In the Army, on a slow day, you dig a hole and bury it. In Gaza, Hamas terrorist organization is the army and the government, so after a border wall is built, their citizens bomb it and the rule-by-terror government applauds the destruction—kind of like outsourcing to the private sector. Odd, but that was the government elected of the Palestinian people, by the Palestinian people and for the Palestinian people.
But such a government long endure?

U.S. Army military Chaplain, General and PhD, James Hutchins, answers it in a word, “No.”

Hutchens further contends that the peace talks with the Palestinians will continue to fail since Palestinian Muslims do not want peace, other than their definition of peace: The total destruction of Israel.

General Hutchens paints of picture of what it is like allowing Palestinian Muslims to rule themselves and the folly of trusting them to administer or adhere to any true form of peace.

He tells of how thousands of Palestinians have poured from the Gaza Strip into Egypt beginning January 23, 2008 after masked gunmen with explosives destroyed most of the seven-mile wall dividing the border town of Rafah.

The gunmen began breaching the wall dividing Rafah before dawn, according to witnesses and Hamas officials. A total of 17 explosions destroyed the Rafah wall Wednesday, Hamas security officials said. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter, said they were allowing Palestinians to move freely through two gaps.

The Gazans crossed on foot, in cars or riding donkey carts to buy supplies made scarce by an Israeli blockade erected after Palestinians refused to stop their cowardly rocket attack from Gaza into Israel, putting innocent Israeli citizens in harms way. Police from the terrorist group Hamas, which controls Gaza, directed the traffic and Egyptian border guards took no action.
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Arye Mekel rightfully disavowed responsibility, saying that since the world pressured Israel to withdraw their forces from the Gaza-Egypt border, “It is the responsibility of Egypt to ensure that the border operates properly, according to the signed agreements…We expect the Egyptians to solve the problem.”

As a result, virtually anyone can cross past the unsecure border between Gaza and Egypt—but then again, how different is this from the Mexican-US border?

Israeli defense officials are understandably concerned that Hamas could use the opening of the border to bring even more weapons and ammunition into Gaza.

Continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
