Hamas leader "Abu Masab" admits that Hamas' suicide bombing campaign was not inspired by despair, poverty or the occupation. It was inspired by peace activists.
..."But the cracks in your resistance encouraged us greatly and proved that this instrument (suicide bombings - IJ) was very effective. Ariel Sharon's disengagement plan from Gaza is a great acheivment that is a result of our actions. One of the best pieces of evidence for us of the fracture in the Israeli society, as a result of the suicide bombings, was the refusenik phenomenon. We thought we should further deepen this fracture, and the use of suicide bombers became a matter of consensus in the organisation."

2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
