By Micah Halpern
Thursday February 28, 2013 I've Been Thinking: Yesterday an Egyptian court ruled that Egypt must destroy the tunnels that connect Egypt and Gaza. The case was brought before the court because last year 16 Egyptian border guards will killed by Palestinians from Gaza who came through the tunnels with weapons. The security of Egypt is at stake. The Egyptian court would not act if the violence was only one way, if it was directed only at Israel. Ynet quotes Wael Hamdi, the lawyer that brought the case, and Judge Farid Tanaghou, who ruled that Egypt must destroy the tunnels. 1.5 million people travel through the tunnels every year. There are 450 major tunnels and 750 smaller ones. Some think that there are as many as 2000 tunnels. 1/3 of all of Gaza's imports come in through the tunnels. While it hurt only Israel, Egypt turned a blind eye to the tunnels. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click.
