My Mideast Punchlines: what a gas….

Hamas accused the Egyptian military of pumping poisonous gas into smuggling tunnels after three of its operatives died while repairing a tunnel under the Gaza-Egypt border on Saturday. Another five Palestinians were injured. The tunnel they were working on had been destroyed by the Egyptian military. Times of Israel coverage.

biffWell, Syria’s President Assad used gas on his own people and the UN reacted with a series of resolutions condemning….Israel. So don’t be too surprised if the conspiracy theorists come out of the woodwork to claim that it was Israelis dressed as Egyptians who did this dastardly deed. The end result is the same — more Palestinian  cannon fodder, most of them youths and children, for the odious Hamas regime.
