Hamas is in deep doo-doo: I like my headline better than Ynet’s, but read Guy Bechor’s analysis for a nice, cheerful story about Hamas. Cheerful for us, that is. Money quote:
Until recently it appeared that the so-called “Arab Spring” and its Islamic parties would embrace Hamas. We certainly saw lip service, but establishing a Jihad army against Israel? Every Arab state is currently contending with deep domestic problems; this existential trouble dwarfs Hamas’ problems.
Do you see the grin on my face? No? Well, just imagine one. It’s huge. Schadenfreude. Yeah, we got that.
Yeah, I’ll believe it when I see it: Egyptians are telling Ynet that regardless of who wins the election, the peace treaty with Israel will stand. Uh-huh. And Hamas will moderate once it starts having to, you know, deal with trash collection and the like. Oh. Wait.
Way to give the haters ammunition: An Israeli organ-trafficking ring that preyed on poor people in destitute countries like Azerbaijan. Awesome work, guys. Watch the neo-Nazis lap this one up like it’s their cheap beer.
The U stands for Useless: UN observers watched with their usual amount of interference (that is to say: None) as Syrian troops fired on the crowd that came out to welcome the UN observers. Well, you know, they’re not there to protect people. If they were, the Rwandan genocide would never have occurred, and they would not have assisted Hezbollah in kidnapping an Israeli soldier. But hey, they were able to document the event, so it’s all good.
