Palestinian tourism minister quits

The Palestinians have tourism? Did someone built a Six Flags over there, and forgot to tell me?

In a statement early on Tuesday, Judeh Murqos said: "I confirm to you that I have resigned from the government due to the violence that has occurred [on Monday] in the Gaza Strip."

Ok, when a Palestinian thinks things have gotten too violent, ya just have to pay attention.

Palestinian factional rivalry erupted into unprecedented violence on Monday as followers of Mahmoud Abbas, the president, set fire to the parliament and cabinet offices in the West Bank while supporters of the Hamas government tried to storm a security compound in Gaza.

And we think we have too much dissent in this country? At least the "cut and run" crowd aren't setting fire to anything..... yet.
