<< FLAG TO FLY - POSSIBLY ~ MAIN ~ PRE-STOCKED >>
LAWLESSNESS OPPOSED, DEMONSTRATED
Storming goverment offices, firing into the air, raiding courthouses, smashing windows ... that’s the Palestinian way to protest lawlessness!
(Via Yoseph Malkin)
The Palestinians’ inabilty to establish a stable society will be put down to their treatment by Israel but it is also arguable that their wounds are self-inflicted.
The likelihood that Mahmoud Abbas can rescue them from the Islamist cancer, corruption, gangsterism and the pathology that treats the suicide of their own children as a thing of glory seems only a little less remote than it did under the contemptible Arafat.
Nor can we look to the rest of the Arab world for help; quite the contrary, many Middle Eastern countries are more than willing to feed their irrational hatred of Israel with Palestinian corpses.
Watch for massive demonstrations by Muslims demanding that Israel reoccupy the Gaza strip.

Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2006 01 02 at 02:17 PM • permalinkSo, the Palestinians finally score a military victory, taking - what? the public library? - after a pitched battle involving the machine-gunning of any random birds that happened to be flying overhead. If ever there was a people whose sovereignty was “not ready for prime time”, it’s the Palestinians.
This is just the beginning. I read predictions that when Israel withdrew from Palestinian “lands” and built the wall to shut them out, they would turn on each other and fight until they’re so bloody and exhausted they’ll have no choice but to make peace. I don’t know about the peace part. They’ve endured more than a half century of Arafat’s Mafia, and that won’t be undone overnight.
#11 - My prediction was once the Pals were locked up with nobody to kill but each other they’d morph completely into the human equivalent of a bucket of crabs. As much as I enjoy being proved right, this is one of those instances I wish for their sakes I hadn’t been. (Fortunately, as I’m not a leftist such instances are rare) As far as how long it will last—since they seem to be both truly astounding in their fecundity and tireless in their efforts to dig themselves ever deeper into that hole, I wouldn’t count on exhaustion putting a stop to it any time soon. Absent the advent of a leader with sufficient charisma, integrity, and will to force them to stop behaving like spoiled, ill-bred children, it will likely continue indefinitely.
The main problem of course is that it is mostly the leaders who act like spoiled ill-bred children. Ever noticed the behaviour of people who are in to their second or third generation on the dole? Never had a job? Especially if it is a community. Other people’s money is an entitlement. Other people having money is an injustice.
The Palestinian “greivance” was manufactured and nutured as part of a strategy directed at the destruction of Israel from the very start. The PLO was a creature of Nasser. Hamas does not want a Palestinian state and the PA was never serious about letting Israel live in peace no matter what. They want to get rid of the Jews. The rest is tactics.
Israel should pull back to its security barrier when it is finished and leave what happens on the other side to the rest of the world. It will not be pretty. However the mess is not Israel’s fault. Those responsible for the mess can clean it up.
Did you ever see Jennifer Griffith’s reports on the Pali “protestors” a while back? She was interviewing three activists--big goons with black muscle t-shirts and machine guns--about their protest, all about “jobs” in the PA. As they strapped on their ammo belts and grimly marched away, she says something to the effect of..."and as they depart to work a little further on their resumes...”
Very cheeky. :)
Pretty dang funny.
Hey, did you guys see Steyn’s latest? Somebody here is famous! I remember reading this one… who dunnit? Step up and claim the glory:
A commenter on Tim Blair’s website in Australia summed it up in a note-perfect parody of a Guardian headline: “Muslim Community Leaders Warn of Backlash from Tomorrow Morning’s Terrorist Attack.”

Of course it will. Self-responsibility is non-existent in the Arab World.
According to the UN Report on Arab Development, the GDP of the entire Arab League was less than that of Spain. Illiteracy is the highest in the world, employment the lowest. Human rights? What human rights. etc. etc.
Why? Because as long as Arab leaders could convince their population that everything wrong in their life was entirely because of the US and Israel, it saved them worrying about it themselves.
There’s not a single Jew (by law) in Saudi Arabia, and yet half of their problems can be ‘traced’ back to the Jews.
You’ll see it in Micro form in Gaza now. No garbage collection? Israel… Shootings? Israel. Poor education? Definitely Israel. Etc. etc.
And yet, the world will actually believe that it is Israel! This is despite the fact that untold amounts of EU and American money could potentially make the typical Palestinian more wealthy than any other Arab merely from handouts. Of course they’d rather shoot themselves (and Jews) then settle down and get jobs.
This is also why democracy and opportunities for everyone to be successful frighten the hell out of Islamists.
Witnesses said the police did not wear uniforms—in protest at what they said was the Palestinian Authority’s failure to give them the power to restore law and order in Gaza. Some wore masks.
Did the PA give them the power to storm the offices instead? Seems like they decided by themselves. If only they could use their decision making skills in a more productive way - like giving themselves the power to restore law and order instead of adding to the problem.

OK, so they are doers, not thinkers. But maybe it is all a cultural thing, we should learn to appreciate?
