WHAT IS OCCURRING IN THE GAZA STRIP THESE DAYS IS TRAGIC….

It was also pretty predictable, wasn’t it? Wasn’t it, really?

So, what do decent people (one presumes they did not vote for Hamas in last year’s elections) DO when their livelihood, their homes, and their lives and the lives of their families are threatened by the criminal gangs now fighting over the land they live in?

Well, at least some of them leave the Gaza Strip…...for Israel. It will be extremely interesting to see how this plays in the international media…..Palestinians leaving the “country” ruled by Palestinians in favor of living in the “Zionist entity”—for safety.

READ THE WHOLE THING

Well, we know what the BOSTON GLOBE thinks, anyhow.

The Hamas campaign to eradicate Fatah from Gaza is certainly not the sole cause of Gazans’ misery. They long suffered from Israel’s suffocating occupation, and then from Ariel Sharon’s foolishly unilateral withdrawal in 2005, a move that allowed Hamas to bid for power with the misleading claim that its rockets and suicide bombings had driven Israeli soldiers and settlers out of Gaza.

Expect more of this kind of thing….ideology over honesty.
