You are going to see a lot of people die in the Gaza strip. The EU will cut off aide, the UN will have to, they just may have given the blessing for Israel to destroy this little territory that is now run by terrorists.
Islam Shahwan, a spokesman for the Hamas militia, told Hamas radio triumphantly: “The era of justice and Islamic rule have arrived.”
This is going to get very ugly. The path between Egypt and Gaza will get involved. Hamas is going to sacrifice this area and its people.

Pgardn,
Sadly, you may be entirely correct with your analysis.
I admit that I am not completely informed on recent developments.
I hesitate to post anything on "political" topics, and I'm hardly a fan of Hamas.
I also realize that I'll get a bashing from ****** and**** for posting a commondreams link, but I think Ira C might know a bit more than them.

So....how come the US insists on backing leaders like Abbas, Marchos, the Shah, on and on...and so it goes. ???
Looks like Iran is the big winner in this one.
Is the US going to continue to play Israel's proxy?
I honestly don't know. I only know that a whole lot more people are going to die. It saddens me.
