These are the Same people that have lived here for a million years and could do nothing to improve the sand, Israel did it in 60 years.

The only way for Muslims to succeed is to keep the sheep poor.

Prosperous people don't need to get their reward or 72 virgins in the next world.

The international boycott of Hamas is having some unintended consequences.

What a silly statement!

Of course it can't have "unintended" consequences. The very purpose of a boycott is to force the killers to choose survival or destruction. Survival, of course, beginning by abandoning the goal of destroying the state it claims to own: Israel. And the decision to begin to create a civilized society, if it is possible to do so after five generations of single-purpose murdering existence.

The "palestinians" are simply a tool, a weapon, of the Umma. It has performed exactly as intended.

So every Palestinian cheered on 9/11??

I have no doubt that some did, but certainly not all of them.

All they have to do is recognize Israel and renounce violence to get the money.

IOW, be careful of what you wish (or vote) for.

You asked for it, pallies, and you got it!

But, but, but, but, didn't BBC and Reuters and NBC and CBS and Jimmy Carter all tell us that the reason Palestinians voted for Hamas was because they weren't "corrupt" like Fatah and they had a well-run infrastructure of health care services, food banks, day care centers, and recreation facilities?

Could BBC and Reuters and NBC and CBS and Jimmy Carter all lie to us?

Try telling that to the media. Soon enough George Bush will be blamed.

I would surmise from their most recent election that a majority of palenstenians did indeed celebrate 9/11.

At the Lebanon Paradise supermarket, an elderly veiled woman has come to beg for change. "A woman like that would never have done such a thing before," says Imad M'ttar, the owner

Maybe it's that noxious hag who was filmed handing out candy on 9/11. Screw all of them. They made their bed of nails, now lie in it.

Shi'ite does happen. Recall that Hamas was planning on assassinating Abbas. Since when does terrorism and treason win elections? Everything that comes their way is deserved. The Palis must rise up and throw these terrorists out on their own and, if necessary, with violence. Otherwise, they will die of starvation, disease, and lack of medical care. So be it.

"The "palestinians" are simply a tool, a weapon, of the Umma. It has performed exactly as intended."

Exactly! In the looking glass logic of the Islamist, this is an opportunity. It dumps the old, footsi PLO/FatAss and will leave the stronger Hamas victorious, the West supplicating and the Death to Everyone still in place. Watch for more real and 'created' video of paliwog suffering. Sofar everything is working to Hamas's benifit. For now. Rice/Bush the EU are idiots if they go crawling back, begging Hamas to forgive them.

My semantics donation: If the libbies think that there is an anti-Christ then does that mean they acknowledge that Jesus is Christ? They can't create one out of a vacuum. LOL!

Palestinian Authority's environmental protection agency

Did anyone else chuckle when they saw this. Trying to picture the PA EPA and its functions, while its people strap on bomb belts...

Staff at the Palestinian Authority's environmental protection agency are grounded for lack of petrol money and are no longer able to monitor levels of industrial waste and sewage entering the water supply.

Oh my gosh. We have to rush them money right away!
