On Strike!

Palestinians are now protesting in Gaza and the West Bank after the recent jail attack and seizure of one, Ahmed Saadat, by Israeli forces in Jericho...

...by going ON STRIKE?!

Will somebody explain this to me please? Even trying as hard as I might, I still can't wrap my brain around this most peculiar political strategy - not that I've ever fully understood anything of Middle Eastern policy in the first place mind you. But this just seems so perfectly warped that it is just too juicy to pass up.

Arn't Gaza and the West Bank pretty much prison states as they are in the first place? So what are they going to strike with exactly? I'm not sure the whole concept of "strike" is one hundred per cent crystal clear to your average Palestinian. But then again, these are the same people who, more often than not, settle disputes by strapping bombs to children and sending them to play at the mall. You already know they're not playing with a full deck. Nevermind sending U.N. troops and medical aid - send them disgruntled GM workers! They'll get their political shit together!

What are they going to withhold on this "strike" exactly? They live on a pile of rubble last I checked. Are they going to keep their dust and suicide bombers all to themselves? Because that would be a real tragedy.

"And if that doesn't get the Zionists attention," said Hamas spokesman Mahmoud Zahhar, "We will start kicking each other in the balls!"

Personally, I've had it to the nines with practically the whole Middle East. To me, the answer is about as easy as Tara Reid after a few Long Island Ice Teas: just supply them with as many guns and explosives as they want and then revert all our funding and assistance programs to building a huge blast-proof dome overtop the entire area and then just wait for the dust to settle.
