#1 "We will not intervene in any aspect of Palestinian life ... except to convince people in a polite way," said Mahmoud Ramahi, a member of the Hamas politburo who won a seat in the new parliament.

I'd be ROTFLMAO, except that it's 4:20 AM and I'd wake the whole house up. 'Polite ways' no doubt include bombings, torture, stonings and amputations, floggings, and threatening letters. When those don't work, then they'll go medieval on you!

#2 What about all them Christian Paleos?

#3 B-A-R: Christian paleos? Now there's an oxymoron.

But I'll bow to your greater knowledge and assume there are some. They're infidels. What do you think? My suggestion: They apply yesterday to move to Israel.

As for Hamas and ~~Sherry~~ Shariah, this is a perfect example of "As ye sow, so shall ye reap."

I think the Paleos just got reaped. And they elected their own reapers. :-D

#4 But I'll bow to your greater knowledge and assume there are some

perhaps greater knowledge would be a good idea even before ranting so that you might at least sound like you know what your talking about

#5 theres a considerable number of Christian Pals, mainly Maronites and Greek Orthodox, including Hanan Ashrawi.

From what I understand some voted Hamas - probably cause A. Fatah wasnt that great for them and B. They though Hamas would lose, but this would shock Fatah into being less corrupt.

im not sure how this will play out for them - its quite possible Hamas will impose Sharia on Muslims only. OTOH the experience of Christians in Basra in Iraq has not been good, ditto for Copts in Egypt.

#6 As I recall, historically 20% of Palestinians are Christian. However, the number living in the Territories is now less than 8% (per CIA statistics) -- I believe significant numbers settled Stateside, where their children aren't taught to be dhimmis. The leadership of the Christian Palestinian community are as loudly anti-Israel and anti-Jew as their Muslim compatriots. I don't know as much about Israeli Palestinian Christians... perhaps one of our Israeli correspondants could inform us.

#7 The leadership of the Christian Palestinian community are as loudly anti-Israel and anti-Jew as their Muslim compatriots.

Right. Apart from their own LLL-induced anti-semitism, many American Protestant churches get their twisted view on the Pali situation from reports from Pali Christian groups.

I'm not excusing what these churches do - they're happily and willingly drinking the kool-aid without questioning it. As someone once said: "The truth is not in them."
