Richard Posner’s take jibes with mine (but is much more informed).
Christopher Hitchens’ take does not jibe with mine (but is much more informed).
Meanwhile, the best thing about this Washington Post opinion piece by Mousa Abu Marzook is the author’s byline:
The writer is deputy political bureau chief of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas). He has a U.S. doctorate in engineering and was indicted in the United States in 2004 as a co-conspirator on racketeering and money-laundering charges in connection with activities on behalf of Hamas dating to the early 1990s, before the organization was placed on the list of terrorist groups. He was deported to Jordan in 1997.
My aforementioned take is over here.
