Focusing on Hamas

Submitted by Gilbert Simons (United States), Nov 15, 2005 at 13:39

Arab power holders control all activities within their turf. Thus Hamas is but an arm of the PLO, and focusing on one of the tentacles plays into the PLO's hands. This is an old trick practiced by Arafat for years, and by Haj Amin al-Husseini long before him.
Of course, blaming "the Palestinians" is even further from the mark, putting the onus on an enslaved population.
