| Palestinian youths listen to song mocking Fatah and Hamas on their mobile phones |

| Gaza – Ma'an – Palestinians youths in the West Bank and Gaza Strip can listen to a one-and-a-half minute song on their mobile phones slamming both Fatah and Hamas. The producer of the song refused to reveal his identity for fear of both movements. The new song uses rap music, it demands Palestinian leaders to either solve their problems or leave the Palestinian people alone. "Either you solve it or leave us… Government and presidency have aroused the fire of dispute… Oh Mahmoud Abbas and Ismail Haniyeh, the Palestinian people are suffering from the civil war." The song derides the Palestinian rival parties and says that their dispute revolved around power rather than Palestinian interests. Dixie Chicks, Rosie, John None of you faced any risk (other than the risk of not being taken seriously and perhaps losing some sales of your product) for your "courageous" critique of Bushitler McHaliburton, The Most Evil Man Who Ever Lived. While you are patting yourselves on the back for the "courage" of agreeing with all the other rich people around you, this Palestinian rap guy, whoever he is, runs a non-trivial risk of actually being killed because he has dared to be a critic of the local goon squads. None of you have ever faced that, and I daresay that if you ever did find yourself living in a Palestinian goon-ocracy or a genuine police state, you'd probably fall into line and be good little lackeys. [/rant] Those of you who are prayerfully inclined should consider putting in a word for the Palestinian rap guy. He could probably use the help. |

| #5 Hamas and Fatah remind me of this Woody Guthrie song we used to sing in public school. Suitably changed, that is: This land is my land, It isn't your land. If you don't get off, I'll shoot your head off. I have a pistol, And it is loaded. This land is private property. |

| #1 Still waiting for the American entertainer who says out loud "All politicians of both parties are hacks and crooks, and you shouldn't bet on any of them, I sure don't" Ain't gonna happen anytime soon, though... |
