Gaza Back to Egypt

Before the Six Day War, Gaza was a part of Egypt. Then it became part of Israel. Now, with the border between Gaza and Egypt mowed down, should it go back to being part of Egypt? It seems the "Palestinians" living there before the Six Day War were perfectly happy under Egyptian rule. And it giving them back to Egypt (it's interesting to note that Egypt did NOT demand the return of Gaza to them as part of their peace treaty with Israel, and that's probably because they simply wanted NOTHING to do with their "Palestinian" brethren) certainly takes away Israel's supposed responsibility to a population that has been brainwashed into HATING Israel and Jews.

On the other hand, this could become a major security risk because it means "Palestinians" will have an easier time smuggling weapons and armaments into Gaza, thus putting Israel and countless more Jews in danger.

This is really a two-sided coin. Does Israel, as has been proposed, simply shrug off any financial, fuel, food and power responsibility to Gaza and give it to Egypt, where it really belongs? I think this would be great, but doing so may put many, many Jews in danger because we all know damn well that the Egyptians certainly will NOT regulate weapons smuggling into Gaza.

But, on the OTHER, other hand, doing so also means completely closing the borders between Gaza and Israel. Hamas, which runs Gaza (isn't THAT unfortunate!) is an avowed enemy of Israel. So, if they attack Israel, Israel then would have the absolute right to simply bomb the crap out of them the same way ANY nation on this planet has a right to fight back against an enemy state that has attacked unprovoked.

So, I don't know. This seems to be a mixed blessing, but I think more good may come out of it than bad because even if Hamas all out attacks Israel, it'll give Israel all the reason it needs to wipe out Hamas for good and forever.
