The extremist Islamic State group’s branch in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula has taken a simmering dispute with the Palestinian Hamas group based in nearby Gaza to new levels, releasing a 22-minute video in which it calls on its followers to attack the group and shows the execution of a man it said was a collaborator.

Here’s hoping they engage in back-and-forth revenge killings for the next hundred years.

How do you destabilize that which is not stable? It seems to me this is like worrying about someone throwing a lit match into the middle of a a raging California Wild fire.

Yep, mutual obliteration with or without cake.

Even when Muslims who try hard to emulate Mohammad are not running short of us infidels they have been known to turn on Muslims who don’t emulate Mohammad quite the way they do.

The saving grace is that muslims kill a lot more fellow muslims than they do infidels.

Good thing O’Bozo’s not prez anymore. He’d be right ON the brokering of this peace. And send in a couple Billion Dollars to both sides as a reward for their peaceful agreement.

Nothing like a good game of “let’s you and him fight”...
especially when it is Mooslimes versus Mooslimes.

I have always found the reaction to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of Communists and Leftists all over the world (particularly in the USA) and then to the German invasion of the Soviet Union to be quite revealing.

They were completely, totally, 100% isolationalist, but as soon as the invasion happened, they turned into unrestrained advocates of full-on war.

No shame. No guilt. No explanation. Just a turn on a dime.

But you are correct...Nazis and Communists, two Leftist ideologies going hammer and tongs on each other...who could lose who wasn’t on one of those two sides?
