Natalie Solent carries a BBC story on three Palestinian defendants who were beaten to death by Brownshirts an angry mob in court. As the Brownshirts angry crowd besieged the building, gunmen, some masquerading as policemen, (somehow - we know not how!) managed to get hold of the defendants. They then beat and shot dead the three men, who had been convicted of killing a Palestinian security official, Osama Qmeil, last week. The defendants were killed in the court's bathroom, where police had tried to hide them after about 500 thugs people stormed in.
Heartwarming. Simply heartwarming. "We are all Palestinians," as the kiddies so succinctly put it during the New York gathering last weekend.A good indicator that any government is better than anarchy, or as Hobbes described man's natural state of violence:
"Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of war, where every man is enemy to every man, the same consequent to the time wherein men live without other security than what their own strength and their own invention shall furnish them withal. In such condition there is no
place for industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving and removing such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."
Which is the reason why Arafat and the current PA is and has been irrelevant.

In Palestine, the fun's just starting when they're dead!

What will it take for the left in the west to suddenly stop taking the side of the terrorists? If 9/11 didn't do the trick, what would? A bomb at a university, a bomb at the UN, what would it take?
