Operation pillar of cloud. Israeli assault on Gaza

Saw this from Hopi Sen (former Blair adviser from the early 2000s) on twitter:

"An optimistic scenario: Hamas sees Iran isn't much use to them. Switches to Egyptian orbit. Gets trade advantages but rockets interdicted."
 
The tweeters at the border have got into Gaza,they are saying about 500.

I have a bad feeling about this, I dont think the Israelis will give a fuck if 500 Egyptians human shields are in Gaza and will continue their onslaught regardless, killing Egyptians with the same impunity as they do with Gazans.
Really hope Im wrong though.
 
From the Guardian live blog:

Al Jazeera is reporting that a Hamas spokesman says that 90 per cent of the terms of a ceasefire currently being discussed in Cairo have been agreed upon.
Israeli officials have declined to confirm or deny reports that an Israeli negotiator had flown to Cairo to discuss a ceasefire.
As some of his officials sought to broker a truce with Hamas leaders, Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi said earlier that "there are some indications that there is a possibility of a ceasefire soon, but we do not yet have firm guarantees".

There's this additional:

About 500 Egyptian activists have crossed into Gaza to deliver medical supplies and show support for Palestinians, according to a report from the Associated Press.
The US news agency adds:
The visit indicates a new Egyptian policy toward to Gaza following the ouster of longtime leader Hosni Mubarak and the rise to power of Islamists.
Mubarak, Israel's longtime ally, had poor relations with Hamas and teamed up with Israel to blockade Gaza after the militant Hamas seized the territory in 2007.
The new Egyptian president, Mohammed Morsi, comes from the Muslim Brotherhood, the parent group of Hamas and has met with Hamas leaders in Cairo.
"We are telling the Palestinians that we are on their side," said activist Adam Mubarak. "Our visit is a message to Israel that we will not abandon the Palestinians in Gaza."
 
Pity its not 500 Egyptian special forces with sophisticated weaponry instead.

Actually egyptian special forces would probably just end up shooting more gazans unit 77 :(
They were the heros who forgot to inform anyone when trying to storm an airliner in cyprus ended up in a firefight with cypriot police.
Then they blew up an airliner in malta.
Frankly the TA or an airsoft team would be more competant or even the workers defence force:(
The egyptian army is purely for show.
 
Triumph of democracy eh?
So after a long line of Stern Gang and Irgun premiers, chosen by universal suffrage, Israel's leader stands up to Terrorists by slaughtering civilians
Plus ca change eh?
Go back to an earlier post, once he gets the kill rate closer to 100 to 1, we can expect a slow down on the forces of "Defence and Democracy"
 
Obama couldn't give a clearer message to Israel that it can do whatever the hell it likes.
Pressed as to whether a ground invasion would escalate tensions, Mr. Rhodes said, “We believe Israel has a right to defend itself, and they’ll make their own decisions about the tactics that they use in that regard.”

>He said that the precipitating factor for the conflict was the rocket fire coming out of Gaza, dismissing those who blame an Israeli airstrike that killed a top Hamas military commander.
>“Just to be clear on the precipitating factor: These rockets had been fired into Israeli civilian areas and territory for some time now. So Israelis have endured far too much of a threat from these rocket for far too long, and that is what led the Israelis to take the action that they did in Gaza.”

>He declined to comment on Israel’s targeting of government buildings, including the prime minister’s headquarters. “We wouldn’t comment on specific targeting choices by the Israelis other than to say that we of course always underscore the importance of avoiding civilian casualties. But the Israelis again will make judgments about their military operations.”
Phew. We are so lucky Obama won the election and not that nasty Romney dude

Another dead kid Hussain Jalal Nassir - 8 Years old. That makes ten children killed today. 26 kids killed since this began.
 
This is really stretching my credulity here:

#Israel IDF spox: Hamas puts large amts of munitions undrnth civilian homes. Many times this is reason for big or collateral damage. #Gaza
 
Hamas, who have to smuggle in all their weaponry and equipment have a Bond villain lair beneath the ENTIRE of Gaza.
