Palestinians Blow Up Egypt Border? Blame Israel.
What is it that they say about pathetic victim complexes:
Palestinian Foreign Minister Nasser al-Kidwa on Wednesday blamed Israel for chaos at the border, as the frontier remained open for the third consecutive day and hundreds of people streamed freely from one side to the other. Addressing the GA, al-Kidwa said that the situation had been of Israel's making as it had insisted on a unilateral withdrawal from the area...
On Wednesday... Hamas members blew a hole in the concrete fence that runs along the border, having cleared the area to prevent casualties. Palestinian police did not intervene.
The Right often makes the point that Arab culture is marred by a resentful victimage - committed to blaming Israel and the West for all its failings, the Arab world is unable to progress because it is unable to admit the true causes of its decrepitude. And now, we are treated to the spectacle of the Palestinian Foreign Minister blaming Israel for... leaving the Palestinians alone.
