Krauthammer on the Middle East talks

Krauthammer's predictions on what will happen based on history and the science of human nature and the nature of Palestinians. Here's the money line:

Indeed, this week Abbas flatly told al-Quds, the leading Palestinian newspaper, "We won't recognize Israel as a Jewish state." Nice way to get things off on the right foot.

Mahmoud Abbas: "I'm against lifting the Gaza naval blockade"

What does this do to the the global narrative?

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is opposed to lifting the naval blockade of the Gaza Strip because this would bolster Hamas, according to what he told United States President Barack Obama during their meeting at the White House Wednesday. Egypt also supports this position.

Wow, Abbas must be a Zionist or something. I mean, he is more afraid of Hamas than he is of that tyrannical Israeli government? Doesn't he know about the plight of the Palestinian people?

Hamas Terrorist Caught on Candid Camera Using Human Shields in Gaza

There's no sound, obviously, so you have to read the captions within the video for the play-by-play. Here's the text from the sidebar of the youtube.com video.

Captured in this aerial footage, a Hamas terrorist plants an IED and then climbs into a house containing uninvolved civilians. Later the civilians and the Hamas terrorist exit the house waiving a white flag, at which point IDF troops approach and arrest the terrorist.

This is just one of many examples of how Hamas uses uninvolved civilians as human shields. This example is particularly egregious since the terrorist used civilians waving a white flag to try to evade IDF soldiers.
