WASH. POST SHILLS FOR HAMAS

JEALOUS OF THE NYT'S CODDLING OF TERRORISTS IN YESTERDAY'S PAPER, THE WASHINGTON POST REFUSES TO BE OUTDONE:

Engage Hamas? (BackSpin)

Ahmed Yousef, an advisor to Ismail Haniyeh got op-ed space in the Washington Post to call on the West to recognize and engage the Hamas regime.

No need to fisk this. Yousef doesn't talk about Hamas' charter, the organization's cozying up to Iran, the fact that foreign aid to the PA tripled despite the embargo, or the organization's ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

But the Hamas apologist is on a hot streak; yesterday, Yousef had another commentary published in the NY Times and the International Herald-Tribune. The latter paper published him opposite David Makovsky.
