while the situation in rafah should be brought under the control of someone other than hamas; what proof is there that terrorists have infiltrated the sinai with aims on attacking israel from egypt?
how much of this supposed threat is presumption and how much is based in substantiated fact?

if any action israel takes is based solely on presumptions; the results could be devastating to regional peace. all too often in the past, israel has "created" situations based on unsubstantiated presumptions. the situation as it stands today requires israel to exercise extreme prudence. it sits on the brink of acquiring acceptance and peace with its neighbors, perhaps even alliance, peace with the palestinians, and worldwide favor...
which means that it needs to seriously pay heed to long term considerations and how much its actions today will bear impact on its future security. the offers made recently by the arab league are more than israel`s zionist founders would have ever dreamed, which raises the question of whether israel`s true motive is that of peace; or whether it is one of greed?
