We all knew this would happen, but it’s still hard to witness

The situation in Gaza post-pullout is pretty much what most rational people predicted, and is a shattering disillusionment for those who’d held out hope that the pullout would jump-start the peace process.

Meryl, of course, is all over the story – here, here, and here are a few recent postings. And Lynn had no illusions to begin with, but as she well knows, there’s no joy in this version of “I told you so”.

The Palestinians have been handed a huge opportunity in Gaza to prove to the world that they’re ready for a state. And of course, this opportuity is being squandered, just like all those that came before it.

    Tre? Tre, where are you…?
    Oh there you are, strangely silent as your pals turn state of the art agriculture into desert…again.

    DaninVan,
    Of course Tre will blame this on the Jews. Because every bad thing that her beloved Arabs is the fault of the Zionists.
    The Arabs are good at destroying things even when it will hurt them in the end. Look at what is happenning in Iraq. American troops want to leave but the daily terrorist attacks are delaying their exit.
    The Gaza Arabs are destroying their best chance at improving their economy and proving to the world that they are not terrorists.
    The only thing that explains the Arab behavior is mental illness because normal people don’t act that way.

    Yeah, it’s quite the animal show, isn’t it?

    There seems to be an underlying philosophy to the actions of certain Palestinians, a philosophy that goes like this:(drum roll please)

    WHY BUILD WHEN YOU CAN DESTROY!

    It may not be too bright, but at least those acting on it are consistent.

    How the heck did that scowling face get there?

    You used a colon followed by an open bracket. That creates a :(.

    Well Sari, they should’ve taught me that at Concordia….instead of filling my mind up with Marxist nonsense.

    Then again, the scowling smiley is red, isn’t it.
