#1 They sound too far gone to ever get a grasp of this cause and effect thingy.

#2 "Even if I lose money, our self esteem is more important than economic gains,"

Then this is a win-win situation-- we keep the aid money and he keeps his self-esteem.

#3 It sounds like everyone is happy. I like it when everyone is happy.

#5 
Palestinians didn't expect such a quick deterioration after Hamas's rise.
Proving they're even dumber than we thought they were.

Cause, meet effect.

Ain't democracy grand? As ye sow, so shall ye reap. You voted for Hamas, assholes - looks like you're getting reaped.

Is there something in the water....?

#6 Better make that low end pin on the sympathy meter out of titanium, 'cause mine's pegged HARD against it. The Paleos did this to themselves and they deserve whatever bad comes of it--and worse. Besides, it's as Allan wills, right?

#8 This story would fill me with warm fuzzies if I thought there was a chance that the world would actually let them live with the consequences of their actions. They'll show some pictures of big-eyed little children and weeping women, maybe hide the more psychopathic members of the family for a day or two. And the world will go "awww" and give them whatever they ask for. They have the measure of us. Our humanity will destroy us in the end.

#9 Barbara, I believe they get all their water from the Israelis, so I don't think it's the water.

#11 BH, I don't think so. This has already dropped out of the news cycle. No one really likes these guys. The ones that say they do are really just supporting their anti-Israeli antics. They have had almost 60 years of welfare from the world and donor fatigue has finally set in. There is no compelling desire to give them so much as a crust of bread as long as they can afford "celebratory gunfire" and can indulge their mindless attempts to kill Jews with rockets.

#12 For decades the Palestinians have portrayed themselves as desperate, forgotten by the world and as having nothing to lose. Now they're getting a whiff of real desperation and finding out things could be quite a bit worse.

The irony will be lost on them, but I'm amused.

#14 threatening a halt in vehicle traffic and factory activity.

No more car swarms? Whatever shall the family do on the weekends now!? Also, I wasn't even AWARE there were factories in Paleo territory. Isn't that like saying "Here's a big, expensive symbol of the West, lets bomb it"?

#15 RWV, that sounds like wishful thinking, but I hope you're right. My perfect scenario: Move the paleos to NKor, and give the North Koreans a state next to Israel. I can't think of a more deserving people than the paleos to live under Kimmy's regime.

#16 Someone better call HRW and Amnisty International! The Paleos may have to cut down on their Jew-killing to be able to afford to feed their children. We just can't have that!

#18 Any society that can't understand cause and effect is a bad place to send valuable foreign aid.

#19 #9 Ptah - I was being sarcastic.

I wonder, since they do get their water from the Israelis (god knows they can't do anything themselves), if it's ever occurred to them that the Israelis could do to the paleos what the paleos definitely would do to the Israelis if the water situation were reversed.

They should be grateful they don't get their water from Egypt.

#20 I have to agree with the sandwich shop owner about "self esteem". The Palestinians have to ween themselves off aid sometime and develop some type of economy. This is could be the global equivalent of welfare reform. Unfortunately, I expect the Euros to cave in at any moment and re-start the subsidies for terror, corruption and dysfunction.
