If you criticize the PA-Hamas deal or suggest that Israel isn’t the main stumbling block to an outbreak of sweetness and light across the Middle East, you may be harming the peace process..

By the way, I checked J Street’s website (I do the dirty work so you don’t have to) and there is to date no statement on this form of unity. There is a call for the US to release aid to the Palestinians so they can continue to put on their version of Sesame Street. If J Street has ever called for even the least of little limitations on aid to the Palis, no matter what they do or say, I have missed it.

Incidentally, this particular children’s tv show pushes “Resistance Jihad” and had one of its beloved characters, a Mickey Mouse clone, killed by an Israeli interrogator and the other characters vow to grow up and avenge this by bombings and such.
