#1 I see nothing at all here to indicate that palestine will EVER be a viable state. I'm glad they elected HAMAS, now we arent going to pay any more. There are people in this world who could build themselves a decent life if they had just a little help. The paleos arent them. They havent accomplished shit in 50 years, they are still living in refugee camps and eating govt. cheese.

#2 They should just change the name from Gaza to Thunderdome and sign an exclusive contract with Pay Per View...

#3 a new security unit made up of militants

I feel so much more secure now.

Actually, the hardworking Palestinian offspring have been out-migrating for half a century. They're to be found throughout the Middle East and in the U.S. (and presumably elsewhere), working quietly and sending back a portion of their wages to support the folks back home. Like the Mexicans, this buys big houses and small business. Unlike the Mexicans, also things that go boom. One likely young lad gave Mr. Wife Arabic lessons between visits to the factories of Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

#4 In a certain sense, the Paleo terrorists have succeeded in basically making their entire population human shields. But while doing this they have made their entire population poor, desparate and demented.

The Hamas vs. Fatah action today is merely the continuation of a long running crips vs blood kind of thing. It is indicative of what could happen in east LA someday if current trends are not reversed.

#5 I just read that Abbas has sent in his own troops now. After the Hamas thugs have split of course.

This is like a really dangerous dick swinging contest.

Sorry, didn't catch that. What did you say?

Sure! I'd LOVE some popcorn!
