What is it with Muslims and burning cars? Something tells me Geico doesn't offer coverage in Gaza City.
You mean that while demonstrating they are only shooting, both in the air and at each other, while in a riot they also burn things? Makes sense.
They are delusional and think they're in France!
That looks like hot, terrorist on terrorist action.
Looks like West Warren Avenue in Detroit every night.
Drive through there and you will see ALL signs are in Arabic.
100,000 Arabic speakers in Detroit. nuf said.
Them funlovin' neanderthals! Win= Riot and shoot the place up. Lose= Riot and shoot the place up. Reminds me of a certain other group with their Funerallies.
Nobody does funerallies like the palis do funerallies.

Time to put on a pair of steel toed boots and get their collective attention !
The Democrats are only an election or two from behaving like this themselves.
As you said, eat-your-own ping
The last pic really makes me sad. Another child is being lost to the evil and idiocy of the terrorists.
Were it not for the palm trees in that top one, I might have thought that it was a picture from Paris.

Lets go torch our cars and city! Yeah that will show them.
Looks like Gaza has their own rowdy "youths" to deal with...
Is Carter in any danger?
Demonstrations are when the civil authorities still have some control over the situation.
Riots are when when the police can no longer control the situation.
Since the civil authorities have had no control for years then it would be conceviable to say that the Palestinian districts have been in a constant state of riot ever since the En Fahadah (sp?) broke out.
Hey, they have every right to protest, burn cars, burn tires, shoot guns, and shoot each other. So let's just stay out of it...sit back and enjoy the show...gotta get some pop corn.
I would posit that there's no difference in their case and that they themselves do not know whether they are rioting or demonstrating. Every demonstration there is a riot, and every riot a demonstration. A new hybrid word ought to be coined for it, something like "demoniot"
So, this is where Daryll Gates is working now. What the Gaza needs are some Korean grocers.
