FATAH AND LAZIAH
Those Fatah boys ain’t real motivated:
Abu Mahmoud is a 38-year-old Palestinian Authority soldier and a proud member of the Fatah party. But if you ask him what he did during the war with Hamas in Gaza last week, he smiles apologetically and waves a hand.
“It wasn’t my shift, so I stayed at home,” he explains ...
Actually, more people in that region could do with Abu’s attitude. Maybe peace would break out if all of them were rostered off.
With motivated fighters like that, no wonder it took only six days for the Israelis to kick arab ass back in 1967.

Shouldn’t that say something to people who absolutely don’t get it about Palestinian society? This argument about who should get aid, Hamas in Gaza, or Fatah anywhere, is moot. Wouldn’t a better question be “What are we funding when we give money to them”?
Julia Gilliard will no doubt point out that had Abu Mahmoud signed an Australian workplace agreement, he would not have had any time off from fighting for his cause.
“Under John Howard’s work choices legislation, Fatah gunman Abu Mahmoud would have been forced to negotiate away his right not to fight for what he believes in for a mere 47c extra an hour,” she will say.
“Under a Gillard-ACTU government, all Fatah gunmen will be guaranteed the right to run away without any loss of conditions.”seriuosly, I think Abu Mahmoud has adequately explained why Hamas won.
Hamas, Fatah and Hezbollah will make sure that there is no progress towards a state for the so-called Palestinians except countries like Jordan, which is Palestinian in everything except name. It, along with Syria and Lebanon, are 20th century constructs from a general area ruled by the Ottomans from Damascus. It is often lost in discussions of displaced Palis that (a) Jews bought a lot of land quite legitimately even before the state of Israel was (after a UN vote) declared, and that they have done the same in the West Bank; and (b) that many “Palestinians” abandoned their homes at the behest of their misguided leadership, who instilled fear of the consequences of the declaration of the Israel and the fighting which was inevitable. Those who stayed did not become refugees. Those who did leave have become pawns, breeding colonies of refugees whose lives are held cheap by all of the powerful state and non-state factions in the region. That they are still being kept in “refugee camps” sixty years later is an indictment of the governments surrounding Israel. Rather than absorb them into their poulations, they are kept festering and suffering for political purposes. It is this sort of torture which has deformed the aspirations of mothers to the grotesque degree that they approve of suicide missions against Israel. But then, suicide missions against fellow muslims have become commonplace too. This endemic derangement of ME minds has no easy cure.
Six years old? These people are sick.
Innocent sent as Suicide Bomber.

Just like the French and their working hours. Not much use if Fritz is putting in a little overtime driving a few tanks down the Champs Eleyses.
