#2 Simply an indication that not ALL Paleos are bat-shit crazy. Just MOST of 'em.

#3 Seems that every silver lining has its cloud:

But while sentiments seem to have turned against the militants, Israeli raids to detain them elicit strong public condemnation among Palestinians, who have long demanded the release of those held in Israeli jails.

#4 This has nothing to do with loyalties, it is strictly a matter of convenience. The Israelis may as well be making the trains run on time for all it matters. The Palestinians will never release their death grip upon the desire for genocide against Israel. It is the core of their existence and the precise thing which discredits them utterly. The same goes for those who wish that Israel would reoccupy Gaza. These exact same people would still shoot at them and harbor snipers without a second thought. This is the usual monumental Palestinian ingratitude and deceit, nothing more or less.

#5 Zenster is probably right. Most of the Palestinians holding this sentiment want Israel to fix everything for them, then go back behind the Security Fence and wait quietly to be wiped out. Some of them, however, really understand that Israel is more trustworthy than their brother Arabs... but they have no doubt been long spotting for the IDF, so this isn't a new idea to them.

Jum'a said ordinary Palestinians were so fed up with the armed groups "they now wish the Israeli occupation would take over in Gaza or hope for the return of Jordanian rule in the West Bank" to get rid of them.

Nuh-uh, Bubbe - you all voted these clowns into ~~office~~ power.

This is YOUR fault. Quit whining like a 2-year-old for someone else to "make it all right."

You broke it, you gotta fix it.

Or keep whining and die. Your choice.

#7 Unlike Israeli reoccupation, Jordanian rule might be a real way out for all concerned.

#8 Methinks Jordan wants nothing to do with it.

#9 Pappy, agreed. WB may not be as bad as Gaza, but I suspect that Jordanians would have to go ballistic at some point, ala Black September, if they ruled WB. Paleos are totally messed up. Unfixable, IMHO, it will get only worse as the indoctrinated kids will get into mid teens, en masse.
