Palestinian Gunmen Storm Gov't Offices

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Dozens of Palestinian gunmen on Saturday stormed several government offices and briefly took the Interior Ministry to demand jobs, security officials and witnesses said. The armed men fired shots in the air, burned tires and blocked the main road of Deir el-Balah, a town in the central Gaza Strip, during the takeover. Abu Iyad, leader of the gunmen, said the takeover was a part of a protest against the employment policies of President Mahmoud Abbas'
Fatah party.

The Palestinians are poor, and in a bad situation. This is a sign of desperation, no food, no money, violence is their way of life, so that is what they resort to. Its extremely sad and unfortunate, but to say the least, the israelis have their part in this too. These are women and children starving to death, they don't deserve this and insure the future generations of Islamic militants.

Wow....I've made jokes about the region's elections being in the form of armed rebellion, sad to know that it held some truth.

Doing things like that will only make the situation worse. Right now they need outside assistance, aside from Iran and Syria. Whatever those two countries are doing, it doesn't seem to be working. Right now the international community has two options; let them die off in the private hell that they created, or intervene to provide assistance in the form of food, medicine, and security. The world tried to assist Somalia when it got like that, but it didn't end well.
If any countries do come to the Palestinians aid, they will face problems arising from violence being the Palestinian's way of life.

Palestine Politics

The problem with the politics in Palestine is that the politicians there do not have any power. They just stand as figureheads to act like they can do or say anything, but they can only do what Israel tells them they can do. Next thing is the people don't listent to them because they are suffering the most basic of needs. This is what gives groups like Hamas more credibility for the people of Palestine because they are the only hope of change. The only thing though they need to channel their attacks to the military and not other children in Israel.
