I remember the gang fights we used to have when they sang Republican songs at a wedding reception in our Democratic neighborhood. No? No, not really ... That's a lot of their problem, their tenuous grasp on a wider reality. They live lives so constricted by the turgid slogans of their thug governments, they have no way to appreciate the rewards of a more diverse existence.

That’s a lot of their problem, their tenuous grasp on a wider reality. They live lives so constricted by the turgid slogans of their thug governments, they have no way to appreciate the rewards of a more diverse existence.

Or will they, in the usual Palestinian Arab manner, decide that any oppression is worth putting up with so long as the oppressors lead them in killing Jews? My suspicion is the latter. as Hamas tries to turn Gaza into an ideal Islamic state, complete with beheadings, torture chambers, cutting off the fingers of smokers, bans on music and kite flying, and other delightful practices we have seen in Afghanistan, Fallujah, Baquabah, and elsehere in places where the Islamofascists rule, will the people of Gaza decide they don’t like living in a religious utopia?
