A protest vote, eh? Ask the people who voted for Nader how well that turned out.

This is actually good for them. Now the world has a moment, before the traditional dissembling begins, to take a stand for the people, not the kleptocracy, of Palestine.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

To most people who don’t look past the surface, it would sound like it. All you have to do is to read Palestinian Princess and compare her day to the day of an American fighting in Iraq, via a Mil Blog.

Come back with an analysis once you have, the similarities are not nearly as numerous as the differences.

Whoa… that sounds exactly like what Israel did with its settlements and checkpoints!

I suppose that the belief that there are many innocent, peace-loving Palestinians who only scream death to–you pick the Satan of the day–because the get paid for it would cause us to think twice about wiping the entire population out altogether. But we aren’t going to do that, anyway.
If they can’t do something about their own fate, they’ll be in the position that the German and Japanese civilians were in WW II, and the North Korean civilians were in the Korean War. Helpless victims unable to influence their own fate while a war rolls over them. Well, come to think of it, the Palestinians are victims–to the extent they are innocent of Jew-hate and so forth–of a slow-motion war right now.
Well, they’d better do something PDQ or somebody else will.
Being wondered about from afar isn’t the same as being important.

Besides, the wall only covers like minimal percentages of the border in addition to the fact that there are no suicide bombers coming across as of yet, even with the Mexican military shooting at our boys.

If Mexico was sending suicide bombers, instead of rapists, paramilitary dudes, drug lords, and immigrants they jack and steal from, then our response would not be to build a wall and retreat behind it.

We’d be sending armed expeditions into Mexico, taking over the drug cartel controlled towns, and setting up a little “Iraqi style cordon” with concrete and checkpoints. After fighting terroists in Iraq, a bunch of “powerful and ruthless drug lords” would be rabbits to the tiger.

I’ve stopped expecting much of anything from “Palestine” and “Palestinians.” Think of a small country ruled by the Crips and the Bloods. Or maybe the Mafia. That’s what we’re looking at. A manaical Belize or insane Hong Kong.

The violence will continue. Whether large-scale or small-scale–that’s what the Israeli Army will decide after events play themselves out.

I’m no longer hopeful of seeing any decent “Palestinian” state emerge during my lifetime.

A little off topic here but isn’t there a wall between the US and Mexico?
