Boil at the other end of the peace process, notable mainly for roof-tossings and rocket barrages that persist despite pullouts, other gestures.  The incomparable Mental Floss of Blair comments fame, acknowledging some partiality, challenges the notion that Hamas, or any other Palo entity, has a claim on Gaza. He placed this yesterday as a comment to last week’s [...]

What Annapolis is about, IMHO, at Pajamas.  It’s a Kumbaya thing, it’s a divide-and-conquer thing. It’s about making new friends and isolating old enemies. It’s a build, which might make it one of the more practical Mideast peace moves since Egypt and Jordan figured out which side of the pita had the humus on it. [...]

More great kids’ TV from Hamas.  This one is about an American Palestinian kid whose eyes get opened on a trip to the old country.  It’s kind of like an episode of Farouk, Achmed and Ali, only a lot longer, a little more didactic. With computer-generated animation, without pratfalls.  Hey, I wonder where I can [...]

Hamas music vid, in Hebrew, features the line, “In black bags, chunks of flesh of Jews.” It’s all meant to be very dispiriting, I suppose. “Hamas, Hamas, the apple of my eye!

Of course.  It has nothing to do with the Palestinian people’s decision to elect a terrorist organization to its government, or the failure of moderate leaders to rid themselves of corruption and exercise true leadership.
