WaPo Sinks to New Lows: Terrorist Editorial
Hamas is recognized as a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department. Nevertheless, the Washington Post feels it appropriate to let a convicted Hamas terrorist editorialize in their pages. Isn't there something in the USA Patriot Act against giving material support to terrorists? Isn't giving them free advertising material support?

Mousa Abu Marzook in the Washington Post:
A new era in the struggle for Palestinian liberation is upon us. Through historic fair and free elections, the Palestinian people have spoken.Yes, they have, and what they have said is 'we hate J-O-Os'.
Accordingly, America's long-standing tradition of supporting the oppressed's rights to self-determination should not waver.No it should not. We should support the tiny liberal democracy of Israel which is surrounded and oppressed by a billion Muslims eager to drive them into the sea.
The United States, the European Union and the rest of the world should welcome the unfolding of the democratic process, and the commitment to aid should not falter. Last week's victory of the Change and Reform Party in the Palestinian legislative elections signals a new hope for an occupied people.New hope? Oh, yes, "We really hope that the final solution will finally be implemented correctly."But here is the choicest part
Our society has always celebrated pluralism in keeping with the unique history and traditions of the Holy Land. In recognizing Judeo-Christian traditions, Muslims nobly vie for and have the greatest incentive and stake in preserving the Holy Land for all three Abrahamic faiths.Right. Is this the same Hamas which has vowed to drive the Jews into the sea? Is this the same Hamas that makes it impossible for Jews to live in the West Bank or Gaza, both of which have become Jew-free zones? Is this the same Hamas that has vowed to implement Iranian style sharia law? Is this the same Hamas that has been terrorizing Arab Christians for decades?
Whether or not Hamas gets rid of corruption in the Palestinian Authority is a secondary concern. Populist movements are often shouldered under the auspices of 'reform'. A 'transparent' PA which supports terrorism is no prize to the civilized society.
Give me a corrupt PA that doesn't support terrorism over a clean PA that does, any day.

Given what passes for journalism these days, this fits in rather nicely. I especially like the list of his credentials / disclaimer at the end, which I guess was an attempt to establish credibility:
"The writer is deputy political bureau chief of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas). He has a U.S. doctorate in engineering and was indicted in the United States in 2004 as a co-conspirator on racketeering and money-laundering charges in connection with activities on behalf of Hamas dating to the early 1990s, before the organization was placed on the list of terrorist groups. He was deported to Jordan in 1997."
This part is also quite charming:
"As the occupation solidified its grip under the auspices of "peace agreements," quality of life deteriorated for Palestinians in the occupied territories."
Yup, Israel just waltzed in there for no reason. The shootings, suicide bombings, kidnappings and rocket attacks had absolutely nothing to do with it. Much like Israel just waltzed into the West Bank, Gaza and the Golan Heights for no reason.
And Rusty, these guys do support pluralism. They set aside two, count 'em TWO seats out of 132 for Christians....and I believe somewhat less than that for Jews.

Heh. The anti-liberty coalition, i.e. muslims, fascists, leftists, dhimmicrats, liberals, socialists, communists, drug smugglers, robber barons and what have you, are united in full attack mode against America, civilization, and humanity, and by doing so, they're exposing themselves for what they truly are. It used to be that people like myself were viewed as paranoid extremists, voices crying in the wilderness, as it were, but time and events have borne me out, and now even the most blind and timid have to see the truth, and only our enemies are left standing against us. Heh.

Makes me want to vomit. The Left will spread their legs to Satan himself just to stick it to Israel.

Yep, Carlos, that's about as good as I've heard it put.

Today's Guardian features a comment by Khalid Mish'al, head of the political bureau of Hamas: We will not sell our people or principles for foreign aid. The newspaper is already somewhat familiar with Islamists.

The Post also published the Unabomber manifesto. Obviously they must be a bunch of terrorist lovers masquerading as a newspaper!
