As you know, I have never ever been a fan of Hamas. I disagree with them on ideology and on practice and on style. Not only do I disagree with their suicide bombings, and rhetoric, but I have also particularly detested their rhetorical bombast and their military parades. I don't know what or who was behind the explosion today during a Hamas parade, and I know that throwing bombs into crowded streets and population concentrations has been consistent with Zionist actions from the beginning, but what was the parade for? I mean, Palestinians are being hunted down like pigeons by Israeli planes and helicopters, and Hamas is busy launching a military parade? I just don't understand this organization. How dumb can their leaders be?
