Add water, flooding the tunnels, that would stop all but the most ambitious. And even then it would make it very difficult to safely do the tunnels.

Purge the tunnels with smoke. that way you may find any vent shafts for them. Then purge them with nitrogen. That should take care of any smugglers.

Mostly made in China...

Unbelievable comments, "flood the tunnels", "Purge the tunnels with smoke" ??
How about "remove the frikin wall"?
Molenir
Unbelievable? Whats so hard to believe about it? Only a few extemists support the smuggling, guess you're one of em.
sabiwabi
And only a few sadists support the walls.

It wouldn't be smuggling if Palestine were free to import and export whatever it chooses, like .. I dunno .. Israel and Egypt are free to do.

It wouldn't be smuggling if Palestine ( the Palestinians ) were free to import and exort whatever it ( they ) choose"
I'll bet they'd import weapons and bombs, and export terrorism.
DeliciousWhale
Sarge, indeed some would, but the overall majority of the population would benefit from the importation of everyday goods that are taken for granted in both Israel and Egypt.
Not every Palestinian is a terrorist, yet they are all treated as such.
Systematically reducing the Palestinians freedom and access to a normal life, by creating walls and imposing sanctions, will cause more and more Palestinians to turn to extremism every day.
Sarge
If the Palestinians would get themselves some decent leaders instead of Hamas, there wouldn't be a need for a blockade.

Give up, Sarge, you're talking to a wall. :)

And by the way, it doesn't look to me like kids in Gaza are dying of malnutrition...

Who said they were? BTW, impoverished inner city black kids have also been known for their basketball dribbling. It hardly justifies the oppression that put them there and keeps them there.
Well, they won't get leaders you find appealing so long as they live in poverty and want. Beating them into submission won't work. Its been tried.
mikehuntez
Too bad...
mikehuntez
That's a 2 way street MistWizard. Beating the Israelis into submission won't work either. They are backed into a corner so jab at them and they'll bite back. Too Palestinians are too dumb to see that.

Sad but true. The extremists here aren't willing to listen to reason, so theres no real point in attempting to reason with them. They'll just come back with some nonsensical rant, like Sabi always does.
