“After excursions to Egypt across a border breached by Hamas militants, some Palestinians pepper their local Arabic dialect with Egyptian expressions while others say they are shocked by the poverty there.”

It was also in the Washington Post but no longer appears at their Website.

All groups and people sitting on their collective backsides, issuing ideological proclamations, risking nothing, personally. Self-righteous cowards, essentially, probably thinking their own mealy mouthed protests and vapid writings give them some kind of humanitarian creds.

What all those people in those organizations need is some neighbors to the west and north continuously lobbing rockets and missiles into their backyards, intent on wiping them from the face of the Earth.

Or some people blowing themselves up in their shopping malls, university cafeterias, restaurants, day care centers and seminaries, taking out their friends and co-workers on a first come, first served basis. Indiscriminately slaughtering them.

Neighbors whose hatred is so white hot, who are so fanatical and driven, that even if and when their own wives and children are inadvertently killed in retaliatory attacks, it is seen as another feather in their caps for sympathy in the international press corps and among “human rights” group(ies).

Neighbors who are most intensely affronted not when their own children are killed but when one of their own putative “leaders” (Sheikh Yassin, Imad Mugniyah) is successfully exterminated.

It has been that way for Israel, on and off, for the duration, 60 years.

Somebody at Amnesty International should read the Hamas Charter for a little reality check.

So called rights groups and the international press are culpable in giving Hamas and Hezbollah “sympathetic” coverage that helps keep the radical agenda alive.

I fisked this report in a recent posting.
