Hamas and the withdrawal (short)

Published on August 14, 2005 By pseudosoldier In Current Events

A CNN article: Link

"Determined to win the airwaves, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday inaugurated a special Gaza-withdrawal media center, complete with live-feed points for TV crews, a 24-hour text messaging service for news updates, maps, and free hats and T-shirts."

Seriously. Have you seen the official Hamas hats? Is it wrong of me to want a hat? (Probably.)

Good info on Hamas: Link
Gots to love wikipedia. Please note the Arabic bit at the top, which I was going to point out anyway as a linguistic trivia tidbit. Hamas is both an acronym (in Arabic!) and an Arabic word. Clever. I've met several Arabs that don't realize (and stoutly refuse to believe) that it is an acronym...

I'm not a big fan of Hamas. (But the hats are flippin' sweet!)
