Religion of Border-Hopping (and Peace!)

The Palestinians prove their "peaceful" intentions yet again:

The usual crocodile tears follow, of course. After all, it's not like these men's deaths are their own fault or anything... right?

Two Palestinian militants infiltrated Israel from the Gaza Strip early Saturday, attacking an Israeli military position before soldiers tracked them down and killed them, Israeli officials said. The incident raised the death toll to eight Palestinians in less than 24 hours of Israeli-Palestinian violence. (AP Photo/Khalil Hamra)

In case you haven't figured it out already, this is all an act (link pending). Keep that in mind whenever you run into these faux-heartbreaks in your morning paper.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:

The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

The muslim wackos have been behaving like this for centuries. If they don't weep and wail for their 'martyred-departed' then they run the risk of being stoned themselves, as infidels.
Why the press of the world can't see through such primitive, mindless peer-pressure tactics is sickening.
