Title: The term "oh snap" is thrown around a lot these days...

In this case however, I think it's fair to use it.

In other words, the Palestinian territories look like they're about to see a major power shift being cemented one way or the other.

Chaos.
Of course, stabilisation will follow, but whther that is a good or a bad thing is unknown.

Surprisingly enough, nuclear... I now understand the situation considerably better!

You could all learn from his example. Making up words to appease the lazy will get you everywhere in life.

So is this what we've been reduced to? I remember a day when this sort of thread would've prompted the most incendiary kind of debate amongst HLP denizens. Today, we get spam.

I truly give up.

What did you expect? We've lost most of our good debaters, and we don't seem to have as many love-to-hate posters around here as we used to. The climate just ain't good for lively, flame-ridden debates at the moment.

I think the intention was for you to start a heated debate about it, thus serving the purpose of the thread ;)

So Israel denying/blockading humanitarian relief?  For some strange reason, I am in no way surprised.

By the way, am I the only one who instantly thought of the squabbles between the Judean People's Front and the People's Front of Judea?

And am I the only one who instantly thought of cake? All news from this area are either about them killing eachother, or about developments that will make them kill each other.
