Children of Convenience

It's Friday, which means it's time for yet another protest calling for the opening of the Gaza border. And lo and behold, it would appear that Hamas has trotted out one of our regular (and very adorable) little anti-Israelis in this little rally. Of course, events like these are nothing but attempts by Hamas to shield their "more" violent members behind the cloak of innocent women, children, and elderly—which is a ruse. Nothing more, nothing less.

Hamas Islamists, who seized control of the Gaza Strip in June, would take over the West Bank if Israel pulled out of the territory, a senior Hamas leader said on Friday.

I'll say it again:—It is absolutely surreal to be able to watch someone grow up over such a vast distance for no reason other than they make for a convenient propaganda ploy for the cameras. If this keeps up, I think I'm going to have to dub her, Li'l Rage Girl.

[Ed.:—Nevermind that their fathers are terrorist murderers. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain --er, I mean on the other side of the border!] Palestinian children take part in a protest calling for the end of Israeli sanctions on Gaza November 9, 2007. The banner reads, "Open the crossing. I want to see my father". REUTERS/Ibraheem Abu Mustafa (GAZA)

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.
