Ten Tips on How to Be an Hamas Apologist

WITH ALL OF THE EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE that has now confirmed, beyond any
reasonable doubt, Hamas's terrorist connections and duplicitous
behavior vis-à-vis Israel, it has become impossible for Hamas's
apologists to make any legitimate excuses for their heroes. I know a
number of academics and writers that have become extremely depressed
because of this situation. Having based their entire lives and
professional careers on blaming Israel for any and every sparrow that
fell from the sky, they have now lost the will to live. I feel sorry
for these pathetic people

I have decided to come forward to help the individuals who want to
continue championing Hamas but simply don't know how.

Seeing that I have dedicated most of my adult life to observing and
dissecting the psychotic mindset that it takes to blame Israel for the
conflict in Palestine, I know exactly what it takes to be a Hamas
supporter. Even in these difficult times, I can teach an individual
how to effectively defend Hamas and the Palestinian Authority -- even
if the entire charade is filled with specious nonsense and lies.

I have created ten tips on how to be an Hamas apologist. They come
with an easy to follow step-by-step guide. All you have to do is
fertilize your personal dedication to anti-Semitism and then simply
allow yourself to become as delusional as humanly possible.

Here is the basic outline for all those Jew-haters who have dedicated
their lives to blaming Israel for every Arab terrorist act but thought
that doing so was no longer possible:

Tip #1 - Imagine that the Palestinians are fighting for a homeland
that was taken away from them by the evil Jews.

That's right. The foundation to becoming and remaining a faithful
pro-Hamas enthusiast is to intoxicate yourself with the belief that
the Palestinians actually once owned a homeland that was, in turn,
stolen by the greedy and parasitic Jews.

While trying to convince yourself of this fantasy, ignore the
historical fact that the Palestine Mandate was never a nation, let
alone even a political entity of any kind. It was a "mandate" that was
created by the British from the remnants of the Turkish Empire after
World War I. 10% of it was given to the Jews and 90% was given to the
Palestinian Arabs.

The key here is that you should never worry about where 90% of
Palestine actually is. Just obsess with the miniscule tiny bit of land
that the Israelis "occupy" now. It's not important that this land was
never officially "owned" by anyone in the first place.

You should also never reflect on whether all of your rage and hatred
on this issue is proportional to the fact that Israel consists of 1%
of the land in the Middle East.

Just get really angry that Israel is on territory that you think
should be given to the Palestinians. And because you think this, then
it automatically makes it right and historically correct.

You should never wonder how your moral indignation on this issue fits
with your complete indifference to the fact that Jordan occupies 80%
of the land that made up the original Palestine Mandate. So if you
really cared about the Palestinians, you would obviously be focusing
your energy on protesting the crime being perpetrated by the
Jordanians against the Palestinians. But the key here is that, well,
deep down, they don't really care about the Palestinians -- and
neither should you. You must never admit this, but the Palestinians
are only there for you to cynically exploit as pawns in your
contributory effort to finish off what Adolph Hitler started.

That's right. You know what I'm talking about. And even the
Palestinians are in on this with you. I mean, think about it: if the
Palestinians themselves really cared about getting a homeland, don't
you think that they would be screaming about -- and fighting for --
the land that Jordan occupies? Don't you think it is somewhat curious
that Jordan has never, even for a second, been the target of a
Palestine liberation movement?

Don't you think it is a little bit curious that, in 1948, the
Palestinian Arabs rejected an international resolution that would have
established a Palestinian state, and instead focused all of their
energies on destroying the new Jewish state?

You're starting to get the picture now, right?

So be a smart and clever Hamas apologist. The overall objective of
your life should be facilitating the killing of Jews and destroying
the state of Israel.

The last thing you should be doing is worrying about the Palestinians.

At the same time, however, in terms of what you actually say in
public, you must always discuss the Middle East "problem" on the
assumption that you are agonizing over the Palestinians' plight and
how their entire "homeland" somehow lies in tiny little Israel.

It is also a very good idea that you always refer to the myth of how
the Jews "stole" the Palestinian "homeland" in passing, because then
it makes its reality appear to be a given. You can't believe how
effective this ploy can be, especially in the midst of people who know
nothing about Middle East history.

So believe in yourself and just do it!

Tip #2 - Never question the cause of Palestinian terror.

Every time that a Palestinian blows himself up along with innocent
Jewish civilians, including babies in carriages, you should shake your
head in despair and say things like, "That poor Palestinian. But he
simply had no choice. The Israelis have pushed his people beyond their
means."

You should always say things like this with a tone that implies that
the "Israeli occupation" is the most oppressive reality in the world.
Say things like, "The Israelis are doing to the Palestinians what the
Nazis did to them." Follow this up with sentences like, "The Jews have
obviously forced the Palestinians into terrorism."

When you mouth these slogans, make sure to have a serious and sincere
look on your face, otherwise the asininity of what you are saying
might become more easily discernable. Maintaining a sober facial
expression can be made easier if you convince yourself that the wars
of 1973 and 1967 are irrelevant to the subject at hand.

Before Israel was attacked in 1973, it occupied less of the land that
is now in dispute, and before 1967, it occupied none of it. In other
words, the Arab terror that was unleashed against Israel in 1967 had
nothing to do with the Israeli "occupation" of the West Bank and Gaza
Strip because the "occupation" did not exist.

From 1949-1967, Jordan had occupied the West Bank while Egypt
controlled the Gaza Strip. But instead of the Arabs using terror
against Egypt and Jordan to get them off of the Palestinians' "land,",
an Arab war of terror against Israel was launched in 1967. Israel won
that war and grabbed both the West Bank and Gaza Strip as a security
measure.

So why is it, you think, that Jordan's annexation of the West Bank and
Egypt's annexation of the Gaza Strip from 1949-67 didn't trigger any
emotions in the Palestinians who lived in those territories? Why is it
that not once, in all of those 18 years, was there even a sentence of
indignation uttered by the Palestinians or by their "liberation"
organization about the injustice done to the inhabitants of the West
Bank and Gaza Strip? Why did other Arab states say nothing about it?

You know why. And this means that the terror against Israel has always
been, and still is, caused by something other than Israelis being on
any kind of "territory." I'll give you six hints about what the real
cause is connected to:

Hint #1: Hitler formulated the Final Solution because of it.

Hint #2: it has something to do with why Israel cannot be found on a
map in Palestinian geography classes. It's also connected to why
Palestinian textbooks teach Palestinian children that Jews are evil
thieves who have taken Arab land and who must therefore be killed. The
textbooks also tell the kiddies that suicide bombing is what Allah
loves most, since that noble and holy activity is the most effective
way of murdering Jews and "liberating" Palestine.

Hint #3: it's why the Palestinian Authority has published the Arabic
translation of Mein Kampf, and why that tract has reached number six
on its best-seller list.

Hint #4: It is connected to why, in 1960, when the Israelis captured
Adolph Eichmann, the government-run Saudi Arabian newspaper ran a
story headlined: "Arrest Of Eichmann, Who Had The Honor Of Killing Six
Million Jews."

Hint #5: it has something to do with the great honor and respect that
is bestowed in the Middle East upon anyone who succeeds in killing
Jews. For instance, if you blow yourself up along with some innocent
Jewish mothers and babies, your picture will be plastered on posters
throughout your hometown. Your family will acquire a revered place in
society and will also receive $25,000 in American currency from Saddam
Hussein. You, meanwhile, will get to fulfill all of your wildest and
repressed sexual fantasies with 72 virgins in heaven.

Hint #6: the whole matter is related to why Hashemi Rafsanjani, the
eminent representative of "Iranian moderation," has boasted that once
the Muslim world gets a hold of nuclear weapons, which he assures will
be very soon, the Jewish "question" will be solved forever.

Now that you know what the real cause of Palestinian terror is, make
sure to always deny it. Instead, consistently maintain to others that
it is the result of Israelis being on "Palestinian territory."

Tip #3 - Ignore the words of Palestinians.

When you make your arguments for the Palestinian right to a homeland,
always make sure to emphasize that the Palestinians acknowledge the
right of Israel to exist. To make sure this works effectively, never
mention, or ever even think about, what the Palestinians actually say
themselves.

For instance, never talk about the Palestinian Covenant of 1968,
because it embodies the philosophical principles of the Palestinians
themselves and says things that would shatter the foundation to all of
your arguments. For instance, Article 19 affirms that, "The partition
of Palestine in 1947 and the establishment of Israel is fundamentally
null and void, whatever time has elapsed, because it is contrary to
the wish of the people of Palestine and its natural right to its
homeland."

Article 15 states that, "The liberation of Palestine, from the Arab
viewpoint, is a national duty to repulse the Zionist, Imperialist
invasion from the great Arab homeland and to purge the Zionist
presence from Palestine."

Also ignore Articles 20 and 22, because they reject even the
historical and religious ties of Jews to the Holy Land itself. And
that is precisely why Palestinian children are yet to find the state
of Israel on any maps in their geography classes.

You also shouldn't worry that Hamas has never repudiated the Articles
in the Palestinian Covenant of 1968. This explains why, when speaking
English to Western audiences, he always talks about how he
acknowledges the right of Israel to exist. But when he speaks Arabic
to Arab audiences, he does little else but boast about his successes
in working toward the Palestinians' most ambitious goal: to destroy
the state of Israel. One only has to briefly listen to the Arab media,
mosque sermons, and classroom and cafe conversations to gauge that
this disposition represents a wide consensus in Arab society in
general and in Palestinian society in particular.

Thus, when you are trying to persuade someone about the good
intentions of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, and how they accept
the existence of Israel, never mention what the Palestinians
themselves talk about. You should most definitely stay away from the
subject of the 1968 Palestinian Covenant, because this could cause you
problems. If someone else brings it up, change topics immediately.

Tip #4 - Imagine that Palestinians were, and are better off without
Israel and the Israeli "occupation."

You should be constantly angry about the suffering of Palestinians and
be convinced that it is the fault of Israel. Palestinian suffering
should always be equated with Israeli responsibility. These two
notions must be inseparable in your mind.

Palestinian suffering is definitely not the fault of Hamas or of all
the Arab states - even though they have done everything in their power
to make sure that the Palestinians do not receive a homeland.

That's right. So try not to reflect too much on why the Palestinians
of the West Bank are barred from becoming citizens in the Arab world.
When the Gaza Strip was under Egyptian administration, for instance,
the Palestinians there were denied Egyptian citizenship and thereby
remained stateless. This is exactly why the Palestinians are known as
"refugees."

The Arabs love their Palestinian brothers. It's just that, well, they
love them from a distance.

In any case, you should try your hardest to convince yourself that the
Palestinians' life under the Israeli "occupation" is the worst
experience of any people under any regime in the history of the human
race. The first step to believing this notion is to ignore the fact
that Palestinians are much worse off in occupied Lebanon, where they
are denied basic rights to employment, healthcare and government
services -- unlike the Palestinians in Israel and in the "occupied"
territories.

You should also avoid the subject of how Kuwait ethnically cleansed
all Palestinians (about 300,000 of them) just a decade ago, and how
Jordanians slaughtered thousands of them after the 1967 war.

Try to imagine that all of this isn't very relevant. And neither is
the fact that the world community never said too much about these Arab
atrocities. It's okay when Muslim Arabs practice genocide against
Palestinians. It's only wrong when the Israelis oppress Palestinians
in the effort to defend themselves from terror.

You also shouldn't stress yourself about the racism against Arabs that
this whole double standard implies. Indeed, by holding Jews up to a
higher moral accountability than Arabs, the view that lets Arabs off
the hook for oppressing their own brethren implies a civilizational
inferiority to them -- and a civilizational superiority to Jews. But
don't think through this too much. You might get depressed after
realizing that, deep down, just like a Leftist despises the
"underclass" people for whom he purports to speak, so too you have
smug contempt for the Arabs that you believe you represent in your
self-alienated imagination.

The key, in general, is that you should just avoid the whole issue of
how the Jews have treated the Palestinians much better than the Arabs
have.

It is also a very good idea for you to ignore the fact that Israel has
given birth to an Arab citizenry inside Israel of more than one
million people. This way you won't have to wonder how it is that, as
Israeli citizens, Arabs have more rights, privileges and opportunities
than the citizens of any Arab state in the Middle East. Unlike their
Arab brothers and sisters, Arab citizens in Israel vote in free
elections and are themselves elected to the Israeli parliament. In
other words, the only place where Arabs know democracy and a high
standard of living is in a Jewish nation.

This is a hard pill to swallow for a person like you, who aspires to
demonize Israel and to glorify the Arab world as the embodiment of
true democracy and stupendous progress in world civilization.

So what you have to do is visualize images of how Israel is the most
evil nation on the face of the earth and how Arabs and Palestinians
have endured unspeakable suffering because of it.

Tip #5 - Imagine that Israel controls the "occupied" territories for
some bizarre, vague and sinister reason.

That's right: imagine that Israel controls the "occupied" territories
because Jews have nothing better to do than to inflict pain. They
think it's in their interest to trigger terrorism against themselves,
as well as to ignite the hatred of a large portion of the world's
population.

With great moral indignation, you should say things like, "the
Israelis need to get out of the occupied territories." Say this as if
it is a really easy, simple and safe thing for the Israelis to do.

Never consider that the Israeli "occupation" of the territories in
question might actually not be the greatest crime in world history. It
might also not deserve immediate rectification. Sometimes land is
confiscated when aggressive and terrorist states repeatedly attack
their neighbors -- and lose.

But this should not be your concern.

What should be your concern is to say things that make Israel look as
if it controls areas like the West Bank because Israelis need to fill
the void of no longer being allowed to sacrifice and eat gentile
babies in their religious rituals.

Tip #6 - Say that Hamas isn't a terrorist organization.

You should always say things like: "One man's terrorist is another
man's freedom-fighter." After that, say things like, " Hamas are
freedom-fighters."

You must always ignore that Hamas has provided sanctuary and support
to Palestinian suicide bombers and terrorists of all stripes. Be very
open-minded about how he has personally endorsed suicide bombings
rhetorically and celebrated the cult of "martyrdom" and other forms of
homicide.



And always make sure to announce things like, "Hamas has imprisoned
militants." When you say this, don't worry that the Palestinian
"jails" that Hamas places "militants" in are notorious for their bars
in the front and revolving doors at the back. Just tell people that
Hamas is really trying to get terrorism under control.



Don't lose any sleep over the fact that explosives of the specific
type used by Palestinian suicide bombers have been found in
Palestinian police stations all over the "occupied" territories. Also
don't concern yourself with the fact that 500 Palestinians were just
recently arrested in and around Hamas's compound and that dozens of
them were on Israel's lists of most-wanted terrorists. Hamas was
obviously still trying his best to track these people down. The reason
he couldn't find them was that they were cleverly hiding in his office
while he was desperately patrolling the West Bank looking for them.

And by all means, deny to others, as well as to yourself, that
connections between the Palestinian Authority and international
Islamic terror organizations, including al-Qaeda, have now been
established beyond any reasonable doubt. If you accept this reality,
then your whole belief system will come crashing down.


Just look really sure of yourself and say things like, " Hamas isn't a
terrorist group. They are freedom fighters."



Tip #7 - Imagine that Hamas has the interests of their own people in
mind.


This is the key to being an effective apologist for Hamas. You must
always tell people that your heroes truly cares about their own
people.

A person that truly wanted the best for the Palestinian people would
have embraced an offer that accepted 95% of the Palestinians'
negotiating demands and would have given the Palestinians their own
sovereign state in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip, more than 90
percent of the West Bank, and a capital in Jerusalem. That's what
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered Arafat in 2000. But Arafat
rejected the proposal, demanding, instead, the flooding of Israel with
millions of Palestinians. He knew, as Israelis did, that such a
development would destroy Israel as a Jewish state.

Arafat shrewdly understood that Israel could not, and would not,
engage in self-destruction and this is how he succeeded in his main
objective: to avoid the creation of a new Arab state and to annihilate
the only Jewish one. That's what the "Palestinian uprising," after
all, is really all about.


It is obvious, therefore, why Arafat had consistently stifled all
Israeli efforts to improve the prosperity of the Palestinian people.
He wanted his people to bleed in misery and destitution. That way
their suffering can be exploited in the Arabs' suicide wars against
Israel.

Now the key for you, therefore, is to deny the obvious.

What you have to do is look people in the eyes as honestly as you can
and say things like, "Hamas is really trying to help their people."


Tip #8 - Say that Arab terrorism has nothing to do with jealousy.


It is absolutely crucial that you consistently tell anyone you talk to
that Israel is vehemently hated by the Arabs because of something that
Israel has done to the Arabs.

Never consider what the Arabs of the Middle East would do with all of
their time if there were no Israel.

Never suspect that Middle Eastern Arabs spend such an inordinate
amount of their daily life hating a nation that takes up 1% of land in
the Middle East because they might have a little problem with envy and
jealousy.


It might not be the easiest thing for Arabs to reconcile themselves
with the reality that their culture has yet to produce one prosperous,
functional and democratic society. Yet they see that the Jews have
accomplished exactly that - in a tiny piece of land that was a desert
fifty years ago. Indeed, the Jews have built the most powerful economy
and the only industrial and democratic nation in the entire Middle
East.

This is a very painful truth for Middle Eastern Arabs to accept. So as
an Hamas apologist, your job is to completely ignore this phenomenon.
You must fantasize that when Arabs jump up and down with ferocious
rage for hours on end every day screaming "Death to Israel," that the
solution to their rage is definitely not to get a job, let alone a
life of any kind. The solution lies in the Jews smartening up and
stopping being so evil. If they did that, then obviously Arabs would
find better things to do then spend ten hours a day, seven days a
week, hollering at the top of their lungs and foaming at their mouths
in the middle of the barren deserts that they have lived in for
centuries.

You see: Arabs don't fail in making progress because of any serious
pathology in their personal lives and culture. No, they mope around in
long robes and headscarves in medieval societies because of what the
Jews are doing to the Palestinians. And yes, ok, these same Arabs
never lifted a finger or mouthed a word of protest when the
Palestinians received much harsher treatment from Arabs. But don't
think this through. Actually, if anyone ever points this out to you,
just say that the Arabs did protest the persecution of the
Palestinians by other Arabs but that the Western press just didn't
report it.


Tip #9 - Say it's in Israel's interest to pursue "peace".


You should constantly say that it is in Israel's interest to pursue
"peace," even though all of the evidence suggests the exact opposite.
More Israelis have died from terrorism since the signing of Oslo in
1993 than in the four decades before it. There have been more than 80
suicide bombings against Israel since the "peace process" began.
Before Oslo, suicide bombings were almost non-existent. Each new
atrocity against Israelis since 1993, meanwhile, has been hailed by
the Palestinian media and the Palestinian Authority that controls it.

You should ignore facts such as these and make it a daily habit to say
things like, "The Israelis should really try to make peace with Hamas.
It's in their interest."


Tip #10 - Shed yourself of any integrity you might have ever had.


In order for you to practice the previous nine tips successfully, you
need to make sure that you rid yourself of any personal dignity or
integrity that might ever have been a part of your character and
personality. You have to be absolutely shameless and live by
absolutely no ethical or moral standard of any kind.
Otherwise you will not be able to lie to others, and to yourself, the
way I instruct you to.

Hamas supporters have done it effectively before you. But now you can
do it the best. Be the best liar you can be. That way, you might yet
become the best Hamas apologist on earth. You can do it!

Now that you know what the real cause of Palestinian terror is, make
sure to always deny it. Instead, consistently maintain to others that
it is the result of Israelis being on "Palestinian territory."

Tip #3 - Ignore the words of Palestinians.

When you make your arguments for the Palestinian right to a homeland,
always make sure to emphasize that the Palestinians acknowledge the
right of Israel to exist. To make sure this works effectively, never
mention, or ever even think about, what the Palestinians actually say

For instance, never talk about the Palestinian Covenant of 1968,

viewpoint, is a national duty to repulse the Zionist, Imperialist
invasion from the great Arab homeland and to purge the Zionist
presence from Palestine."

Also ignore Articles 20 and 22, because they reject even the
historical and religious ties of Jews to the Holy Land itself. And
that is precisely why Palestinian children are yet to find the state
of Israel on any maps in their geography classes.

You also shouldn't worry that Hamas has never repudiated the Articles
in the Palestinian Covenant of 1968. This explains why, when speaking
English to Western audiences, he always talks about how he
acknowledges the right of Israel to exist. But when he speaks Arabic
to Arab audiences, he does little else but boast about his successes
in working toward the Palestinians' most ambitious goal: to destroy
the state of Israel. One only has to briefly listen to the Arab media,
mosque sermons, and classroom and cafe conversations to gauge that
this disposition represents a wide consensus in Arab society in
general and in Palestinian society in particular.

Thus, when you are trying to persuade someone about the good
intentions of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, and how they accept
the existence of Israel, never mention what the Palestinians
themselves talk about. You should most definitely stay away from the
subject of the 1968 Palestinian Covenant, because this could cause you
problems. If someone else brings it up, change topics immediately.

Tip #4 - Imagine that Palestinians were, and are better off without
Israel and the Israeli "occupation."

You should be constantly angry about the suffering of Palestinians and
be convinced that it is the fault of Israel. Palestinian suffering
should always be equated with Israeli responsibility. These two
notions must be inseparable in your mind.

Palestinian suffering is definitely not the fault of Hamas or of all
the Arab states - even though they have done everything in their power
to make sure that the Palestinians do not receive a homeland.

That's right. So try not to reflect too much on why the Palestinians
of the West Bank are barred from becoming citizens in the Arab world.
When the Gaza Strip was under Egyptian administration, for instance,
the Palestinians there were denied Egyptian citizenship and thereby
remained stateless. This is exactly why the Palestinians are known as
"refugees."

The Arabs love their Palestinian brothers. It's just that, well, they
love them from a distance.

In any case, you should try your hardest to convince yourself that the
Palestinians' life under the Israeli "occupation" is the worst
experience of any people under any regime in the history of the human
race. The first step to believing this notion is to ignore the fact
that Palestinians are much worse off in occupied Lebanon, where they
are denied basic rights to employment, healthcare and government
services -- unlike the Palestinians in Israel and in the "occupied"
territories.

You should also avoid the subject of how Kuwait ethnically cleansed
all Palestinians (about 300,000 of them) just a decade ago, and how
Jordanians slaughtered thousands of them after the 1967 war.

Try to imagine that all of this isn't very relevant. And neither is
the fact that the world community never said too much about these Arab
atrocities. It's okay when Muslim Arabs practice genocide against
Palestinians. It's only wrong when the Israelis oppress Palestinians
in the effort to defend themselves from terror.

You also shouldn't stress yourself about the racism against Arabs that
this whole double standard implies. Indeed, by holding Jews up to a
higher moral accountability than Arabs, the view that lets Arabs off
the hook for oppressing their own brethren implies a civilizational
inferiority to them -- and a civilizational superiority to Jews. But
don't think through this too much. You might get depressed after
realizing that, deep down, just like a Leftist despises the
"underclass" people for whom he purports to speak, so too you have
smug contempt for the Arabs that you believe you represent in your
self-alienated imagination.

The key, in general, is that you should just avoid the whole issue of
how the Jews have treated the Palestinians much better than the Arabs
have.

It is also a very good idea for you to ignore the fact that Israel has
given birth to an Arab citizenry inside Israel of more than one
million people. This way you won't have to wonder how it is that, as
Israeli citizens, Arabs have more rights, privileges and opportunities
than the citizens of any Arab state in the Middle East. Unlike their
Arab brothers and sisters, Arab citizens in Israel vote in free
elections and are themselves elected to the Israeli parliament. In
other words, the only place where Arabs know democracy and a high
standard of living is in a Jewish nation.

This is a hard pill to swallow for a person like you, who aspires to
demonize Israel and to glorify the Arab world as the embodiment of
true democracy and stupendous progress in world civilization.

So what you have to do is visualize images of how Israel is the most
evil nation on the face of the earth and how Arabs and Palestinians
have endured unspeakable suffering because of it.

Tip #5 - Imagine that Israel controls the "occupied" territories for
some bizarre, vague and sinister reason.

That's right: imagine that Israel controls the "occupied" territories
because Jews have nothing better to do than to inflict pain. They
think it's in their interest to trigger terrorism against themselves,
as well as to ignite the hatred of a large portion of the world's
population.

With great moral indignation, you should say things like, "the
Israelis need to get out of the occupied territories." Say this as if
it is a really easy, simple and safe thing for the Israelis to do.

Never consider that the Israeli "occupation" of the territories in
question might actually not be the greatest crime in world history. It
might also not deserve immediate rectification. Sometimes land is
confiscated when aggressive and terrorist states repeatedly attack
their neighbors -- and lose.

But this should not be your concern.

What should be your concern is to say things that make Israel look as
if it controls areas like the West Bank because Israelis need to fill
the void of no longer being allowed to sacrifice and eat gentile
babies in their religious rituals.

Tip #6 - Say that Hamas isn't a terrorist organization.

You should always say things like: "One man's terrorist is another
man's freedom-fighter." After that, say things like, " Hamas are
freedom-fighters."

You must always ignore that Hamas has provided sanctuary and support
to Palestinian suicide bombers and terrorists of all stripes. Be very
open-minded about how he has personally endorsed suicide bombings
rhetorically and celebrated the cult of "martyrdom" and other forms of
homicide.



And always make sure to announce things like, "Hamas has imprisoned
militants." When you say this, don't worry that the Palestinian
"jails" that Hamas places "militants" in are notorious for their bars
in the front and revolving doors at the back. Just tell people that
Hamas is really trying to get terrorism under control.



Don't lose any sleep over the fact that explosives of the specific
type used by Palestinian suicide bombers have been found in
Palestinian police stations all over the "occupied" territories. Also
don't concern yourself with the fact that 500 Palestinians were just
recently arrested in and around Hamas's compound and that dozens of
them were on Israel's lists of most-wanted terrorists. Hamas was
obviously still trying his best to track these people down. The reason
he couldn't find them was that they were cleverly hiding in his office
while he was desperately patrolling the West Bank looking for them.

And by all means, deny to others, as well as to yourself, that
connections between the Palestinian Authority and international
Islamic terror organizations, including al-Qaeda, have now been
established beyond any reasonable doubt. If you accept this reality,
then your whole belief system will come crashing down.


Just look really sure of yourself and say things like, " Hamas isn't a
terrorist group. They are freedom fighters."



Tip #7 - Imagine that Hamas has the interests of their own people in
mind.


This is the key to being an effective apologist for Hamas. You must
always tell people that your heroes truly cares about their own
people.

A person that truly wanted the best for the Palestinian people would
have embraced an offer that accepted 95% of the Palestinians'
negotiating demands and would have given the Palestinians their own
sovereign state in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip, more than 90
percent of the West Bank, and a capital in Jerusalem. That's what
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered Arafat in 2000. But Arafat
rejected the proposal, demanding, instead, the flooding of Israel with
millions of Palestinians. He knew, as Israelis did, that such a
development would destroy Israel as a Jewish state.

Arafat shrewdly understood that Israel could not, and would not,
engage in self-destruction and this is how he succeeded in his main
objective: to avoid the creation of a new Arab state and to annihilate
the only Jewish one. That's what the "Palestinian uprising," after
all, is really all about.


It is obvious, therefore, why Arafat had consistently stifled all
Israeli efforts to improve the prosperity of the Palestinian people.
He wanted his people to bleed in misery and destitution. That way
their suffering can be exploited in the Arabs' suicide wars against
Israel.

Now the key for you, therefore, is to deny the obvious.

What you have to do is look people in the eyes as honestly as you can
and say things like, "Hamas is really trying to help their people."


Tip #8 - Say that Arab terrorism has nothing to do with jealousy.


It is absolutely crucial that you consistently tell anyone you talk to
that Israel is vehemently hated by the Arabs because of something that
Israel has done to the Arabs.

Never consider what the Arabs of the Middle East would do with all of
their time if there were no Israel.

Never suspect that Middle Eastern Arabs spend such an inordinate
amount of their daily life hating a nation that takes up 1% of land in
the Middle East because they might have a little problem with envy and
jealousy.


It might not be the easiest thing for Arabs to reconcile themselves
with the reality that their culture has yet to produce one prosperous,
functional and democratic society. Yet they see that the Jews have
accomplished exactly that - in a tiny piece of land that was a desert
fifty years ago. Indeed, the Jews have built the most powerful economy
and the only industrial and democratic nation in the entire Middle
East.

This is a very painful truth for Middle Eastern Arabs to accept. So as
an Hamas apologist, your job is to completely ignore this phenomenon.
You must fantasize that when Arabs jump up and down with ferocious
rage for hours on end every day screaming "Death to Israel," that the
solution to their rage is definitely not to get a job, let alone a
life of any kind. The solution lies in the Jews smartening up and
stopping being so evil. If they did that, then obviously Arabs would
find better things to do then spend ten hours a day, seven days a
week, hollering at the top of their lungs and foaming at their mouths
in the middle of the barren deserts that they have lived in for
centuries.

You see: Arabs don't fail in making progress because of any serious
pathology in their personal lives and culture. No, they mope around in
long robes and headscarves in medieval societies because of what the
Jews are doing to the Palestinians. And yes, ok, these same Arabs
never lifted a finger or mouthed a word of protest when the
Palestinians received much harsher treatment from Arabs. But don't
think this through. Actually, if anyone ever points this out to you,
just say that the Arabs did protest the persecution of the
Palestinians by other Arabs but that the Western press just didn't
report it.


Tip #9 - Say it's in Israel's interest to pursue "peace".


You should constantly say that it is in Israel's interest to pursue
"peace," even though all of the evidence suggests the exact opposite.
More Israelis have died from terrorism since the signing of Oslo in
1993 than in the four decades before it. There have been more than 80
suicide bombings against Israel since the "peace process" began.
Before Oslo, suicide bombings were almost non-existent. Each new
atrocity against Israelis since 1993, meanwhile, has been hailed by
the Palestinian media and the Palestinian Authority that controls it.

You should ignore facts such as these and make it a daily habit to say
things like, "The Israelis should really try to make peace with Hamas.
It's in their interest."


Tip #10 - Shed yourself of any integrity you might have ever had.


In order for you to practice the previous nine tips successfully, you
need to make sure that you rid yourself of any personal dignity or
integrity that might ever have been a part of your character and
personality. You have to be absolutely shameless and live by
absolutely no ethical or moral standard of any kind.
Otherwise you will not be able to lie to others, and to yourself, the
way I instruct you to.

Hamas supporters have done it effectively before you. But now you can
do it the best. Be the best liar you can be. That way, you might yet
become the best Hamas apologist on earth. You can do it!
