"Victory for Violence" parade ends prematurely

An Israeli soldier bids farewell to departing Hamas marchers in Gaza.
(Gaza, Israel—UPI) As hundreds of Jewish citizens protested their government-mandated removal from settlements in the Gaza Strip, a group of dedicated Hamas militants attempted to stage a premature Victory for Violence parade today. They were politely informed by Palestinian Security Police that their parade permit is not valid until Wednesday, and they would have to wait until then to make their proclamations of undying enmity and death to Israel and America. When the masked leader of the militants balked at having his parade rained upon, the Palestinian police commander, Abad Mofo, reminded him that hundreds of Israeli army troops were on hand in the settlements.

Employing a clever analogy to American Western movies, Mr. Mofo explained that the Zionists considered themselves pioneers, and Palestinians are considered to be the hostile aborigines. The Israeli troops, Mr. Mofo continued, are the cavalry. As in the Wild West of the United States, the cavalry is there to maintain relative peace, no matter who starts the trouble. Mr. Mofo concluded his explanation by reminding the Hamas leader of the particular enthusiasm displayed by the American cavalry in quelling disturbances caused by hostile aborigines.

The parade quickly dispersed. As the disappointed celebrants departed the area, they were offered parting gestures of farewell from watchful Israeli troops.

I found Abad Mofo's name to be humorous. He obviously realized that the troops that he likened to a cavalry were Morethanbad Mofos. (Will you permit me to get away with this observation?)

As he was 'saluting', Abad Mofo was heard to say, "I have just one thing to say to you..." (that's why he had only one finger in the air).

Around these parts, we call that the Renaissance Salute (referring to the Renassance Center in downtown Detroit--one tall building surrounded by four smaller towers).

I'm baaaaaaack!
