Musa Abu Marzuq on Syrian TV: I was taking a look at Syrian TV the other day. Syrian TV is very schizophrenic these days. It shifts from LBC-TV-style dance and music, to a very tedious political discussion. I saw Musa Abu Marzuq, deputy chairperson of Hamas' politburo, the other day. How incredible was his analysis of world developments. He basically was taking note of a non-existent difference between EU and US as far as the policy toward Hamas is concerned. He kept elaborating on this ostensible European position, and was banking on a "positive development" in EU's foreign policy apart from the US. He was analyzing a European stance that does not exist, except in his imagination.
