Palestinians Prefer Guns To Butter

Just a day after a cesspool collapsed killing at least six people and flooded a village with polluted waters that will likely cause disease and misery for a good time to come, the Palestinians once again show that they are more interested in guns than butter.

The Palestinian terrorists launched eight kassams into Israel. Israel responded by firing back at one of the groups firing the rockets, wounding three. The three belong to the terrorist group Islamic Jihad.

Oh, and if you think that the unity government has ended the violence between Hamas and Fatah, you couldn't be more hopelessly wrong. Five were injured in the latest clash.

Unidentified gunmen shot at a Hamas leader and his family during a car chase through Gaza City on Wednesday, injuring five people, including bystanders and a child, Hamas and hospital officials said.

A sports utility vehicle filled with gunmen chased the car carrying Abu Salah Shinbari, a Hamas leader from the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun, and his wife and two young children, witnesses said. The gunmen jammed Shinbari's sedan against a parked car and then riddled it with at least 10 bullets, they said.

In a separate incident, a girl belong to Hamas was shot near a tent set up by journalists protesting the kidnapping of a colleague, BBC's Alan Johnston in Gaza. That incident was initially reported as a thwarted kidnapping.

Anarchy continues to dominate Gaza. Infrastructure failures are common. Yet, the Palestinian terrorists running the PA continue to put all their effort into obtaining weapons.

This Cox and Forkum cartoon speaks volumes over the way the Palestinian terrorists prioritize:



UPDATE:
Apparently, the Palestinians like using Israeli pipes as parts for their rockets fired into Israel for the purpose of killing and injuring Israelis. Those pipes were originally meant for Palestinian sewage projects. HT: Best of the Web.
