Remember the old Polish/Irish jokes from the mid- to late-70s? How many Pollocks does it take to screw in a light bulb?... One to hold the bulb and two to turn the ladder!
The recent election in the Palestinian Authority made me think of this one: How many Palestinians in the Palestinian Authority does it take to end the peace process?... 60% of them!
No, there will be no uproarious laughter at either joke. They are both pathetic, aren't they? Call me psychic but it was bound to happen sooner rather than later that they would cut their own throats and end the peace process. I suppose that's the thanks that Sharon and his followers get for being human beings with an interest in living peaceably with the Palestinians.
For whatever reason, the Palestinians have chosen to democratically cut off their only prospects for peace. It's sad. Do you think that those who elected Hamas to power stopped to think about the fact that Israel and the world basically control their access to civilization (power, employment, imports)? I imagine they did not. The only good news for the rest of civilization is that the Israelis built their wall just in time.
Folks, this is about to get ugly. When the Israelis plow the Palestinian Authority under as they will probably be gearing up to do, let's get out of the way this time, shall we?
