Well, well, well.

The Democrats have the Civil War they’ve been hoping for since 2003 in the Middle East.

Unfortunately, it isn’t in Iraq....(chuckle)

Do we still get the Looney Toon in addition to the main feature, or is the Looney Toon the main feature?

Yes, but their side, Hamas, is winning or has one.

I have noticed that the more radical and brutal and outrageous and barbaric the movement, the more support they get from the Democrat party.

The NBA Finals lasted longer than this showdown.

Hamas is more exciting than the Spurs to boot.

The fighting has already halted aid shipments from Israel.

Electricity and water should be next.

While true, there will be few of the Hamas members for the Israeli’s to kill during this summer and fall.

Works for me.

Over a 100 people killed? Seriously? That’s it?

I doubt it. Something tells me that Reuters is massaging the numbers to make the Palestinians appear less barbaric. If this was a story about an American military action, the text would read something like...

“Americans massacred hundreds of civilians. Doctors complained that the hospitals were unable to keep up with the unending stream of wounded and dead...”

Etc.

The Palestinian problem: chaos and religious jihadism wrapped in fratricide.

The Liberal Answer: Give these poor people more money from the West.

This should be a good one - I’ve read in spoilers that Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon make cameo appearances.

Right now I kind of like the idea. Give them a bunch of guns and bombs so they can more efficiently kill each other. If all goes well, Israel will just have to come in and clean up the mess after it's over.

Dude, please. If it was America, they would be writing

"huge number civilian casualties among the piles of dead. - Independent survey conducted by EU think tank in Denmark conclusively proves that well over 150,00 civilians are dead.
UN holds emergency session and passes a motion strongly condemning the US and calling for immediate cease fire and reparations to victims as world opinion strongly condems American leader George Bush."

Amazing that Israel gives aid to these baboons.

To me it shows that all this talk of a state etc means more to outsiders than it does to the people of Gaze.

The farce that there are 'moderates' in the PA is coming to an end.

The Fatah was far more dangerous in the long run than Hamas since it attempted to give the impression of being for a Democratic gov't, when in fact, it was never any different than the old PLO.
