Title: Rash Israel Lights Arab Spring Powder Keg

The Middle East this week? Think Colorado in July and the movie megaplex massacre - but instead of a lone gunman on the lose in cinema nine, there's a gang shooting it up in all 16 theatres.

New noises from Cinema Gaza pretty well mask an emerging reality in Cinema Jordan - after a year and more of tap-dancing to avoid the Arab Spring's rapier tip, analysts detected blood on the garments of King Abdullah II and his Marie Antoinette queen - Rania.

Like Bashar Al-Assad in Cinema Syria, Abdullah thought he might - and here, please, excuse a seeming contradiction - finesse his way through the irritation of the Arab Spring with a series of crude gestures that have failed to head off a reform storm surge that threatens him.

And, despite the week's headline from the region, it would be a mistake to be distracted from the horror show in Cinema Syria - already shots are coming through the walls, into Cinemas Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan; Cinema Israel, too. It's become a serious complication for Cinema Iran and only a bit less so for Cinema Iraq.The Middle East this week?

Rash Israel Lights Arab Spring Powder Keg

Israel is to blame for a bunch of terrorists firing rockets on Israeli civilians? Really Brian?

That is what happens when you operate an apartheid state/open air ghetto.

It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'...

What's the big deal? Just two groups of Satanic death worshipers (Muslims and Jews) providing their holy sacrament to their messiah Lucifer.

Death and dismemberment, destruction, pain and misery is their way of life as it is for all of Satan's minions.

So, does Gaza control their own air and the seas off their coast now?

Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET

They seem to be able to get rockets and missiles delivered. So yes they have control of what comes in and out of their land. They seem to get a steady supply of UN and Euro dough to rebuild after they fire rockets and missiles from LOAC protected sites as well.

How many Israeli TV stations teach kids to kill Muslims? None. Here is a link for you to view of Hamas TV teaching Muslims, using a Mickey Mouse character, to kill Jews.

Gaza is Israel. The West Bank is Israel. The Muslilms should just leave and to to Egypt, Jordan or somewhere else.

There are people who would blame Israel if the sun came up late in the morning.

Akron would be a great place to relocate them.

Don't be stupid. They aren't Americans. They belong either in one of the pedophile worshiper countries or Antarctica. I propose a small section of Antarctica for the New Palestinian Homeland. They will get to be really cold in preparation for their really hot existence as worms in Hell. That would be the non christian Palestinians that I am referring to when I talk about Hell.
