#1 So it looks like the light at the end of the tunnel might just be an Egyptian train?

#2 Abbas declared Monday "a day of joy and happiness that our people were deprived of in the past century," adding that statehood, not just self-rule in Gaza, remains the ultimate goal
And the Jooos gave it to you. Not two other Muslim Nations that ruled you. Dirty Jooos. What trickery.

#3 "Hooded Palestinian gunmen stood atop the Palestinian wall."

Undocumented Immigrants lining up for the Guest Worker Program? The hoods must be for working at the Egyptian ski lodges.

#4 The guards later shot and killed a Palestinian when dozens of teens tried to climb over the border wall, Palestinian security officials said. It was not clear why the guards took such action after letting others cross.

"These didn't have any money."

#5 "We must resolve this problem in a civilized manner."

What qualifies as "civilized" for the Palestinians? Polite RPG attacks?

#6 I read a little while ago where the greenhouses the Israelis and som Palestininas built that were worth several million dollars and that provided quite a few jobs and income money were looted today. Here they were given a valuable asset and the first thing they do is destroy it. There is no hope for those people.

#8 Actually, I'm pleased with the looting of the greenhouses: Some paleos and Euros put the squeeze on the Jews who owned them, knowing they'd get a sweet deal from people being forced out of their business and needing to sell quickly. The Jews sold and walked away.

Now they're looted and nearly worthless, with the new owners stuck with a debt, while the Jews got something for their trouble.

/waiting for cries of "Those damn JOOS cheated us!"

#9 Ptah and plainslow-loving it.

"Israel initially hesitated to leave the Gaza-Egypt border as part of the pullout. It agreed only after the Egyptian government promised to deploy 750 troops on the frontier to stop the smuggling. But the border turned to chaos just hours after the Israelis withdrew early Monday, with hundreds of Palestinians climbing over...the towering wall on the Gaza side and then jumping over the low wall on the Egyptian side."

The world is watching you, Palestine, to see whether others have "forced" you to become miserable, or whether you are yourselves miserable.

Where did the notion ever come from that Arab cultures are gracious? Whata crock.

Not according to this: Rewarding jihad terrorism with charity
Within 48 hours, Mr. Zuckerman said, he had his $14 million. And the Palestinians had a shot at inheriting relatively intact the greenhouses whose vegetables and flowers have been a major source of Israeli export income, and, not incidentally, about 3,500 desperately needed Palestinian jobs.

Looks like American Jews elected to hold the bag. Palis get twice the satisfaction in destruction and 3,500 unemployed families. Guess the US will have to up the aid contribution.
