#2 the kidnappers were among the 60 armed Palestinians who earlier in the day occupied the local governor's headquarters and Interior Ministry offices in the town, demanding jobs with the Palestinian Authority. They took Cremonesi in an attempt to bolster their claims, the officials said.

Only in Paleostan does kidnapping seem like a resume builder.

#3 Good one Baba Tutu!

I would recommend that the Paleos pay close attention to what Maj.-Gen. Ziv has said

"An hour after we leave the field, there will be a strategic change...in the nature of our response to even an attempt at terror," Maj.-Gen. Yisrael Ziv, the military's chief of operations, told Israel Radio. "We shall have a far more extreme reaction to any attempt."

Think they'll take notice? ...nah, me neither...

#4 The crossing is the Palestinians' main gateway to the outside world, and the Palestinians are afraid that its closure â coupled with existing restrictions on entry to Israel, and the lack of a harbor or airport â would lock up Gaza's 1.4 million residents.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Correct!

I'm sure your Eyptian brothers will allow you free entry to their country.

#6 Palestinian security officials said the kidnappers were among the 60 armed Palestinians who earlier in the day occupied the local governor's headquarters and Interior Ministry offices in the town, demanding jobs with the Palestinian Authority.

"We know who they are, but we're not gonna do shit."

#7 I fail to see any grasping of Cause/Effect in this article. They have not even noticed that with Isreali citizens gone they now live in a free fire zone.
