#2 Steve was kind enough to point out that "Acts of Allan" are not covered incidents in the standard Mutual of Gaza policy. I also believe payment is prohibited by the "crossfire" rider and "collateral damage" waiver. Additionally, the hudna discount has been rescinded and the policy premiums are scheudled to rise at the close of Eid later this year. For further details please call Mahmoud in Customer Service.

#3 When the PA cops showed up to get the perps to knock it off the Hammas "gunmen" responsible opened fire on the Cops. Hammas is saying it is going to run Gaza when Israel withdraws. Of course the PA's control will crater and a bloody civil free for all will ensue. Just wonderful. Expect more not less provacation and rocket attacks.

#4 "Palestinian Cabinet minister Mohammed Dahlan said the attack hurt Palestinian interests, and threatened to use force if necessary to stop such activity.

"What took place last night is a national scandal," Dahlan said. "This is unfortunately not the first time that Palestinian victims are being killed. ... We should put an end to this by any means, by force, or by pursuing and convincing"

If you do that again, Im gonna get tough. Yup. THIS time I really mean it. Oops. Oh yeah. I didnt like that. You do it again, and THIS time im gonna get really, really tough. I MEAN it this TIME. .....

Cmon Dahlan. Youre gonna have to get tough soon - YOU'RE running out of time.

#5 ..and threatened to use force if necessary to stop such activity.

Oh, please.

"What took place last night is a national scandal," Dahlan said. "This is unfortunately not the first time that Palestinian victims are being killed.

What I heard: "It's supposed to be JEWS that are to be killed, not one of our own."

#7 I'd call this single incident a... ummm... metaphor? simile? allegory? Hell, I'm not an English major, so I can't be expected to keep them straight. Maybe it's a thick stew, containing all three, plus onions and carrots and turnips, simmered in a rich gravy of vitriol and incompetence for years.

Here are the Israelis, complaining that their government is going to do something they consider wrong, that's going to hit them square in the pocketbooks, for the sake of Peace in the Middle EastÂ®.

Rather than saying "Hoboy! The Zionists are leaving! Now we can take their rich farmland and turn it back into desert and have our own state!" and helping them pack, the Paleos decide to shoot rockets at them.

The Paleos, being Paleos, can't even manage to get the rockets into the right county, instead managing to kill a little kid and injure more.

Has anybody checked to make sure Mac Sennet is really dead? It sounds like something he wrote...

#10 Fred: If you want to use the correct figurative label, metaphor is the closest. Webster's 3rd definition for "archetype" fits nicely too: "An inherited idea or mode of thought in the psychology of C. G. Jung that is derived from the experience of the race and is present in the unconscious of the individual."

Nice analysis.

#11 I wonder what the Palies will tell the families of the kids they killed. Probably blame it on the Jews.
