Hundreds of thousands Cross Downed Gaza Wall

"Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians crossed into Egypt from Gaza on Wednesday after gunmen destroyed about two-thirds of the Gaza-Egypt border wall. Most of the Gazans returned after stocking up on food and other basic supplies that have become scarce due to the blockade imposed on the territory by Israel.

UN personnel said they estimated the number of Palestinians who entered Egypt to be 350,000."

"RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) - Tens of thousands of Palestinians poured from the Gaza Strip into Egypt Wednesday after masked gunmen with explosives destroyed most of the seven-mile barrier dividing the border town of Rafah."
Hamas 'spent months cutting through wall in secret operation'
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article3238615.e...
"As tens of thousands of Palestinians clambered back and forth between the Gaza strip and Egypt today, details emerged of the audacious operation that brought down a hated border wall and handed the Islamist group Hamas what might be its greatest propaganda coup.
Hamas, which took control of the coastal territory last June after a stand-off with Fatah, has denied that its men set off the explosions that brought down as much as two-thirds of the 12-km wall in the early hours.
But a Hamas border guard interviewed by The Times at the border today admitted that the Islamist group was responsible and had been involved for months in slicing through the heavy metal wall using oxy-acetylene cutting torches.
That meant that when the explosive charges were set off in 17 different locations after midnight last night the 40ft wall came tumbling down, leaving it lying like a broken concertina down the middle of no-man's land as an estimated 350,000 Gazans flooded into Egypt."
You dont have to take this crap
You dont have to sit back and relax
You can actually try changing it
I know weve always been taught to rely
Upon those in authority -
But you never know until you try
How things just might be -
If we came together so strongly
Are you gonna try to make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt
You see things can change -
Yes an walls can come tumbling down!
Governments crack and systems fall
cause unity is powerful -
Lights go out - walls come tumbling down!
The competition is a colour tv
Were on still pause with the video machine
That keep you slave to the h.p.
Until the unity is threatend by
Those who have and who have not -
Those who are with and those who are without
And dangle jobs like a donkeys carrot -
Until you dont know where you are
Are you gonna realize
The class wars real and not mythologized
And like jericho - you see walls can come tumbling down!
Are you gonna be threatend by
The public enemies no. 10 -
Those who play the power game
They take the profits - you take the blame -
When they tell you theres no rise in pay
Are you gonna try an make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt -
You see things can change -
Yes an walls can come tumbling down!

Liberate - your mind.
"Out of Zion shall come forth a law
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem
Nation shall not raise sword against nation
And they shall not learn war anymore
For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken"
Lubricate - your soul
haven't seen the video yet, just thought I'd get in a plug for lubrication, in its many forms. if lubrication is what makes things go in, down, through, etc. more smoothly and comfortably (and, dare we say it, pleasurably) then lubrication is something we NEED more of, not less of in our neverending quest for the truth.
Thanks so much Dicktater for the posting (and for all your posts
This is great news about the breakout of Gazans for supplies. Israeli leaders may soon have their very own Nuremburg Trials. Excellent photo too, and just as in the ancient past, when the people of Gaza had famine, they would always go down into Egypt where Pharaoh’s storehouses were full and blessed by the gods of Kemet.
The Isolation of Gaza and the Breakout – this is the final straw upon the camel’s back. The Zionist apartheid state has just lost! You can hear it in the desperation of their voices. All their lies and crimes are now being revealed over and over to the whole world. Everybody is coming to a full understanding of all their games and maneuvers. They can no longer point to “the Holocaust†as an old, tried-and-true “sympathy card,†because everyone has been watching, and re-watching, a sixty-year history of something far more awful than anything Hitler ever did. People used to be silenced by the old “anti-Semite†canard too, but that trick no longer works, and a lying, thieving little hypocrite who whines about something someone long ago may, or may not have, done to him, yet makes complaint while holding a butcher knife dripping with the blood of several million Arabs, is a little man who should now Shut the Fuck Up, and walk away in abject shame while the going is good, for the times they are a changin’ and the people are waking up. The fanatical, militant Zionist dream of Eretz Israel and the “Jewish Kingdom†is now over. Its immoral nature and core has been fully exposed for all to see. The karmic reality backlash of 60 years of genocidal war crimes and mass media deception has brought the Israel Project to these current times of decline, embarrassing exposure, and loss. They have lied and deceived long enough now, and the numbers of their murders are far too great to tolerate any longer. It is time for Hollywood and Bonehead of U2 to get out there and have a worldwide concert to (in the name of love) TEAR DOWN THE APARTHEID WALL OF ISRAEL!
Jews and Christians, take back your faiths from the clutched claws of the Zionist demon. Even though I do not count myself as a “Christian,†yet still it really bothers me to see the Zionist power structure (cf. AIPAC, etc.) buying off people like Pastor Pat Hagee with big-finned Cadillacs so that he will convince his good-natured Christian followers that the modern state of Israel is a nation of integrity and morality, and is the Biblical Will of God, and that “Jesus is NOT the Messiah.†Now atheistic Zionists have got your preachers denouncing Jesus’ messiah-hood and divinity. I don’t personally believe in things like “anti-Christs,†but I think if I did, this would be a sign. Seeing the Zionist manipulation of Christianity makes me so mad, I sometimes hope Jesus is the Messiah, and that he comes back and turns Pat Hagee and his Zionist country club friends into the demon-infected swine that plunge off the cliff in madness that you hear tell about in the Gospels.

Egyptian riot police officers line up during a demonstration of Palestinian Hamas supporters at the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.
Egyptian border guards scuffle with Palestinians crossing the border after militants exploded the separated wall between Gaza Strip and Egypt early Wednesday, in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, Thursday, Jan. 24, 2008. Egyptian forces began trying to control the masses of Palestinians flooding across the border for a second day Thursday, stopping some from moving deeper into Egypt, but not attempting to reseal the border. Thousands of Gazans trapped in their territory by a tight blockade pour into Egypt to buy food, fuel and other supplies that have become scarce.
