Hamas Sees Egypt's Morsi Defying Israel, Ending Blockade
2012-07-14
The head of the Islamist terror group Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, in the Gazoo Strip said on Friday he was confident Egypt's new president would shield the Paleostinian enclave from Israeli attacks and fully open its borders to end a trade blockade.
 
Mohamed Morsi, who won power in last month's presidential election in Egypt, is a member of the Moslem Brüderbund and ideologically close to Hamas.

The Gazook Islamists long complained that his predecessor Hosni Mubarak
...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011...
, ousted from power last year in a popular revolt, sided not just with Israel, but also with their political rival - Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
's Fatah movement.
 
So far, Hamas has seen little sign of a policy shift since Morsi took office and diplomats said the Egyptian leader had so many domestic problems that he could ill-afford to dedicate much time to re-tooling Cairo's relations with the Paleostinians.
 
However,
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened...
Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...
, the head of Hamas's Gazoo government, told worshippers in a mosque that change was coming.
 
"We are confident that Egypt, the revolution led by Morsi, will never provide cover for any new aggression or war on Gazoo," he said. "We are confident that Egypt, the revolution led by Morsi, will not take any part in blocking Gazoo," he added.
 
Israel launched a military offensive against Gazoo in late 2008 in an effort to end repeated rocket attacks from Hamas, which refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist. Some 1,400 Paleostinians and 13 Israelis died in the three-week war.
