#2 Does a strike mean that people like me should be left to die? said the 70-year-old woman.
Suffering from a liver disease, Rabee made the difficult two-hour trip to Ramallah Hospital through several Israeli military checkpoints in hope that a doctor would drain a dangerous buildup of fluids in her abdomen.

if givin the choice of, 'death by liver failure' or 'death by baseball bat',

opt for the baseball bat. believe me.

#3 If you are looking for funds, try any MP's closet. Just open the suitcase full of bills and grab yourself some "walking around" money.

The free ride has ended. The teet has gone dry.
Enjoy your country, if you need help call Hamas.

#5 You know, I used to be a nice person. A long time ago, I felt kinda sorry for the Palestinians, in that they had been used, screwed and abused by their so-called "friends" in the Arab world, and wound up on the fuzzy lend of the lollipop as far as the Israelis were concerned.
But all those mildly sympathetic feelings just sort of drained away, bit by bit by bit. Arafat's corruption and violence... the counterproductive stupidity of the intifada... cheering on of 9/11, and mob murders, bus bombings, the trashing of the greenhouses, and the constant river of duplicity and propagands. The murders of the pregnant woman and her four small children was tne ultimate last straw.
There is no shred of sympathy left. Not a scrap, not a single particle. If I heard on the news tomorrow that every single Paleo in Gaza and the West Bank had suddenly dropped dead of some virulent toenail virus, I'd shrug and change the channel.
I don't even care enough to despise them. I just don't give a damn.

#6 Sgt. Mom, I sure you are still a nice person. You are just expressing what many Americans feel. I feel the same. I might not change the channel. I would probably keep watching, crack open a beer or several in celebration of toenail viruses.

#7 People usually get what they deserve. When you offer nothing, eventually folks wake up and give you nothing in return.
Too bad they're too friggin dense to realize that. But that's not my problem...

#8 That's fewer weapons to murder women and children. Good riddance.

#9 Why are they bitching? I mean don't they have a top-notch sanitation system. I heard their sewage was wide spread. Oh, you mean that's NOT a good thing?????

#10 If I heard on the news tomorrow that every single Paleo in Gaza and the West Bank had suddenly dropped dead of some virulent toenail virus,

Gawd, that's sounds worser than the mythic Fort Detrick turbo-athletesfoot.

#11 What Sgt. Mom said. Word, gal!

#12 When I first became aware of the situation, about when I was a junior in high school, I felt the same way.

That feeling has long since gone the way of the dinasour.

Now I could care less about these people as a group.

What Sgt. Mom said. Me too.

#13 Consider the teenage girl who was treated for burns at an Israeli hospital, and was arrested trying to return there with a bomb pack.

I wonder why the Israelis won't cooperate, don't you?

#14 So when does the Michael Moore documentary come about the Paleo health care system?
