When Egyptian Prime Minister, Hisham Kandil, visited Gaza on Saturday, he echoed the words of his president; that Israel must stop its aggression towards Gaza. He never asked his Gaza terrorists to stop firing missiles and rockets towards Israel.
This happened as Tel Aviv, Israeli's second city, was cowering under missiles fired from Gaza by Islamic hardcore extremists. Reports indicate that over 500 rockets have been fired into Israel over the last three days.
This also happened as Gaza officials said 28 Palestinians, 16 of them civilians, had been killed in the enclave since Israel began the air offensive against the tiny, densely populated enclave ruled by the Islamist Hamas movement. So far three Israelis have been killed by rocket fired from Gaza.
What the Egyptian authorities fail to recognise is Israel, though a tinny state, is extremely powerful.
