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.

Civilized humans don't act this way, there is no way to deal with these "people" at a negotiating table. The only thing they understand is a kick to head.

Time to put on a pair of steel toed boots and get their collective attention !

The last pic really makes me sad. Another child is being lost to the evil and idiocy of the terrorists.

looks like any other night in gaza.

Were it not for the palm trees in that top one, I might have thought that it was a picture from Paris.

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.
