Arafat got everything he wanted. If what Arafat wanted wasn't any good for Gazan Palestinians, that's on Arafat, and it's on Palestinians for supporting the duplicitous leadership that they have had since the partition. If Arafat figured the two state deal in Gaza would be beneficial to him...that's why there was a two state deal made in Gaza in the summer of 2005.

FEH! That's yiddish for FEH!

Got any specific ideas finn? Because not obliterating the rocket and mortar installations, not obliterating the command and control operations because they're purposefully hidden behind civilians, says terrorism is fine to the rest of the fucking world. BECAUSE DEAD CIVILIAN PALESTINIANS IS WHAT HAMAS WANTS, EVEN MORE THAN DEAD JEWS. The terrorism and murder of Jews generates what Hamas wants most...the death of the Palestinians they are hiding behind when the airstrikes come.

Reckon if it's Muslims or Jews that the christian world hates more. I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that the Jews were moved to where they are because the christian European and US leadership post WWII figured putting the pain-in-the-ass Jews (that they had been sick of for decades) in the middle of the only people on earth who hate Jews more than the German nazis, the Poles, the French, the Hungarians etc., etc...would benefit the christian world. Maybe the rest of the world will luck out and the mongrels will kill each other off, eh finn?

Remember Monty Python? "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" In this case it's "Nobody expects September 11th."
