Israel has attacked Gaza Flotilla (dead and wounded)

[Helen Reyes]

It almost does look like intentional failure on Bibi's part.

If Egypt has opened up the Gaza border Iran can dock somewhere there presumably at whatever port exists on the Sinai, unload and take an overland route for aid deliveries.

I remember hearing Israel wasn't letting Gazans fish in Gazan waters a few years back. The natural gas fields sound like a real motive in all this, in Israel's attempt to claim Gazan waters as their own while pretending they've withdrawn from Gaza. To re-seal the Egyptian border Israel would have to invade and fight their way there, set up their line in the sand and keep it supplied. Maybe that's the plan, to push all the Gazans out to Egypt while there's a window to do so.

You could be right there.

Except Israel fouled the nest with depleted uranium during Cast Lead. The real estate values of Gaza waterfront property will have suffered tremendously. Looks more like a scorched earth.
