Egyptian comedian blames Hamas for recent violence

Posted by Brad A. Greenberg

Egypt warned Hamas that sending rockets into Israel would provoke a war. Now Egyptian comedian Adel Imam, no fan of Israel, says that Hamas is getting what it had coming:

“Hamas ignored our warnings and chose to lead an asymmetrical war,” Imam said. “It’s preferable for Hamas to stop [the rocket attacks]. They should have known that Israel wasn’t going to receive the attacks with roses.”

I doubt that any Egyptian, comedian or otherwise is influential upon Hamas. It keeps hope alive to be reminded that enemies of Israel can have their moments of rationality.

A single comedian - person who says humorous things to get laughs - being singled out as the only Arab out of millions who finds fault with Hamas…sorry but that doesn’t give me much hope.

Reality,
Mr. Imam was not “the only Arab out of millions who finds fault with Hamas.” Most notably, PA President Mahmood Abbas faults Hamas, not Israel, for the fighting.  So does the foreign minister of Saudi Arabia.

This video of a Palestinian teenager whose family was killed in the current conflict blames Hamas.  Sadly, videos like this are not being shown on CNN, BBC, or even Fox News.
