"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Not your usual SignOnSanDiego.com >Paletinian protest. Following an Israeli counter-terrorist operation in Beit Hanoun residents came out angry....at the terrorists.

In a rare protest, about 600 Beit Hanoun residents blocked a main thoroughfare with trash cans, rocks and burning tires Tuesday, after the Israeli withdrawal, to show their anger at the militants and Palestinian Authority officials.

"They (the militants) claim they are heroes," said Mohammed Zaaneen, 30, a farmer, as he carried rocks into the street. "They brought us only destruction and made us homeless. They used our farms, our houses and our children ... to hide."
