The Palestinians are the most comprehensively wrecked people on the face of the earth: After 60 years as U.N. "refugees," they're now so depraved they're electing candidates on the basis of child sacrifice.

The European Union's bankrolled the Palestinian Authority since its creation and Yasser and his buddies salted most of the dough away in their Swiss bank accounts and used the loose change to fund the intifada. After 10 years you can't blame the Palestinians for figuring it's time to give another group of people a chance to siphon off all that EU booty.

Maybe Hellary should go kiss Mrs. Arafat again.

Excellent article.

She's famous for a Hamas recruitment video in which she shows her 17-year-old son how to kill Israelis and then tells him not to come back.

Absolutely chilling. And this is the Palestinian "Mother of the Year"? It's as if Palestinians view sons (and daughters, now) merely as cannon fodder against Israel. You wonder what sort of hateful ideology has been so successful in overthrowing a mother's innate love for her children.

Only a few months ago, Steyn was predicting that electiosn in the Middle East meant that "liberty" was just around the corner in articles like "One vote, one gloat." It doesnt' sound like things are going according to plans, does it?

Here is a sample of the "old" Mark Steyn:

"Now the torrents of Arabia cascade on, from Baghdad to Beirut, Cairo, Riyadh and beyond. Those of us who argued three years ago that Iraq was the place to start the dominoes falling and that the Middle East was ripe for liberty, for democracy, for one man, one gloat - whoops, sorry, vote. Anyway, those of us who told you so way back when long ago gave up trying to figure out why the media, the Dems, the Europeans and Canadians were so wedded to "stability" uber alles. But we had a feeling that their enthusiasm was unlikely to be shared by the actual subjects of Assad and co. And we were right: it turns out America's Zionists know the Arab people better than Europe's Arabists do - better than all those ex-ambassadors to the Middle East now shilling for Saudi-funded think-tanks who pop up on TV discussions to recycle Arab League talking points."
