| #4 The Sunni/Shia split is only important in Iraq - Hamas and Hizbullah are like two peas in a pod as far as Israel is concerned. The West Bank is not part of this conflict because it has already been pacified by the IDF. The Israelis have arrested 90% of the hard boyz on the Pal side and are mopping up the dregs at the rate of 50 per week. It's all over bar the stone-throwing over there. |

| #3 I'm just thinking aloud... 1) The Sunnis definitely want to stay out of the retaliation against Shia Hizbollah 2) Sunni Hamas stronghold is in Gaza 3) Sunni Fatah stronghold is in the WB - and they're drawing down our popcorn supplies Do I have these point right? If so, then I believe it's why the WB is largely left out of the current festivities. Apologies if wrong... |

| #1 It's peculiar how there doesn't seem to be any effort to involve the West Bank in the festivities. |
