Are you ready to get bored?

Since April 2003 the news services got bored and have stopped giving figures.
Estimates by November 2005: Israel: 1085—Palestina: unknown, approx. 3 to 4 times the Israeli count. Many of those are killed by their fellow Palestinians.
Total for 2006: 660 Palestinians including 141 children (three times more than in 2005); 23 Israelis, down from 50.
But all this is "just media hype", anyway. We all hoped that, finally, after well over fifty years, the fighting had come to an end with the AIDS-caused death
of that so-called charismatic unshaven dish-cloth wrapped leader Yassir Arafat. I lit fireworks when I heard the news and I'm not even Jewish!
Alas, it was not so. In fact, it got worse in 2006. Much worse.
Anyway, in Colombia thousands are killed each year, so as not to interrupt your precious coke line.
What a bore...
"Whenever I get that sad, depressed feeling,
I go out and kill a policeman."
