So you know how we've been told for decades that the military part of terrorist organizations is different from the political part is different from the charity part? Well, according to Elder, somebody forgot to tell the Palestinians:

Now riddle us this: Hamas commits mass murder, blowing up a cafe or a bus or a discotheque. Israel responds by raiding a Hamas "charity" building, which may contain terrorist weapons and is definitely providing terrorist funding. How do you think that would get covered? We're willing to bet our laptop that over ninety percent of the world's newspapers run the story with a a headline or lede about some nebulous "Hamas charity". Our laptop - that's how sure we are.
