What a Palestinian State Would Look Like

Since Israel's disengagement from the Gaza Strip, the Palestinians have basically been left to their own devices. The world has gotten an eyeful of just what a much-anticipated Palestinian state might look like, and it's not a pretty picture.

The dust hadn't even settled after the last of the Jews had been removed from Gaza when Palestinians resorted to form. Looting and demolishing buildings they might otherwise have been able to reside in, the Palestinians displayed the sort of destructive and dysfunctional behavior they've become known for. They soon graduated to burning down synagogues, a time-honored tradition from the days of Nazi Germany. In a final orgy of idiocy, they tore apart the expensive greenhouses that altruistic Jews, among others, had foolishly purchased for them in the hopes that they would actually produce something. Who needs food when you can destroy a greenhouse instead?

When reported at all, such actions were described by the mainstream media merely as harmless "celebrations" or chalked up to the frustrations of a "long-oppressed" people. Behavior that would be deemed unacceptable were it exhibited by any other group suddenly became fodder for touchy-feely news segments. None of these "reporters" came to the obvious conclusion that had any unarmed Jews remained in the evacuated settlements, they would certainly have been slaughtered by these peace-loving Palestinian mobs.

Facing a decrease in Jewish targets, the Palestinians have begun to eat their own. Vigilante killings have gone up exponentially this year, while kidnapping, theft and lawlessness in general is also on the rise. Hamas managed to blow up 16 Palestinians during a routine "work accident" at one of their famous kid-friendly rallies. Yet another rally to "celebrate" the pullout was disrupted by shots fired into the air and crowds stoning the stage. Honor killings, already a regular feature of Palestinian society, continued on unabated. Then there was the small matter of an American and a British reporter being kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.

In a glimmer of what "Palestinian democracy" is likely to portend, the terrorist group Hamas appears to be heading for a takeover of government institutions. Should they succeed, senior Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar has promised to install Shari'a, or Islamic Law, under which both dancing and gays won't be allowed. I'm sure members of QUIT (Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism) will be speaking out against this injustice any day now.

Anyone wondering what a Palestinian state might look like has only to observe the behavior cited above to get an answer. Palestinian culture, such as it is, has been mired in hatred for so long that they have little else to put forward. The death cult that has subsumed their society is in fact what they offer the world. While people all across the globe, including Jews, have survived upheaval and gone on to forge new lives and societies, the Palestinians seem to be incapable of creating anything. Without Israel providing them with water, food and jobs (before the Intifada) and the "international community" pumping them with money, they would simply die off in the desert or be subsumed by their more powerful Arab neighbors. In fact, the latter outcome appears more likely by the day.

But it doesn't have to be this way. Long ago, I commented on the Palestinians' potential for achievement should they ever choose to redirect their considerable energies toward more productive pursuits. Indeed, the skill at which elaborate effigies of Israeli and American symbols are constructed and later burned displays a certain penchant for detail. If only effigy factories were a thriving industry, the Palestinians would be all set.

Another Palestinian talent is public relations, an essential component of which consists of constant whining. In fact, they have a whole film industry devoted to producing such propaganda and manipulating the gullible Western media. It's called Pallywood. A fascinating, short documentary (available online) by that name exposes the sets, actors, props and dupes for the world to see. Not that this will stop anyone from continuing to take part in the charade. Like I said, when you're good, you're good.

From its mythical beginnings to its continuing ability to attract followers, the "Palestinian cause" has taken on a life of its own. It's the Third World "resistance movement" de jour and entire classes of Westerners would have no purpose in life if not for its existence. The Palestinians can literally do or espouse anything and the world will willingly turn a blind eye. What's more, they're falling all over themselves to offer these paragons of virtue their own state.

For my own part, I'm ready to give the Palestinians their own homeland right now - on Mars, that is. Come to think of it, I wouldn't wish that on Mars. Okay, Egypt, they're all yours.

Gaza is an open sewer filled with vermin.

What a Palestinian State Would Look Like......????

How about a crater on the moon?

I like that video, where the Palestinian shooting an AK like a typical Muslim bites lead.

Have to ask... aren't these some of the wonderful people who belong to trop?

Their culture is just as good as anyone else. We are stronger through diversity. We should embrace and understand them...

I fully agree with your sentiment. But look at Zimbabwe, which was once Rhodesia. It had a functioning economy, profitable farms, good infrastructure, primary and even secondary industries (arms, trains, and mining equipment), a first world health system, budget surplus and security. Everybody in the world (except the whites in southern Africa) wanted Mugabe to take over. The result:

Nothing left. The place has been ravaged. 12 Mio. starving. The world is mum.

South Africa is going down the same drain. When the pals took over Gaza I knew this would be the result. The problem is that pointing to this obvious result is apparently no valid argument in the liberal playbook which governs international politics.

And Codi Rice wants Israel to make it easier for the so-called "Palestinians" to enter Israel?

The muzzies just want to kill all the Jews. They also want the entire world to be under there stupid muzzie laws. Which, in the case of America, means that we have constant calls for the overthrow of the country in Mosques. islam = treason.

Egypt had them before. They don't want them there either. The Palestinians are the "bastards" of the arabs. All the others claim to love them so much but won't let them live there because they cause too much trouble.

[Ditto]

Palestinian culture, such as it is, has been mired in hatred for so long that they have little else to put forward.

It's a culture completly founded on hatred. That is all it has or ever will have. Someone once said that there could be peace there at any time if the Palestinians only loved their own children more than they hated the Jews. But they don't and never will. They only love death.

followers of TROP show their true colors once again!

"Facing a decrease in Jewish targets, the Palestinians have begun to eat their own."

We should send them fava beans and let the Italians send a fine Chianti.

Smart move in a way by Israel, if only the media would report honestly about it.

The "Roadmap to Peace" is an abomination, a pox on America.

The New World Order Globalists are in bed with the Mohammedans and are fighting a Wo(some)T.

The evidence that America is at the House of Saud's beck and call is mounting up in dead bodies world wide.

"South Africa is going down the same drain. When the pals took over Gaza I knew this would be the result."

Apartheid's not dead. It just went online.
