Wooo! We're number one in getting oppressed!
The front page of today's SF Chronicle shows a picture of a bunch of palestinians holding a stretcher and being real excited-like. We've all seen the pictures. You have to wonder what they're so excited about.
Strangely, the picture is not available of the Chronicle website, or if it is, I can't find it. If you look at the paper itself, you can see a guy holding up one finger in the same way an American might rush a college football field with his hand in the air screaming "WE'RE NUMBER ONE!!!" Hopefully, there's a cultural issue I'm missing here, because it'd be pretty sick if some guy decided to say hi to mom while carrying a corpse, so to speak.
In any case, you'd think they'd be a tad more somber about being oppressed and bombed all the bloody time. Instead, they seem to be taking advantage of every opportunity to garner media attention (and by "every opportunity" I mean "every corpse"). I doubt anyone in the picture actually gave a damn about their fellow countryman beyond what his death meant for the PR war. Then again, maybe they're just efficient.
