I am in Seattle at the moment and this morning’s Post-Intelligencer carries a story on Israel “tightening the screws” on Hamas. The story is mostly about Israeli plans and how they will adversely affect Palestinian economic activity and life in general. If you look carefully there is a sentence or two indicating why Israel is not especially happy with Hamas.

To extend paternalism to one’s murderers is an act of stupidity. Of course I have no inkling of what sort of pressures and threats have been levied against Israel by the ‘big boys’ in the world.
