So MEMRI and (House of Saud's) Elaph have now found two Palestinians who find Israeli occupation quite pleasurable, and the New York Times find that worthy of an article. ""One journalist quoted by MEMRI, Majed Azzam, wrote in the Hamas-affiliated weekly Al Risala in Gaza that Palestinians “should have the courage to acknowledge the truth” that the only thing that “prevents the chaos and turmoil in Gaza from spreading to the West Bank is the presence of the Israeli occupation.”" Another Palestinian writer, Bassem al-Nabris, a poet from Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip, wrote on the Arabic news Web site Elaph that if there was a referendum in the Gaza Strip on the question of whether people would like the Israeli occupation to return, “half the population would vote ‘yes.’ “But in practice,” Mr. Nabris continued, “I believe that the number of those in favor is at least 70 percent, if not more.”" (And of course, every Arab knows "the Palestinian poet" Bassem Al-Nabris. If you have not heard of Mr. Babris, you don't know anything about the Palestinians). (thanks Yasmine)
