Hamas: Jewish Lobby at Heart Economic Crisis
Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas has yet again succeeded in making an anti-Semitic fool of itself: on Tuesday, it blamed the “Jewish lobby” for the current economic crisis in the United States, and generally in the world.
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhum said in a statement that the crisis was due to “bad administrative and financial management and a bad banking system put into place and controlled by the Jewish lobby.”
He said that despite pumping hundreds of billions of dollars into a rescue package, U.S. President George W. Bush had remained silent about “the Jewish lobby that put the U.S. banking and financial sector into place.”
Barhum added that the lobby “controls the U.S. elections and defines the foreign policy of any new administration in a manner that allows it to retain control of the American government and economy.”
The Anti-Defamation League responded angrily: “The age-old canards about Jews and money are always just beneath the surface,” said Abraham Foxman.”
Although the ADL is right to be outraged, it should also use this to make fun of Hamas. It should use this to make clear that Hamas is not only extreme, but simply too ridiculous to take serious, in any possible way. These statements of the spokesman of Hamas should be used to make clear that trying to reach out to Hamas is futile, ludicrous even.
