I've Been Thinking:

In my line of work you tend to find humor in the strangest places.

There is now a mini civil war in Gaza, Arab killing Arab.
Over the past week several dozen Palestinians have been killed - the children and extended family members of leading Palestinian families have been targeted, bystanders have been killed. And many Palestinians have been injured in shootouts. Obviously, there is nothing humorous about that.

Where are the wounded treated?
Some are treated in Gaza hospitals.
Others have chosen to be treated in Israeli hospital.
Why? Because they are afraid of being assassinated even in the hospital.

Imagine.
Palestinians feel safer in Israel among Jews than in Gaza among Arabs.
And some of the wounded might very well be the people responsible for shooting Kassam rockets into Israel.

Laugh. The alternative is to cry.
