If you ever want a non-Reuters opinion of what’s going on in the Middle East I highly suggest visiting AbbaGav, an Israeli dad’s commentary.
Here he points out that peace may finally come to exist in Palestine:
Many Palestinians are scared and I can see why:
A senior Hamas official has said that the if his movement forms the next Palestinian government, it will make sharia, or Islamic law, a source of law in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
Sheikh Mohammed Abu Tir, no. 2 on the Hamas list, told Canada’s Globe and Mail that the government will modify the existing Palestinian education system to and institute a more Islamic curriculum, and will separate boys and girls.
Actually, as an Israeli, I should be looking forward to this “more Islamic curriculum” since Islam is the religion of peace. It will be nice when they staunch the flow of suicide bombers and death-to-the-Jew jihadis being churned out from the un-Islamic education system currently in place.
Just kidding.
It’s refreshing to see a person with a sense of humor, especially one who lives a few miles away from thousands of people that want him dead.
Hamas, Palestinian, sharia, Islam, Gaza, jihad

I live a few miles away from WHAT?!! Oh my God! Anybody know how to delete a blog and clear any trace of it from Google’s caches?
Just kidding. Sorry, I can’t help it.
Thanks for the kind words.

I couldn’t help but think of Tom Cruise impersonating Jack Nicholson in “A Few Good Men.” That’s good stuff right there.

He has a good point. I also look forward to the day that the US stops trying to rein in Israel after every atrocity and doesn\’t interfere when they exact retribution.
