Chaos in Gaza as Arabs riot, loot, get shot, fire rockets, drown in sea By Israel Insider staff and partners September 12, 2005

Palestinians flooded into empty Jewish settlements Monday and climbed ropes and clambered over walls into Egypt to join a chaotic celebration of the end of 38 years of Israeli military rule over the Gaza Strip.

Plans by Palestinian police to bar crowds from the settlements quickly disintegrated. Militant groups hoisted flags, fired wildly into the air and set abandoned synagogues ablaze. Further marring the day, Egyptian border guards shot and killed a Palestinian along the Gaza-Egypt border, and five Palestinians drowned off the Gaza coast, hospital officials said.

The unrest illustrated the weakness of Palestinian security forces and underscored concerns about their ability to control growing chaos in Gaza. The Israeli pullout is widely seen as a test for Palestinian aspirations of statehood.

Among those crossing the Egyptian border were purported members of the radical Islamic group, Hamas, who waved the group's green flag on Egyptian territory, raising immediate concern over Egypt's ability to meet Israeli demands to prevent militants from crossing the border. It was unclear whether weapons were imported at the time.

Ismail Haniyeh, a Hamas leader in Gaza, said the group "will support any step that will produce something for our people" but made clear that it has no plans to disarm as long as Israel controls the West Bank and Jerusalem exists in any form whatsoever.

There, that's better.

I was listening to Isreal internet radio, they quoted a liberal "rabbi" who was asked what he thought would become of the synagogues in Gaza. This sick minded idiot said something to the effect of, "I would hope that they would used them to open a interfaith dialogue"…this just in, he was wrong, they burned them to the ground.

It seems to me that the terrorists in Gaza no longer have anybody they can attack effectively. The Israelis, civilians and military, are practically out of reach. The terrorists have some inaccurate rockets, but thats it. Counterbattery fire should suffice.

Who do the Palestinians think they are? Residents of New Orleans? What is this, the Big Middleastern Easy? More evidence that the Palestinians are an uncivilized mob, by and large.

If its abandoned, its no longer a synagogue. Just an empty building. The Pali's are such a foolish people.

Precisely. Sadly when, not if, the Palis launch a rocket attack on Israel that draws blood, the retaliation need no longer be "measured" because of additional attacks on the now-abandoned Israeli settlements in Gaza.

The retaliation can now be "massive," and maybe then the Palis will begin to get the message.

"I notice Muslims enjoy doing this from time to time...Is this some sort of religious procedure?"

- Actually...Yes. Their favorite proclamation "Allah Akbar" actually means "Allah is Greatest". The word greatest denotes that their must be a lesser god than Allah for him to be greater than. This deep rooted psychosis of superiority complex mixed with humiliation and desperation at the truth that their culture has produced nothing but misery the last 1400 years, has Muslims needing to point their fingers at everyone else for their failures since their "greatest god" couldn't possibly be so inept. So, what we have from these Muslim displays, from a psychosomatic perspective, are actually a desperate attempt to find any inkling of victory to suppress their humiliation that their God doesn't really exists at all and they have all been brainwashed and fooled terribly into living a lie which reduced them to the stature of a jackass.

Burn the synagogues/seminaries in Gaza and protect the mosques throughout Israel; talk about twisted pretzel logic.
