#1 Remember all those Resort Hotels the Palestinians trashed along the Gaza Coast? No tourists there? Whose fault is that?

And the nice Airport they had? Trashed too? And who did that to themselves? The Palestinians? Were they THAT stupid? Guess.

Remember the huge Israeli Complex of Greenhouses for Vegetables and other products the Palestinians destroyed because the Israelis originally built the place and then GAVE it to the Palestinians? And what did the Palestinians do to create and build? Palestinians don't DO creating and building.

Well, do they? Then the Palestinians bit the Egyptians on the hand. Smooth move there, Abdrool.

Times are hard for the stupid.

#4 If Arab Paleostinians were a race, racists would have all the proof they need to justify their racisim.....but they're not a separate race.

They're a part of a distinct religio/cultural grouping. They should be crawling with anthropologists and sociologists studying what it is about that group that makes them "eat" each other like rats in an over crowded cage.....but they're not cause you don't want to harsh the PC mellow.

#5 Before the 20th Century, history usually showed what happened to failed political and cultural systems. Now various foreign governments and NGOs spend their time and other people's resources preserving them as 'unique environments'.

#6 Palestinians don't DO creating and building.

But destroying is soooo much easier than building, and given the way they do things, building is out of reach.

#7 Palestinians don't DO creating and building.

Nonsense. They've got beautiful marble, brass, and glass shopping malls, beautiful expensive hotels and apartment buildings, a beautiful and expensive amusement park... One can do such things when the Israelis can be trusted to precisely target miscreants, leaving the beautiful and fragile uninvolved buildings untouched.

#9 Doesn't look too bad...buy footware by the shoe, grab a bite at White Casbah, and watch the children get dressed up for their marriage. Very modern.
