""Israel has done nothing, in parallel or otherwise.
Also, there are no tunnels on the Israeli border.

Just what heinous act do you suppose Israel will use as an excuse?

It has not done anything so needs no excuse.

Devious as ever Keith.

I referred to two kinds of border crossing, official and tunnels.

Israel has closed all official access to Gaza from Israel. Egypt has closed both official crossings and secret tunnels.

Egypt's excuse is the skirmish on the Gaza border, which they believe may have been the responsibility of Hamas, while the Muslim Brotherhood has, as you yourself reported, blamed Mossad.

The FACT is that Gaza has been locked down by Egypt and Israel acting, if not in concert, certainly at the same time.

Since Israel was not a victim of the alleged attack which caused the Egyptian response, just what do you suppose was the reason (or excuse) for Israel mirroring the Egyptian response?

You have charged, tried and convicted Hamas, and would doubtless be happy to watch the execution, BUT ON WHAT EVIDENCE?
