#1 Somehow I'm having trouble getting real upset about this. I guess they can tell the difference between each side, but I can't.

#2 The very obvious answer for "unity" might once again be found in division, ie, a North and South Palestine, but then you have the Hamas splinter groups? These I suppose might be subdivided into independend East and West Palestinian Hamasaland, or NE and NW something or other. More US embassies, more consolutes....? More diplo-dink bafoonocrats and aid workers? The US State Dept. and UN are bound to love these retro city-state options. Quite progressive, wouldn't you agree?

#3 Seems more like turf wars between rival gangs than anything else. Sharks vs. Jets?

#5 My mutha has a mustache,
My fatha wears a dress,
Goodness, gracious,
That's why I'm a mess.

#6 I'm only upset that the MSM needs to give 'em so much coverage for so long but never critically all along. This is the logical and deserved anti-climax they can only reap. Have fun!

#7 Pretty funny shit, actually. The Paleos / Arabs can't even manage simple stability, and here the MSM woofwoofs are bemoaning that they can't achieve fucking unity.

It's remarkable, but in only 6 years time people, excepting the patriotic residents of the Rachel Corrie fevered swamps, have forgotten that Bush extracted the US from the idiocy of trying to deal with the Paleos, as if their self-determined devolution could be avoided with more Big Hugs and PC-addled Accords. Tanks, Dubya.

#8 Hey that's it!! Bessie is right!!

You have West Palestine (aka Gaza strip) given to Ham-ass and East Palestine (everything on the West Bank that Israel doesn't want) given to Fat-wad.

Not a two state solution, but a THREE state solution!!!!

Nah, I don't think that would work either.

#9 Let them all kill each other, and have Israel take over and clean up what's left. Best solution of a bad lot.

#10 Officer Krumpky you've done it again,
This boy don't need a job, he needs a year in the pen,
He's not disadvantaged, nor misunderstood,
Deep down inside, HE'S JUST NO GOOD.

Chorus
He's no good, he's no good,
He's no earthly good,
He is definately no darn good
