The Hamas Minister of, uh, Culture (video at the link) has a few choice words about the USA Secretary of State. Some choice tidbits (more transcript at the link):
With the arrival of that black scorpion with a cobra’s head, Condoleezza, I began to worry that she would use her venomous fangs and hiss to kill this initiative and new spirit that we should protect.
The arrival of Condoleezza Rice is not a good sign. An even worse sign is the meeting between the Palestinian leadership and the Zionist entity, in the presence of that scorpion-cobra. Condoleezza Rice, you are not welcome.
Every proud Palestinian views you as a murderer, and sees the blood of the children of Palestine between your lips and on your fangs. I pray to Allah that you will soon slither away, along with your master who is more Zionist than the Zionists, that murderer and criminal, whose place in history is more advanced than that of Nero, Hulagu, Genghis Khan, Timor the Lame, Hitler, and Mussolini, and before them that of Nimrod, that criminal murderer, little Bush, who is striving to fan the flames in this region.
Bush believes in the same idea as the Jews: The land from the Euphrates to the Nile is yours, oh Israel.
We must be very wary of the rotten American policies in the region, which are represented by the scorpion-cobra Condoleezza.
This is actually mildly encouraging. There wasn’t a single reference to “the Great Satan”, and he actually referred to Israel as “Israel”, for once, not merely as “the occupier” or “the Zionist entity” or whatever.
Baby steps, right?
I’m sure we can work with these people.
