#2 foisting humanitarian and security responsibilities

Clearly, this writer doesn't think the Paleos should take care of their own security and humanitarian problems. I thought that's what Hamas was supposed to do. That's why they were 'elected'. Where's the UN when you need them?

#4 "But there ain't no snow in Gaza!"

And if there was, it would be from the perfidious Juice messing with the weather.

#5 Have you ever seen the traffic in Gaza after a light dusting of flurries? Makes the reaction in DC seem like the definition of nonchalance.

#7 Stinky rhetoric: "Palestinian frustration" smells just like the term "immigration reform" whenever it gets into the MSM or into op-ed pieces.

#8 ...Egypt's refusal to open the border to trade.

Perhaps because the last time they "traded" the Egyptians ended up with a boatload of phony greenbacks from Iran.

#9 I thought closing the border sowed frustration. Now opening the border sows frustration. Reminds me of my cat. Paws at the door. Makes a big stink till you let him out. Within seconds, something displeases him. So he scratches and wails until you can't stand the racket and let him back in. In, out, in, out, and if you tire of the game before he does, he'll punish your recalcitrance by pooping somewhere very personal.

However: at least he's furry and cute.

#10 The Paleos are well-aware that they are on their own iff-n-when the Arab-Muslim local, regional existential fight agz Israel is over, moreso iff Israel survives.

Again, unfortunately for the Paleos MUSLIM/ISLAMIC HISTORY = indics that ANY DE FACTO SUCCESSFUL DEFEAT OR DESTRUCTION OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL DOES NOT MEAN THEY GET TO CONTROL THEIR LANDS OR A SOVEREIGN PA STATE.

Ancient Israel-Judaea, Egyptians, Sejik + Ottoman Turks, Persians, Syrians, Meso-Babylonians, even vee the ancient Phoenicians.

Now comes the Sunni-KSA-versus-Shia-Iran struggle for domination of Islam + Islamic World per se.

Wish 'em luck becuz they are gonna need it whether Israel exists or not.
