In this week’s free issue, NewsLaugh.com, The Sanely Funny Weekly Humor Magazine, reports that an admittedly small, upstart group of Palestinians, comparing the quality of their governance with the orderly procedures in Israel, have decided the best thing that can happen to them is to give up on their own government.
As a result, they are asking Israel to keep the members of the Hamas government the Israelis arrested in response to the kidnapping of an Israeli soldier by militants. Even more surprisingly, they are advocating a one-state solution, with the Gaza Strip and West Bank volunteering to become part of Israel.
To let their voices be heard, they demonstrated, waving banners that read, "Palestine, No; Israel, Yes!"; "I Almost Speak Hebrew Already"; and "Let’s Make A Deal."
Israel reacted with caution to the unexpected development, with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert saying, "Let them return our soldier; then maybe we can talk."
