10. So Hamas is better at PR
If that were true your post would read much differently wouldn't it? Besides I did not say PR exactly either I said letting in just enough food to "keep the skeletons alive" that is not good PR but it is not as bad death from hunger either is it?
As far as this part goes

egypts opens the border for food with only a minimum of pressure
(this is the most interesting, because it shows how so many in the intl community prefer to play politics with the Palestinians health....i.e. use them to pressure israel. It also shows the hypocrisy involved, some have made it clear they would rather not pressure egypt, but have no problem in pressuring israel, because is "israels fault"...and the Palestinians continue to suffer because of it)


Been there done that but one last time for my part if Egypt wishes to open their border fine but they are obligated to do that either.

As far as the Haj goes from what I have read amas not allowing people to go has much more to do with the conflict with Fatah who made arrangements bot hiding thing and BTW if they were so good at PR they would not pull a move that stupid, doesn't seem very Islamist to me

And lest I forget the "taxed tunnels even you admitted that Hamas was probably not getting much out of that one.
