Disorderly disorder

Disorderly disorder

I found the following article fascinating:

"Gaza militants condemn disorder"The main Palestinian militant groups in Gaza have issued a joint statement calling on the government to end lawlessness in Palestinian territory.

These militant groups sound so noble and everything. But then you read the next 2 paragraphs:

The statement condemned the recent abductions of foreigners and attacks on government buildings in the area.

On Wednesday, two Egyptian soldiers were killed after militants bulldozed through Gaza's border fence with Egypt.

If the "militants" really want to stop the disorder wouldn't it seem they could simply refrain from engaging in any disorderly conduct?

The condemnation of lawlessness and terrorism by masked Palestinian gunmen at a press conference in Rafah seems totally bizarre.

One can only imagine a parallel if representatives of violent street gangs in any major Western city took a time out to come together just long enough to attend a press conference to speak out against violent crime before they went back to the very crimes they denounced. That of course just would not happen.

In the violent, immoral, lawless and many would say insane world of the Palestinians, however such a press conference is not so bizarre. Still it is tough for a Westerner to fathom.
