#1 On the bright side, at least the mountains of garbage will block future sewage tsunamis.

#5 For a second, I thought it read 'immediate sanity catastrophe'. My bad.

#6 When there is a strike, it brings us very near to a health, environmental and sanitary catastrophe,

The Palestinians' very existence already achieves this without the help of sewage floods or garbage strikes.

#9 Maybe they're waiting for the US Armed Forces to clean up their garbage like we do in Sadr City. After all, at root it's Bush's fault.

There isn't, Bobby. Despite how Iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia merit our attention more, it is the Palestinians alone who top the charts as this world's most hapless collection of moron fuckwits. No one is more deserving of the suffering, mayhem, fueding and murder that they bring upon themselves. They simply cannot die quickly enough. The only way that they make a substantial contribution to this world is by killing each other. Anyone sufficiently stupid to have an iota of sympathy for these malignant psychopaths deserves to share their fate.

#11 If the garbage collectors won't pick up your garbage, then strap on your AK-47 and take your own garbage to the dump. These people have been on the dole for so long the idea of actually doing something productive is alien (unislamic?). The Paleo problem is not unique to them. The world is full of people who produce nothing but children and think that the world owes them a good standard of living.

#12 For a while there, I thought the headline said that even the garbage is going on strike in Gaza.
