How the World Saved Hamas 20 Years Ago

"The expulsion of top Hamas leaders from Israel would have made it difficult for the terrorist group to continue its operations in Gaza and the West Bank. It would have dampened their strategic use of terrorism and made it easier to implement a peace plan. Only a madman would have objected to it.
Or so one might think."

Satire: 2016: Palestinian Diary

"Sometimes—even most of the time—being a leader means having to pretend. I had many differences with Raouf, but when he became "Arafat" he showed me and others just how far you could get by talking out of both sides one's mouth. He was invited to the UN, and he got a Nobel Peace Prize for tricking the Zionists into thinking he actually wanted to make friends with them. He was a genius, that Raouf. And he was never even coached and trained the way the Russian KGB taught me. He was a natural dissimulator. Perhaps that is the reason he took the nickname "Abu 'Amaar," recalling 'Amaar, the first Muslim to practice taqiyya, the art of Islamic deception."

Shame on Anyone Who Ever Thought Mohammad Morsi Was a Moderate

"Washington ought to have known by now that "democratic dialogue" is virtually impossible with the Muslim Brotherhood, which is now mobilizing throughout Egypt to defend Morsi's edict. The reason is that it is not a "democratic party" at all. Rather, it is a cultish organization that was never likely to moderate once it had grasped power."

Egypt's top Islamist expects assassination of liberal figures

"A senior member of Egypt's former militant Islamist group al-Gamaa al-Islamiya has warned that liberal politicians and intellectuals who oppose President Mohammed Mursi's latest constitutional declaration could face a campaign of targeted assassinations starting from December."

BBC Watch: Examining the BBC's portrayal of Operation 'Pillar of Cloud' as Israeli electioneering

"In other words, the BBC's 'it's all because of the Israeli elections' theme was clearly based on its promoters' personal perceptions of specific Israeli politicians rather than on fact-based analysis and an understanding of the Israeli political scene."

BBC Radio 4 dances with the 'apartheid' trope

"Instead – as we have seen happen on various BBC outlets with increasing frequency of late – it provided a platform for an anti-Israel activist, supporting what is ultimately a racist cause, to spout factually incorrect propaganda posing as an 'opinion' – unchallenged. "
