Hamas mourns Helen Thomas
Not long after the passing of veteran American journalist Helen Thomas yesterday, aged 92, Hamas' very own "military wing", the Izzedeene al-Qassam Brigades, posted on its website a heartfelt eulogy.
The post - highlighted by the Elder of Zion blog - was entitled: "Rest in Peace Helen Thomas. We respect you for taking a stand."I wonder if anyone told Hamas that Thomas was honored by the PLO.
...
But the "stand" referred to by Hamas was, perhaps unsurprisingly, nothing to do with women's emancipation. Instead, the group - which calls for the annihilation of the Jewish people in its charter - praised Thomas for a rather ugly tirade against an American rabbi, filmed in 2012.
