Eid Mubarak?

Apparently, playing with guns (a game of "Martyrs and Zionists?") is a favored hobby in the Palestinian territories during the Eid al-Fitr celebrations.

Such a peaceful, homicidal bunch those Palestinians are... (Update: Tim Blair has taken a moment to point out a—snicker—coming Palestinian brain drain. "Who saw this coming?")

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.

*Of course, this presupposes that there was a "brain" to drain within Palestinian society. If there was a "brain" they would have sought peace long before now. They would have turned their areas of control into thriving communities and not remain similar to areas like those of darkest africa.

Compare those countries that are busy with peace to those who are focused on war and killing and you will find drastic differences in the quality of life.

Hate eats at the soul leaving only evil.
