Palestinian Civil Society Watch - Biting the Hand that Feeds You is Not Smart. Really.
Ignore for a moment how sick a society has to be to have children handing out sweets to celebrate the death of any human being. How about the Palestinians' total and complete inability not to destroy whatever parcel of land or infrastructure they're given:
Egyptian police arrested some 100 Palestinians who swarmed across the Gaza Strip border on Wednesday after gunmen bulldozed a path through the barricade lining the frontier, Palestinian witnesses and officials said. Earlier, two Egyptian soldiers were killed and 37 wounded as thousands of Egyptian security forces were said to have withdrawn from the border with Gaza as they were unable to flow of Palestinians across the border.
First, they heap hatred on the man who gave them the land for a state in the Gaza Strip - then they antagonize and murder the people who are supposedly going to play a major role in funding and supplying that state. There is no conceivable way that antagonizing Egypt is anything but devastating for Palestinian interests. And yet, there it is. The Palestinian Authority's consistent policy of releasing violent terrorists leaders probably has something to do with the ongoing violent terrorism emerging from the Gaza Strip:
Palestinian police on Thursday released a suspect in the kidnapping of three Britons in the Gaza Strip after gunmen went on the rampage demanding he be freed, a spokesman for the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades said. Also on Thursday, authorities succeeded in restoring calm to the Rafah border crossing, after Palestinians bulldozed the border wall. The ensuing riot killed two Egyptian troops and injured dozens more.
At the risk of trying your patience with the staccato "sarcasm - quote - sarcasm" pattern of this post, one more please. Given that the Palestinian Authority is not only unable but unwilling to stem terrorism in Gaza, do you think that Turkey's decision to donate five million dollars to Gaza "projects" will (a) help or (b) hurt stability in the region?
