Hamas: Selling gas to Israel is “theft”
You have to hand it to Hamas: At least they’re consistent. Murdering terrorist asshats, but consistent murdering terrorist asshats.
The militant Hamas movement has launched a stinging attack on BG Group and vowed to block a potential £2 billion deal being brokered by the company to supply Palestinian gas to Israel.
The Islamist group told The Times that any agreement would be equivalent to a modern-day “Balfour Declaration” – the British Government statement that formally approved the creation of an Israeli homeland in 1917.
Ziad Thatha, the Hamas economic minister in the Palestinian Government, said: “BG Group is an embarrassment to the Palestinian people.
“When a company sells Palestinian gas to the Zionist occupation, it is similar to acts of theft the Israelis are practising against our land every day.”
Sorry, but the post simply writes itself.

It won’t be long before they have a complete and total meltdown that exceeds the one currently taking place.

All this time, we’ve been thinking we haven’t been able to negotiate with them because they are evil.
NOW we find out it’s because they are terminally stupid.
