File under: Hamas

#1 Hamas, which has conquered Arab public opinion, has also won the status of a legitimate and critical partner in the dialogue in which the legitimacy of the Israel's attack is crumbling after its rejection of the humanitarian cease-fire.

Well Goollly!! It just sounds like it is all so rosey for Hamas. Lucky for them they just got the snot knocked out of them.

I'm sure Erdogan will achieve his "most difficult job" of becoming the leader of the Arab world by finding "a common denominator that will satisfy the rival axes and allow an Arab consensus regarding Hamas and Israel"

Don't worry individual Gazan citizens. Erdogan is coming to your rescue! Though he has "no plan or organized initiative, and he intends at this stage to hear both sides and locate points of agreement" so you can sleep well knowing that Erdogan has (according to this piece of propaganda) assumed command and has his strongly worded statements and lunch menus planned.

#2 Israel should propose that these brave Sunnis send military detachments to occupy Gaza, to insure order and demilitarization, then Israel would not only cease fire, but it would open wide power, water, the flow of non-military goods, etc.

Of course, the Sunnis would be there entirely on a "humanitarian" mission, to insure that the Paleos don't hurt themselves...

#3 That's an old timey negotiating trick from way, way back. Be totally agreeable, but set the terms very carefully.
In this case, the terms sound fine to rational persons, but totally outrageous to Ham-Ass.

#4 There is also no mention of Israel having any say in these "negotiations".

Well, of course not, tipover. The Joooooos don't get any say-so, don'tcha know.

I mean, it's not like they're actual humans or anything....

#9 Spam killing is done by the mods on rotation. Sorry for the delay - I had to bag the last dozen or so and haul them out to the curb for pickup.
