Primacy and recentcy keeps the knowledge of who Hamas is fresh to the locals.

THIS is why Obama wants to de-legitimize this Egyptian government, withhold aid, and return Morsi to power. GET THAT? Hamas has an ally in the White Hut.

I’m sure there is a country willing to take them in. Perhaps there is one whose leaders deliberately ignored a massacre taking place against their citizens in Libya.

Somebody needs to try that on one of my departed brother-in-law’s martial arts (shima-ryu ninjutsu) students. See how much fun this “game” is with a broken neck or a gouged eye.

Fly ‘em to Antarctica in April. Leave them there, and let the news leak out slowly in June.
