Gaza Troubles
There is trouble in the Middle East between the Arabs and the Israelis. Surprise!
Tired of Hamas/Palestinian missiles being fired at them from the Gaza strip, Israel has now sent in ground troops.
It is of note that other Arab countries are not terribly interested in getting involved in this. In fact, for the most part they aren’t even declaring the ‘illegitimacy’ of the invasion.
Obviously Hamas is being provided weapons by another Arab country, most likely Iran. The Hamas leaders are not smart enough to realize they are just a tool for Iran (or whoever) to take potshots at Israel.
Tool = pawn, and pawns are disposable. Iran doesn’t mind tossing away a few Palestinians if it makes Israel look bad. Everybody knows Israel will strike back when provoked, and sometimes their ham-handed tactics look bad.
TODAYS CONTEST: In 25 words or less, tell us how to solve the Israeli – Palestine conflict. Winners will be decided on creativity & long-range viability. The winning entry (or entries in the case of a tie) will be forwarded to President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton for implementation.

Solution: The Palestinians could move to some open area in Iran, where they would all be treated like first-class citizens!
