Hamas and Fatah- the courageous double-act

http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=25552_British_Lord-_To_Hell_with_America&only

Listening to this idiot, one phrase struck me-

"They [Ismael Haniyeh and Mahmood Abbas] have no gains to show from the courageous attempt to reach a compromise which is implicit in the unity government. Nothing to show from it AT ALL. The economic boycott goes on..."

What is it with moonbats and courage? Why is it only lefty filmmakers, terrorist politicians and anti-racism campaigners are courageous? The unity government in Palestine is in most respects like the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. It is a temporary marriage of convenience while both sides tap as many arms suppliers as they can, and train up as many bozos/cannon-fodder as they can. Where exactly does the courage come in?

As Mark Steyn likes to point out, mixing a quart of ice cream and a quart of dog shit doesn't result in something you'd want for dessert. A combined government of Hamas and Fatah isn't any more palatable because its got Fatah in it. I guess what Lord Phillips really means is, why can't we just switch sides and support the Arab terrorists. Tell you what, Lord Phillips- you go live in Gaza, and we'll stick with democratic, diverse, tolerant Israel. Enjoy!
