And now it's Jeopardy... Gaza edition

Alex... I'll take "Talking Heads for bloodthirsty terrorist movements for a hundred, please." -- "Alrighty, the answer is... this Hamas bigwig piously intoned the following nonsense, which was then vomited up verbatim by gullible western media..."
"I am becoming completely convinced that there are those who don't want the Palestinian scene to enjoy calm and stability or to create the appropriate atmosphere for starting serious and deep dialogue aimed at reaching a national unity government."

That's correct, the answer is... "Who is Palestinian Prime Minister and Hamas Cheerleader Ismail Haniyeh?"

Israel's mere existence is a daily humiliation to Muslims, who can't understand how, if they have the superior religion, Israel can be so powerful.
