Link Roundup: Tens of thousands of palestinians break through border wall

LaChola
In reaction to Israels horrific 100% blockade of Palestine Lenin’s tomb comes the amazing news that Palestinians have broken through a border wall into Egypt and are currently buying much needed supplies. The Guardian Link has some footage

KABOBfest: The Largest Prison Break in History:
After six days of strangulation, thousands of Gazans dramatically entered Egypt Wednesday morning after a border wall was blasted open. Afterwards, Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak claimed to allow the Palestinians entry so as to not starve, though he has up to this point shown little concern for Palestinian lives while willingly enforcing Israel’s blockade. In particular, he has refused entry of critically ill Palestinians, or allow passage of goods despite warnings by countless humanitarian organizations of the threat to life. Coincidentally, Mubarak’s change in heart came simultaneously with the Palestinian breach in the border wall, and subsequent mass influx of Palestinians. Meanwhile, Israeli President Shimon Peres has lashed out at the Palestinians for refusing to obediantly accept their own starvation, alleging that the entry of Palestinian civilians into Egypt for food and fuel is a mistake responsible for “killing people.” Apparently, the Israeli President believes that Palestinian survival is a mistake.
