The problem is you aren't reading, and you certainly aren't responding.

Get back to the start: Isreal took advantage of Bush being a lame duck weenie and went in to clean up the shit coming out of Gaza before there was a change of administration, because they don't know if they will have the old "blind bush" style carte blanche they have had for the last 8 years in the UN. They are also smart enough (way fucking smarter than the Palestinians) to stop and get out of town before Obama gets the job. Until they know who they are dealing with, they have no chance. If they didn't take action now, action later might have been harder.

For the rest of it, well, I feel sorry for the Palestinian people because they have been lead by some of the biggest losers in modern history. Yassir Arafat took them from having almost all the land in the area to being closed down to very small areas (and would have been smaller if the Israeli's didn't give some back... but you don't want to remember that part, do you?).

Now they are down to playing the pathetic card, claiming that their high rise slums are "refugee camps" (no refugee camp has buildings more than 1 story high). They fire missiles into Israel. they chant "death to the zionists", and they engage in acts of terror.

I pity them, but I don't respect them. What they have gotten in the last 2 or 3 weeks is exactly what they earned. The Palestinian people as a whole need to wake the fuck up and stop supporting terrorism, stop trying to wipe Israel off the map, and stop being idiots. Every time they fight back, they lose more. Will they learn only when they have been pushed into the sea or into Egypt?

Sorry, but to blame Israel for all the problems is just ignorant.

BTW, thanks for suggesting I would have voted for Bush. Proof you have no clue.

(ahh yeah, and end it. go bait someone else for a while with your horseshit).
