i admit..i was waiting for this....
"In Neveh Dekalim, the Israeli army stood in front of the settlers for days on end and did not harm them, while you, our national police force, throws tear gas at us within five minutes."

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/624572.html

the palestenains are now "waking up to the realities of a society and all the complexities that is involved in running one...especially one that has a violent side to it, be it internal or external....the rest of the world probably wont notice, but the palestenians will....they are now realizing that though any occupation is not a good thing, but that the IDF was hardly a the barbaric force that was portrayed in the press...and in fact given the situation was quite humane.....

but then, they just live there

1. Insightful article, pelsar
Maybe the Palestinian leaders should let go of some of the billions they have stashed in banks around the world and finally give some of it to their people. New housing, new schools, etc., would do a lot to quell the lawlessness going on. No successful society functions on lawlessness and chaos. Celebration shouldn't be degenerating into lawlessness like it has been.
