Chaos in Gaza as Arabs riot, loot, get shot, fire rockets, drown in sea By Israel Insider staff and partners September 12, 2005

Palestinians flooded into empty Jewish settlements Monday and climbed ropes and clambered over walls into Egypt to join a chaotic celebration of the end of 38 years of Israeli military rule over the Gaza Strip.

Plans by Palestinian police to bar crowds from the settlements quickly disintegrated. Militant groups hoisted flags, fired wildly into the air and set abandoned synagogues ablaze. Further marring the day, Egyptian border guards shot and killed a Palestinian along the Gaza-Egypt border, and five Palestinians drowned off the Gaza coast, hospital officials said.

The unrest illustrated the weakness of Palestinian security forces and underscored concerns about their ability to control growing chaos in Gaza. The Israeli pullout is widely seen as a test for Palestinian aspirations of statehood.

Among those crossing the Egyptian border were purported members of the radical Islamic group, Hamas, who waved the group's green flag on Egyptian territory, raising immediate concern over Egypt's ability to meet Israeli demands to prevent militants from crossing the border. It was unclear whether weapons were imported at the time.

Sounds like New Orleans.

"The real question....Will Condi continue to press Israel into providing a Palestinian corridor between the West Bank and Gaza Strip, or will it finally clue in to the administration that the Pallies have a lot of work ahead of them if they want to prove that they're worthy of further concessions toward statehood?"

Oh yea, sure, they are all just confused. Any day now they'll all just throw this Roadmap away and give the land back to the Rightful Owners.

All that, and they didn't even need a hurricane??

The hamas lunatics are going to demand it be declared an islamic republic.

Well, now that the palis have the Gaza Strip back, I guess they'll stop trying to kill all the Jews and drive them into the Sea.

Oops, for a sec I though I was on a Katrina thread...

[Esther Ruth]

It is a humdinger of a title. Has the sun set over there yet? They still have a few more hours.

[conservativecorner]

Nothing to see but raving lunatics folks...move along. END SARCASM! The religion and culture of peace strike again.

So in other words the Israelis are supposed to just sit and let themselves be attacked, on his word that eventually he'll get his act together?

This has been the official position of the Palestinian (non)Authority for its entire existence. Replace "Abbas" with "Arafat" and you will notice the same quotes.

Why would anything change now?

[zygoat]

"Egyptian security officials said they allowed the crossings to take place as a "humanitarian" gesture to families who had been separated for years."

Egyptian relatives? Or are (were) the border crossers Egyptians themselves, just one of the many self-exiled Arab throngs from the surrounding Muzzi countries who decided to call themselves "Palestinian" since about 1973? (They thought they were getting first dibs on that prime Israeli real estate, after the big Arab victory,LOL)Only now their FAllahlands don't want em' back.

>>>someone correct me if i am wrong here, but isn't this their land now? what sense does it make to destroy your own property?...barbarians>>>

Key word there is 'sense'. Of course they will destroy everything that is built up and then look around for the world and cry "But we have nothing to build our home from. You don't expect me to live in a home that a filthy jew pig built do you? We need the America to send us money to build new houses." and of course be completely confused when the rest of the world looks at him like he has rocks in his head.

Oh wait, this already happened.

"Today our people have the right to celebrate their freedom, their dignity."

To me it sounds like their team just won the Rose Bowl what with all the fires and gunshots.

[SevenDaysInMay]

All residential housing should have been left intact to show the Pallies how humans live, not what Philistines have done to themselves.

We are watching a rabid culture devolve. Without other cultures' technologies provided hem, Pallies have a stone age environment by their own hands.

The Palli-perps shall hide among women and children and IDF shall righteously if sadly smite them all.

[EagleUSA]

Perhaps Sharon has given them the rope needed to hang themselves.

I hope there is that twist to it. The sooner the Arabs are gone, the sooner real peace can come to that region.

[squirt-gun]

Militant groups hoisted flags, fired wildly into the air.....

I notice muslims enjoy doing this from time to time...Is this some sort of religious procedure?
