Arab editor blames Hamas for Gaza crisis:

A prominent Arab editor on Monday blamed Hamas for the ongoing crisis in the Gaza Strip, saying the Islamist movement had acted “stupidly” by firing rockets at Israel.

“Hamas committed a stupid act when it gave the Israelis an excuse to launch attacks in retaliation for a few antique rockets,” Rashed wrote in the London-based daily Asharq Al- Awsat.

“Prior to that, Hamas committed a big crime against the Palestinian people by overthrowing the Palestinian Authority [in the Gaza Strip]. The Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have suffered a lot because of Hamas’s actions. Hamas is bringing Israel back into the Gaza Strip after it was liberated by the Palestinian groups.”

Das “after it was liberated by the Palestinian groups” ist eine Lüge vorm Herrn (bzw. Allah), ebenso stößt einem “an excuse” auf; aber immerhin wird sogar in Saudi-Arabien erkannt, wer die Palästinenser im Gazastreifen in die Scheiße geritten hat.
