regarding the squeaks and sqawks emanating from the islamo Nazi pigs and sows ---about
"civilians" the mouth of a tunnel in any NEIGHBORHOOD --renders it a legal military
target--------face reality, my porcine friends

they built a complexity of tunnels from gaza to Israel and from gaza to Egypt---
BIG ENOUGH TO ACCOMODATE tanks and Mercedes benzes-----but the poor things
cannot manage a hole in the ground bomb shelter for the kids.
