Gaza

If someone ever invents a "Does Not Take Responsibility for Anything Award" to be given to a people, I am going to recommend that the Palestinians top the list of nominees. In fact, my list would look like this:

1. Palestinians
2. Palestinians and their predecessors
3. Terrorists (along with the aforementioned)
4. Arabs living in the West Bank of Israel and Gaza (see the above)
5. Those jerks living in other countries who grow and harvest them.
6. The French for letting them in en masse

For years now, the Palestinians have been lobbing rockets and grenades into Israel and what do they do now that Israel has performed one little military operation back? They cry victim. Judging by some people's comments, it seems to be working, too. Here's a recap of some classics.

"It's not fair. The Israelis have killed more Palestinians than the Palestinians have Israelis."

Einstein, it's not a dance where someone taps you and you tap him back. These are terrorists we're talking about here. Not society debutantes.

"Israel stole the land."

Repeat after me:
The UN partitioned the land and declared Israel a state in 1948. The UN partitioned the land and declared Israel a state in 1948. The UN partitioned the land and declared Israel a state in 1948. Oh, never mind.

"The Israelis target children and civilians."

Hello out there in TV Land. Has it even occurred to you that the terrorists hide among their own people thus putting them in harm's way?

And my number one, all-time favorite, "Israel is the aggressor."

Global warming must be taking a bigger toll than I thought. If anything, the Israeli people have exercised restraint while they have had grenades and rockets rained in on them. It's one of the few places in the world where that kind of thing is tolerated.

Oh, never mind. We'll start all over again later on.
