Quote of the Day

Our problem is that all our leaders are crooks and we the residents  suffer. Hamas steals, Abbas steals, and we are between a rock and a hard place. We cannot overcome them. They are the rulers and they have everything. We the poor residents are disgruntled, hungry. We think you, the Israelis, are merciful, you have mercy on us, you would help us. If it were Bashar Assad he would kill out the entire city and finish the whole thing. We want to live with the Jews.

  -- Sammy Obeid, Gaza resident, talking on Israeli radio (101.5)

I have no idea how common this sentiment it, but it is interesting to hear it expressed. I also wonder if the name he gave is fake, as he might very well be killed for saying this publicly.
