Victory? What the fuck!

I am back. I am going to get a political on your collective asses today. Given the "hostilities" in the Gaza between Israel and Hamas (Palestinians), after emerging from their rat holes, Hamas is claiming victory.

I do not know about you but if you define victory as surviving while 1000 of your countrymen, most of whom would like to live their lives (that one can be debated and I am not about to go there......yet) are killed because you thought you could send rockets, indiscriminately into towns in Southern Israel (trying to hit civilian targets...well, really just lobbing them into Israel with no regard for what or whom they may hit to be exact) without a response, then enjoy your "victory".

I am just unclear as to what "they" were victorious at? I would say the Israeli's should bomb them back to the stone age....but they are not that far from it. They seem to enjoy living in squalor because for 60 years that is what they have done. I have NEVER heard of being refugees for 60 years. Five years after World War II, all refugees were settled. Why not now? How can you "reward" people for doing little for 60 years to better their lives and move forward?

Perhaps, they should be given a DeLorean and a flux capacitor so they can actually go back in time. Give Doc Brown a call. Then again, on second thought, they would only squander that opportunity and strip the car down for the stainless steel and other metal parts. Of course, they could always go back in time and fuck up the space-time continuum, which would be the most likely outcome after the stripping of the car and technology for little of future use.

You have to hand it to them....never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

Again, still having trouble with the claim of "victory" as I am not sure what was won....more time in greater squalor, time to rebuild the squalor so that they can start the cycle all over again. Plus ca change.

My time is up now. Ciao!
