#7 I'd call this single incident a... ummm... metaphor? simile? allegory? Hell, I'm not an English major, so I can't be expected to keep them straight. Maybe it's a thick stew, containing all three, plus onions and carrots and turnips, simmered in a rich gravy of vitriol and incompetence for years.
Here are the Israelis, complaining that their government is going to do something they consider wrong, that's going to hit them square in the pocketbooks, for the sake of Peace in the Middle East®.
Rather than saying "Hoboy! The Zionists are leaving! Now we can take their rich farmland and turn it back into desert and have our own state!" and helping them pack, the Paleos decide to shoot rockets at them.
The Paleos, being Paleos, can't even manage to get the rockets into the right county, instead managing to kill a little kid and injure more.
Has anybody checked to make sure Mac Sennet is really dead? It sounds like something he wrote... |
Palestinians fired rockets Tuesday at a gathering of thousands of Israeli settlers protesting the upcoming Gaza withdrawal, but missed, killing instead a 3-year-old Palestinian boy and wounding nine other Palestinians in Gaza. Witnesses said militants fired three rockets at the demonstration in the Israeli town of Sderot. Two of the rockets fell in Palestinian areas and the third fell in an open field near Sderot. Among the wounded were five children, aged 4 to 11, including four children of Hisham Abdel Razek, a senior official in the ruling Fatah party and a former Palestinian Cabinet minister. Abdel Razek's wife was also injured.
