Anyway, I don't know whether you've ever heard the <a href="http://www.aiharpe.org/Textes/Discaire/Compact/Cd011.html ">3rd cd on this list </a>but I strongly recommend it although I couldn't find it for sale on Amazon or other large US retailers.

And kudos on the Lily Laskine reference-- you're right, a great artist. Well, these guys may be doctors and engineers and plumbers, but they can be simple-minded spiritually and politically. Simple-minded doesn't mean stupid: There's a perfectly good case to be made that Hamas's methods have worked quite well so far. I’m a big fan of your blogsmanship, btw, Middle!

Would you rather all the posts about these people be serious and morbid? Did you want me to talk about how fucked up it is to justify sending people, sometimes kids, off to massacre civilians? Did you want me to call this man a degenarate murderer and to point out how disgusting it is that he even had the chance to have a single meeting at "Foreign Minister" of the Palestinian people? I could, but how often can we repeat ourselves? It's telling that in a life as serious as this man's, wherein he is a faithful and devout Muslim, a proud Palestinian, a terrorist who advocates wholesale murder of Jews preferably in public places, a terrorist who has seen his movement commit atrocities, this guy actually cares enough about his looks to have a combover. Pointing out that he has a wart so prominent one cannot look away seems to me an apt analogy for what Hamas is to the Palestinians. Except for the fact that the Hamas wart just took over their government. And for the record, I see nothing wrong with calling Sharon a fat man or even making fun of his appetite. Maybe if some more people had done so to his face, he'd still be with us. Arafat was an ugly mofo. Bush can't even read his teleprompter coherently. Netanyahu struts with the cockniness of a male peacock. Who else would you like to add to the list? Of course I’m being silly. Would you rather all the posts about these people be serious and morbid?

Vilifying someone based on the way they look seems a little silly to me, am I the only one who feels this way?

Ouch! Anyway, I don't think these guys are simple-minded at all. As ck points out, this man is a doctor. If you look at Hamas's roster, it is littered with Ph.D.s and other advanced degrees. But I do agree about the religious fanaticism part. Ck, I want to feel sympathy for al-Zahar, but my sympathy lies with his son who is as much a victim of this man's violence and teachings as all of the Israelis who have been harmed over the years by his movement. He is a key founding member of Hamas and is therefore responsible not only for the violence they have perpetrated, but also for the Palestinian society's evolution into a culture that accepts suicide bombings as a weapon. You may "understand his views" regarding Israel after what the IDF has done to his family in trying to target him, but those views were there decades and hundreds of innocent Israel lives and thousands of innocent Israel maimed (and one can easily include the Palestinian victims in this total) prior to that IDF attack.

Good for the occasional laughter in the dark, but that's about it. I miss Fatah. I miss hypocrisy. And venality, plausible deniability, Professor Said-- I'll take it all over lockstep fanaticism and simple-mindedness anytime.
