Some headlines can stand by themselves—they don’t need to be followed by a story.

Hamas blames world, Israel and Arabs

But here’s the story anyway:

The international community, Israel and Arab countries are to blame for the current inter-Palestinian fighting in the Gaza Strip for failing to life [sic] an economic siege on the Palestinians, a senior Hamas official said Wednesday.

The remarks by Moussa Abu Marzouk, deputy head of Hamas’ political bureau, came as fighting renewed between Hamas and Fatah in Gaza early Wednesday when Hamas gunmen stormed the home of a top Fatah official in Gaza City, killing five bodyguards inside, Palestinian security officials said.

The Saudis just paid off the Palestinians to the tune of $1 billion to get their house in order.

In Yiddish, they’ve got a word for this “you owe me” attitude from Hamas. Perhaps you’ve heard it?

Fucking Chutzpah.

As if that weren’t enough, they’re also trying to provoke Israel into invading Gaza, to take the heat off themselves.

If it weren’t so pitifully transparent, it would be sad.
