File under: Hamas

#1 "From 11.30 to 3.30 in the morning, they came in every 15 minutes and beat me with sticks, fists, kicks, and a black leather crop."

Lucky guy. For the black leather crop I always have to pay extra.

Hamas founder Mahmoud Zahar is untroubled by the rumblings of dissent: "Life is much better in Gaza than before," he said

At least it is for him, now that he's in power.

"I don't deny there are some violations but this is not a policy. It's personal excesses sometimes they resort to violence when they shouldn't, but it is not a policy."

Just like genocide isn't your policy? Feh! Without violence Hamas would be nothing.

#4 Recovering from chaos is never pretty. To their credit, Hamas is trying to control their domain, even if it is authoritarian and brutal control.

Without someone, anyone in control, nothing good can happen, as the Paleos have demonstrated for years.

On the plus side, with authority comes responsibility. Once they have control, Hamas can no longer play dumb and pretend that someone else is directing violence against Israel. This means that Israel can retaliate directly against those who ordered attacks.

And in turn, this means that when Israel retaliates, there is nobody for the Gazans to blame but Hamas.

#6 Recovering from chaos is never pretty.

Especially when one was the one that caused the chaos to begin with.

#7 Especially when one was the one that caused the chaos to begin with.

Self-blame being an utterly alien concept to Muslims and what such.

For about three days or until they get distracted - whatever comes first.
