The "Palestinian strategy" is working

speaking of obscene...
Children rummage through garbage cans for discarded food for their one meal during the day. Families wait to buy discount-priced vegetables left unsold in the evening. These are not locally exaggerated accounts of the situation in Palestinian areas, but an official account by the World Food Programme.

they voted... they made their choice... they played by the democratic rules we say we want everybody to play by... and now they're gonna pay...
Palestinians are evidently paying for exercising their democratic choice and voting a Hamas government into power. And it is the poorest among them who will pay the price.

naturally, the poor will pay the price... remember, according to the u.s. doctrine of social darwinism, if you're poor, it's because you're lazy, no damn good, and deserve whatever unpleasantness life sends your way...

meanwhile, next door in israel...
