Excerpts from a speech by PLO Executive Committee Secretary Yasser Abd Rabbo, broadcast on Al-Arabiya TV on 1/16 and on Al-Jazeera TV on 1/22:
"Yesterday, we heard Khaled Mashal talking from Damascus about new, additional preconditions for national reconciliation – the only goal of which is to hinder the achievement of reconciliation."
[...]
"Today, Hamas gangs are unleashed like packs of animals on the streets of Gaza against Fatah members. Because the military bases and the prisons have been destroyed, they have turned Gaza schools, Al-Nasser Hospital, the radiology department at Shifa' Hospital, Al-Aqsa University, and other places, including mosques, into centers for the detention, interrogation, and torture of Fatah members and members of other national Palestinian factions."
[...]
"Dozens of people have been shot in the leg, been beaten savagely, and had their bones broken, because they are members of the Fatah movement, which took to the streets of Gaza to confront the occupation, leaving all disagreements [with Hamas] behind, during the battle against the invasion by the Israeli occupation. This is what is happening today in Gaza."
[...]
"This reminds me of the 'glorious exploits' of Chemical Ali in southern Iraq after the 1991 'Mother of All Wars.' When the smoke of battle cleared, he turned his gangs and his fire against the Iraqis in southern Iraq, and the massacre that ensued is known to all. Who is the 'Chemical' today in Gaza, who wants to turn Gaza into the venue of a new massacre?"
[...]
"I heard that Abu Marzouq is sanctioning the killing of Palestinians, in an interview with the Qatari Al-Sharq newspaper the day before yesterday. He said that they have [captured] collaborators, and they have already executed some, while others await their turn. What collaborators are you talking about, Mr. Abu Marzouq? Of course he has expanded the list, saying that anyone who criticizes the policy of Hamas a traitor and a collaborator, and that it is okay to kill him. Is this the promised Islamic rule, or is it a blood-soaked lie about Islam?"
[...]
"Who plunders the trucks bringing aid to the Gaza Strip, and distributes it only among the follows of its party and movement, while the children of Gaza are starving? Who is stealing the land of Gaza, dividing it into lots, and giving them to the cronies of Hamas members of the Shura Council?"

From the above it can be seen that not all Arabs, nor even all Palestinians, are supporters of Hamas. Many Palestinians have more than sufficient reason to fear Hamas, and consequently oppose them in every matter.
That is quite unlike the Bay Area pro-Palestinians, who do not question the virtues of the Harkat al Mukawamma al 'Slamiya (the Movement of Islamic Resistance, that being the name of the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is recognized in many countries as a terrorist movement).
But then, those who do not have to live with Hamas will blithely ignore details that contradict their own idealism.
Those aren't their knees which are capped.
It is comfortable to live in Berkeley.

Happy food posts, mister. What happened to the happy food posts?
And anyhow, not everybody lives in Berkeley. Real people live in SF.
As you know.
Don't fool yourself too much.
WHen FATH ruled, Hamas said the same thing about FATH (and it was true, too).
In the real world my enemy's enemy is not necessarily my friend.
I wouldn't be surprised if his speech was peppered with beautiful statemnts like "Hamas hinders our glorious efforts to eradicate the Jew satan from the face of the earth" and such gems.
BTW do you know how to tell if a Dunhill is original or Orlik? There was also someone else before them who distributed the stuff, I heard that that one was much closer to the original. I found a tin today, but I don't know if I should open it...
Berkeley is, all experts agree, nuts.
Not good nuts. Just nuts.

"Rabbo Accuses Hamas Of New Atrocities Against Fatah Members In Gaza."
Whatever else he may have said that was not translated, it is never the less a damning indictment of Hamas. And what he details is already public knowledge. It has appeared on several news sites. Though not on any of the usual pro-Palestinian sites, of course. Those are for propaganda, not news.
Read the lates post on BLUETRUTH about the lies being told to the morons of Oakland.

International ANSWER is trying to start a race war. And the Berkeley pro-pallies are assisting them.
Of course that means we'll get even more angry raggythumps visiting SF. As if they don't have anywhere else to scream and shout, and like we don't have anything better to do than host their sorry back-ends. I am getting so sick of Berkeley. And the Palestinians. And leftwing activists. And visitors to SF.
All of you: GO HOME AND SHUT UP.
And thanks for visiting, bitches.
Raggythumps? An excellent term for the out of towners that come to SF to protest on behalf of middle-eastern causes!
Beautiful invention, girlie. I shall with utter pleasure utilize the locution.

Yo, Noodles, that was a mean thing to do, tricking me with those links on your most recent post. Nasty little girl!
I mean, what on earth gave you the idea that I had erectile dysfunction?
No such thing! I work perfectly. All parts are fully functional. I insist!

Hamas are a bunch of bleeding protestants is what they are.
Oh yes.
