The border wall in Rafah is almost identical to those that separate various cities and towns along the US/Mexico border. The height of the wall ranges from eight to nine feet. It was built by Zionist Israel with US money starting in 2001. Soon after the border wall was blown up, tens of thousands of Palestinians began crossing into Egypt and returning with milk, food, medicines and plastic bottles of fuel. The Palestinians went on foot, in cars or riding donkey carts. The identity of the freedom fighters who breached the border wall was not immediately clear, but in a statement, Hamas expressed support for the move, saying , "Blowing up the border wall with Egypt is a reflection of the catastrophic situation which the Palestinian people in Gaza are living through due to the the brutal Zionist blockade ." Egyptian border guards took no action. Egypt has largely kept its border with Gaza closed since the Hamas takeover of the territory in June. http://www.aztlan.net/border_wall_blown_up.htm -------------------------------------- Related La Voz de Aztlan reports: La Raza as Palestinians http://www.aztlan.net/razapal.htm US Border Patrol is launching "chemical gas canisters" towards Mexico http://www.aztlan.net/us_border_patrol_attacks_mexico.htm --------------------------------- Arabian Sights [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe/unsubscribe send a blank message with the appropiate request in the subject window.
