NOVANEWS wasn’t the Egyptian wall meant to fail? Egyptian officials are now openly admitting that the underground steel wall lining the Gaza-Egypt border is porous. Gazan "smugglers" have penetrated the wall hundreds of times and are not remotely troubled by it any longer. The cars that used to be brought through quartered, after which the parts were welded together in Gaza, are now brought through whole. Very big tunnels. I've always assumed that the wall was meant to fail or constructed with the knowledge that it would probably fail, as part of the Egyptian-Israel-American materiel and diplomatic dance. What would have happened if Egypt had actually cut off the tunnel trade when 80 to 90 percent of Gazan imports were coming in through the tunnels? People would have started starving to de...

NOVANEWS- Pressure intensified on Zionist puppet Mahmoud Ab-Ass to agree to direct talks with Zio=Nazi regime in 'Israel'.
