the winners of Hamas’ military coup against Fatah in Gaza Strip
June 12, 2007, 6:46 PM (GMT+02:00)
It was the second triumph in a week for a Palestinian force backed by Iran and Syria, after the Lebanese army failed in four weeks’ combat to crush the pro-Syrian factions’ barricaded in the Nahr al-Bared Palestinian camp near Tripoli in four weeks of combat.
Tuesday, Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah Palestinian Authority forces faced disaster. Their inevitable ejection from the Gaza Strip effectively severs Palestinian rule between Ramallah, where Fatah will have to fight to retain control of the West Bank and Gaza, dominated now by an Islamist Palestinian force manipulated from Tehran and Damascus.
The Iran-Syrian alliance has acquired by brute force two Mediterranean coastal enclaves in northern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
Its momentum, launched a month ago in both sectors was unchecked. The Fouad Siniora government’s troops failed to break through to the Palestinian camp and crush
the pro-Syrian uprising. The Olmert government stood by unmoved as the most radical elements in the Middle East snatched the Gaza Strip on Israel’s southwestern border.
The Bush administration is finding itself forced out of key Middle East positions, its main assets Siniora and Mahmoud Abbas trounced on the battlefield.
Israel’s technological feat of placing the Ofeq-7 surveillance satellite in orbit Monday quickly proved ineffective against the sort of tactics Tehran and Syria employ: mobile, suicidal Palestinian terrorists, heavily and cheaply armed with primitive weapons, who are winning the first round of the Summer 2007 war and preparing for the next.

Palestinian Affairs: ‘Over our dead bodies’
Khaled bu Toameh, THE JERUSALEM POST
January 31, 2008
Hamas leaders had every reason to laugh all the way to Cairo this week.
Exactly one week after they and their supporters succeeded in tearing down the metal barrier separating the Gaza Strip from Egypt – enabling nearly half the population of Gaza to cross freely into Egyptian territory – Hamas’s top leaders were being invited to Cairo for talks on ways of resolving the crisis.
It was the first visit of its kind to Egypt by senior Hamas officials since last June, when the Islamist movement took full control over the Gaza Strip after defeating Mahmoud Abbas’s security forces.
Like most of the Arab countries, Egypt was quick to denounce the Hamas “coup” and demand that Abbas’s men be allowed to return to their former posts in Gaza, including at the Rafah border crossing.
To back up their demand, the Egyptians have since rejected Hamas’s call to reopen the Rafah terminal on the basis of new security arrangements. Egypt’s official policy remains that the terminal must be reopened in accordance with the US-brokered 2005 agreement that authorized Abbas’s Presidential Guard to run it under the supervision of international monitors.
Hamas, which was never happy with that agreement, is now trying to take advantage of the latest crisis along the border with Egypt to secure a new deal.
As Hamas representatives explained this week, “The agreement is dead. Our people won’t accept it because it allows a third party to maintain a presence at the border.
The Rafah border crossing should be controlled only by Egyptians and Palestinians.”
Hamas, according to its spokesmen, is not opposed to the presence of Abbas loyalists at the border crossing. But, they stress, it also wants a role in controlling the border, because the Hamas government in Gaza is the legitimate government that was elected by a majority of Palestinians in January 2006.
Hamas’s major concern is that the return to the 2005 agreement would see the border crossing under the control of parties that don’t recognize the Islamist movement’s rule in the Strip.
“The international monitors who were at the border were working as spies for the US and Israel,” claimed a Hamas spokesman. “That means that the Israelis and Americans will have indirect control over the Rafah border crossing and will decide who can pass through it.”
THE EGYPTIANS, who were obviously caught unprepared for the influx of Palestinians from Gaza into their territories, have thus far avoided a public confrontation with Hamas. Abbas’s aides in Ramallah were hoping that the events along
the border would create a severe crisis between Hamas and the Egyptian authorities.
However, the Palestinian Authority leadership was surprised to see President Hosni Mubarak invite Hamas for talks on the crisis. Moreover, Abbas was reported to have been outraged upon learning that his sworn enemy, Khaled Mashaal, had been invited to Riyadh for talks with senior Saudi government officials.
Abbas’s main fear is that Hamas is now trying to translate the latest border crisis into political gain. For him, the fact that Hamas leaders like Mahmoud Zahar and Khaled Mashaal are being welcomed into two of the most important Arab capitals is tantamount to recognition of Hamas’s violent takeover of Gaza. In Cairo this week, Abbas used strong words to condemn Hamas, depicting its leaders as a “junta” that had staged a bloody coup against a legitimate government.
Abbas wants to restore his exclusive control not only over the Rafah border crossing, but over the entire Gaza Strip.
Hamas’s response has thus far been along the lines of “over our dead bodies.”
Indeed, there is almost no reason why Hamas should soften its position. On the contrary, Hamas, in the wake of the sense of victory prevalent among its leaders in the past week, feels that it is moving in the right direction. Hamas’s declared aim over the past seven months has been to end its isolation and break the blockade imposed on the Strip, including the closure of the border with Egypt.
Furthermore, Hamas this week demonstrated that it continues to enjoy the support and sympathy of the Arab and Islamic masses, who took to the streets to express their backing for the Islamist movement and its campaign to end the blockade. Ironically, Hamas owes some of its growing popularity to Israel’s punitive measures against Gaza, including the suspension of fuel supplies.
ON THE other hand, there are no signs whatsoever that Abbas and the PA are headed toward making the slightest concession to Hamas.
Given the wide gap between the two parties, some Palestinians see Hamas and Abbas’s Fatah continuing their power struggle for many weeks and months to come. This is a power struggle that is likely to further consolidate the split between the West Bank and Gaza, turning them into separate entities with different regimes and agendas.
The Egyptians, meanwhile, are trying to solve the crisis, regardless of whether Hamas and Fatah reach an agreement on managing the Rafah border crossing. But Cairo this week learned what the Saudis learned after the February 2007 Mecca Accord – that the differences between Hamas and Fatah are unbridgeable.
That’s why the Egyptians are now working on unilaterally resealing their border with Gaza, locking the gate and throwing the key into the sea.
As far as Mubarak is concerned, the Gaza Strip, which has been nothing but a curse to all those who tried to govern it, should return to being Israel’s problem.
