We don't have the energy to fisk the article line by line, but you know who did? Meryl. Natch.

Original:
The Associated Press has published yet another article about how maybe just possibly Hamas is moderating:

We have neither the time nor the energy to fisk this line by line, so here's a speech from last year by Hamas head Khaled Mashal. The article claims that everyone in Hamas has changed their mind - that no one is calling for the elimination of Israel, so Hamas should be embraced by the international community. So if you think Mashal can ever see his way to accepting Israel, you're free to agree. You're also a blistering idiot:

He dedicates his life to personally humiliating and degrading Jews as Muslims flood Israel and commit massacres. He intends to do this by sowing propaganda domestically and internationally in order to confuse Israelis and undermine Israel's leadership. Good to see that the AP is paying attention.

Then again. Maybe the AP is right to pass on blatantly propagandist quotes. After all, Arafat started off as an unrepentant terrorist, and he ended up a peacemaker, right... Terrorist sympathizing useful idiots.
