It seems the Hamas leaders in Gaza are running scared. They've ordered Palestinian security forces to oppose Israeli troops inside Gaza.
Now the Palestinian security guys aren't exactly friendly to Israel, but they aren't card-carrying members of Hamas and they aren't stupid. If past incidents are any guide the Palestinian security forces will allow the militant martyr candidates to take out the Israeli tanks with mark 1 rocks.
Most of the members of the Palestinian security forces are members of the Fatah party that was soundly trounced in the last election when the Palestinians suffered a mass brain fart and elected a known terrorist group to lead them. I wouldn't expect them to be first in line for the latest in clothing that goes "BOOM"!
Now their entire population is suffering for the asinine decisions made by their elected leaders. No electricity? Blame Hamas. No Food? Blame Hamas. No Water? Blame Hamas. It's come to this point...The Palestinians have forced Israel and the world to face the possibility that peace may not be possible and is clearly impossible given the Palestinian taste in "elected" officials.
It's time for the Palestinians to face up to their history as losers in every significant military campaign they have ever fought. Hell, you couldn't win when you had 16 foot giants and the Israelis had slingshots, what makes you think you stand a chance now? (Yes I know the bible says Goliath was a Philistine...Check out the word origin though; it really amounts to the same thing).
Suck up that unearned pride of yours and start working to make your lives better; maybe you can earn a country for yourselves if you can act responsibly. Start by working with the Israelis and kick the terrorist assholes out (or better yet, send 'em off to get their virgins). Stop encouraging your sons to throw their lives away and start showing them how they can build a better life peacefully.

Good post. But it seems that until someone goes over there and personally grabs each and every Palestinian by the shoulders, gives them a good hard shake and tells them the same thing you said in your post, they just won't get it. And judging by their actions, they prolly STILL wouldn't get it.
I've drawn this comparison before...Julius Caesar once said something like: it's easier to find 100 men willing to die than it is to find one who is willing to endure pain, discomfort and privation with patience.
That's their (the Palestinian's) problem right there. They're willing to die, but they do not have the courage it takes to suck up their pride and do what needs doing to make their lives better. I'd rather have a single man willing to lay still on top of an ant hill than all the idiots willing to strap on explosive underwear.
The Palestinians (and, generally speaking, Islamic culture) have a misplaced sense of duty, manhood and honor. Martyrs only have value as organic fertilizer.
