| Nope. I'm not name calling here. Even the animals seethe in Gaza. Gaza – Ma'an – Dozens of horses, camels, sheep, goats and donkeys rallied in front of the UN headquarters in Gaza City on Tuesday in protest of Israel's crippling blockade of the Gaza Strip. The blockade is baaaaaaad! Palestinian activists fitted the animals with signs in various languages reading, "Where is the world's conscience?" Save the children of Gaza", "Gaza is dying; end the siege," "Is the UN an international lie?" and "The UN has to end the siege of Gaza." Awwwwwwww, isn't that cute. The animals have little whiny signs on them! Sami Akila, the spokesperson of the Sunna' Al-Hayat society and the organizers of the rally said if the animals' messages reach the international community, Gazans will try sign language in an attempt to make their appeals understood. Maybe teach the animals sign language. Knock off two birds with one stone... "We know that animals in the world are fed to glut, while the children of Gaza suffer from hunger and anemia and most of them go to sleep without having supper. You are concerned about dogs more than your concern about us contradicting your own human values and the treaties you signed and failed to implement," Akila said, addressing the UN. Chop some of the animals up and have a nice buffet. I'll bet that would get the UN's attention. And, if not, you could feed your starving, anemic kids... The protestors also delivered a message for UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon asking him to save Gaza through implementing the principles of human rights. They said in the message, "Does the Secretary-General await the death of 1,200 Palestinian patients who are denied travel abroad for treatment, before the siege can be lifted?" Teach the animals to play violin. |

| #8 Other signs: We may be animals but we still outrank infidels. I may be unclean but I still smell better than Mahmoud. and Achmed rode me, but not in a good way. |

| #4 This whine would have a lot more resonance were it not the the thousands of dollars wasted firing AK-47s into the air to celebrate a Palestinian butchering Israeli students. The Israelis should wall them off and cut all contact and commerce between Israel and Gaza. Let them truly starve. |

| #3 Well you still have your precious "resistance", what the hell else do you want. By all means, don't quit shooting those homemade bottle rockets at Israel, and don't even talk peace, that would look silly after all the traditional arab bluster we've heard. Suffer you poor dumb bastards, suffer. |
