Can I Be Homeless?

Gee, here's a deal that needs to be offered to me: Arabs in Rafiach were being paid $1000 a month for the right to be made "homeless" by the IDF and to get a new house, in a better neighborhood, paid for by the Palestinian Authority. All they have to do is to allow a few illegal arms to be smuggled through tunnels in their homes. The PA, being the personal little fiefdom of that renowned Nobel winning terrorist Arafat, was, of course, allowing these weapons to only be used in self-defense - like when a Hamas or Hezbollah "charity worker" feels threatened by an infant Israeli (They have good reason to fear Israeli babies, as all baby buggies are now little mobile weapons caches</sarcasm>.).

I'm sorry, but I really have trouble feeling bad for people whose greatest goal in life seems to be getting their house razed for propaganda purposes, knowing that they will end up in a house that is probably nicer than mine. I have trouble feeling sorry for these poor, homeless arms smugglers who were netting an extra grand a month in a place where that's a king's ransom. I have problems with the "woe is me" claims, when they're really issues of their own making.

$1000 a month to claim professional victimhood status. What a deal.
