The Pious Jew-Haters vs. the Corrupt Jew Haters
That’s the choice between Palestinian factions.
What does it say about the so-called civilized world that we side with the corrupt Jew-haters? We think they’re better somehow? They are just as culpable in the decades-long war against Israel; they just lie about it (and everything else, really).
On January 5, representatives of Hamas and Fatah rallied on the steps of the Minnesota state capitol in St. Paul. Their purpose was to condemn Israel, and an Israeli flag was burned. Mostly, though, the rally turned into a confrontation between the terrorist organization, Hamas, and the formerly terrorist organization–to give it the benefit of the doubt–Fatah. Congressman Keith Ellison attended, apparently at the invitation of the Fatah faction, but was shouted down by Hamas supporters who don’t consider him radical enough. This video, which was made by Minnesotans Against Terrorism, really has to be seen to be believed.
Keith Ellison, Al Franken—Minnesota has become the Mississippi of our time, an absolute national embarrassment.
Oh, and let me amend my earlier comment about supporting the corrupt Jew-haters.
One pious man supports others:
Hamas should be part of the Middle East peace process, Tony Blair, envoy to the region of the international “quartet” of powers, said in comments published on Friday.
“I do think it is important that we find a way of bringing Hamas into this process, but it can only be done if Hamas are prepared to do it on the right terms,” Blair said in an interview with the Times newspaper, published on its website.
“If you do this in the wrong way it can destabilize the very people in Palestine who have been working all through for the moderate cause.”
Does that mean anything? I can’t figure it out.
Neither can Hamass:
In Gaza, Hamas official Mushir al-Masri said Blair’s comments were proof that the West was acknowledging that Hamas could not be dismissed, although he added that the envoy’s demands were unacceptable to the Islamist group.
“Blair’s statement … repeated the same obstacles set by the West: to reject the recognition of Palestinian democracy, to impose the siege, to provide cover for the Zionist enemy’s crimes against our people and to refuse to deal with the legitimate government and parliament,” Masri said.
Tony Blair is a very wise man, a very religious man. They are very, very dangerous—the worst kind.

Not really seeing Tony Blair’s wisdom. His country turned into a third-world hellhole with better sanitary facilities under his government, and apparently, when it comes to Hamas, he’s completely out of touch with reality. Hamas, as we all know, will never agree that Israel can exist so what Blair said was fatuous and stupid.

So Blair and Obama have “reached out to the unclenched fists” of the jihadists.
Oddly enough, both Iran and Hamas now feel empowered to make statements that reinforce how incapable they are of rational discourse.
Nice work you guys who haven’t learned anything from the tens of millions who died in the 20th Century because of the Neville Chamberlains of the world.
