Gaza Tunnels

The tunnels beneath the Egyptian border have become a common way for Palestinians to attain items that they cannot due to the Israeli restrictions on imports into the Gaza Strip. Some of these items, like medicine or cigarettes, are relatively innocuous, but weapons and rocket parts are also smuggled through the tunnels, making them a target for Israel's IDF forces.

when you mix into your peoples trade route for medecine and food with weapons you knowingly make them vulnerable
what other government expects it to be ok to import food through the same methods as they import weapons and not have that process attacked.
its risky even if your sweden no less a territory in a defacto state of war - 2 years ago

Proud to say I worked with Zouheir numerous times in Gaza and brought him into Current where we're one of the only networks worldwide to be getting inside access like this. Forget the politics, this is shedding light on unseen aspects of life in Gaza as is - no manipulation nor slant by Zouheir. I know him well and although he's led an incredibly tough life in Gaza, has always remained objective surrounding sensitive activities that militants carry out there.
Once again, Current's prowess trumps major news outlets to the story with inside access. - 3 years ago

We have seen this report a good amount of times and we always have the question:
Where did these "Poor people" get $30000-$40000 to build a Tunnel?
These tunnels are part of the sickening issues supported by Hamas and Iran with which they smuggle weapons and mortars that have kept this issue escalating to the point were it is Today.
Islam Extremists have to be put to an end and giving money to them with our Oil dependencies is the world biggest mistake.

After having my question ignored about how your stories could reach the front page with less than twenty views, and now datamined has been blocked for two weeks I can't believe anything that comes from your posts. This is Not a Personal attack against you.
I just believe that this site is biased and non-objectively choosing which submitters are best for their TV demographic. Therefore every story that is submitted is under question.
Any media that chooses to shape the news based on their monetary needs is a curse of the free press in a Capitalistic society. There needs to be a revolution against those who would sell what amounts to innocent lives to make the almighty advertising dollar. Flee from these prostitutes as from the plague. At least the plague would be a comparatively quick death compared to having your self-determinacy taken from you an opinion at a time in a "so called" free society.
It doesn't matter your politics or religion, if this site is dictating who can be heard and who can't then Free Speech is not allowed here. This is not America, move on..............
I should have known they were in trouble after seeing so many advertisements for the Zune.

I have no "pony" in this race, no a direct stake in the outcome, and lack any real information other than what is reported by the media in this sad unfolding tale.
I don't have a belief to espouse, nor endorse a side in the conflict; all that I can offer is empathy to those that have to bury their families and friends.
What if the combatants had broken bread together earlier in the day? Would the finger on the gun trigger in the attack helicoptors or the hand lighting the fuse of a home-built toy rocket would take the step to unleash more death upon their neighbours?
Just wondering...
it's so sad to start a new year with such human misery.

Pali, obviously they know. There are several tunnels and they are sponsored by Iran, this is the way they move in weapons to attack the Jewish people. The reason of the blockade in Gaza is to stop the traffic of weapons that are used to continue the hatred to Israel.

The Egyptian people are good people to do things like this to help their neighbors.
But President Mubarak is a dog not wanting to help and he should be ashamed. - 3 years ago

Hey farmboy,
Thanks for the well articulated, researched and balanced commentary. What's your contribution, again? Exactly? I'm a little lost...
JohnBoy, you may want to consider learning about an issue before adding your input to such an important, potentially explosive situation.
I'm not particularly religious but rather suspect that you are, farmerBoi. You may wish to read your bible. Should you take the time to do so, you'll perhaps realize that the region of interest has long been a historical flashpoint. You may, also, perhaps gain perspective from history. Less than 100 years ago, a great global conflict caused misery in every corner of the globe. The catalyst? A pissing contest between completely irrelevant members of the European "nobility". Minor Dukes sparked world-war.
It doesn't take much to start a major war.
I hope learn from past mistakes. The lack of any apparent education or tolerance such as this farmer boy scares the shit out of me.
It's truly sad that there are so many people that have no desire to evolve. The past is past. It is, also, such a valuable teaching tool. We can choose to let the past fuel fury and anger -- or we can take a different path. What's done is done. Let's not do it again. It's so silly to keep banging your head against the wall....
Dontcha think?
