Hamas, which has suffered tremendously since the fortunes of the Muslim Brotherhood had changed by the Egyptian coup last year, has been ecstatic that Tayyip Erdogan's AKP party won most of the local elections in Turkey this week.
The Islamist party just erected this billboard in Gaza:
It shows Erdogan, Hamas leaders Meshal and Haniyeh, and previous and current Qatari leaders Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad.
The words on the sign say "Jerusalem is waiting for men."
The sign betrays wishful thinking that Turkey and Qatar are in the forefront of trying to "liberate" Jerusalem from Jews along with, of course, Hamas.
It is also an insult to the rest of the Arab world - always overly concerned with machismo - by implying that current leaders of the PA, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and other countries that have marginalized Hamas are not being led by real men.
Hamas has a third message as well with this billboard. It is trying to regain its lost prestige from the microwar in February between Israel and Islamic Jihad and other terror groups, a flare-up that Hamas pointedly avoided participating in, making it look less "manly" than the Iranian-supported Islamic Jihad.
