'You either surf or you fight'

All I could think of was that "Apocalypse Now" quote upon reading this story:

"An 86-year-old Jewish surfing guru from Hawaii is bringing good vibrations to the impoverished Gaza Strip.

Dorian Paskowitz, a retired doctor who has been surfing for 75 years, donated 12 surfboards to Gaza's small surfing community on Tuesday in a novel gesture to promote peace between Israelis and Palestinians."

It's a sweet gesture, but I shudder to see the latest Hamas innovation: Suicide surfboards!

A fantastic gesture. But pretty dumb when you consider the Palistinian record with use of resources. How they screwed up a $14 million gift of an agricultural nursery
project as an example....Not to mention the billions stolen by Arafat while visiting the Whitehouse as an honored Peace Laureate....What a Joke.
