		<description>&lt;i&gt;See if you can guess why Ben White believes that Hamas is &lt;b&gt;beating up mixed couples on beaches&lt;/b&gt; and insisting that women wear the hijab?&lt;/i&gt;

Actually the reports from the very &lt;b&gt;first&lt;/b&gt; days of Hamas rule were that they were beating women to death on the beaches for being seen with men... There were two women mentioned in one report (that turned out to be &lt;i&gt;married&lt;/i&gt; to the men they were with - the thugs didn&#039;t believe their story and killed them on the spot anyway), and another story mentioning one woman.

Actually the report was too delicate to say exactly how the women died at the beach, only that the doctor said that what was done was too horrible to contemplate.  Perhaps they were tortured, perhaps they were raped, the reporter didn&#039;t feel free to divulge.</description>

		<description>You are all so unfair to that sweet boy.  Just look at his pic.  It is clear that he is suffering from terminal naivety and just guess whose fault it is.  Now, don&#039;t you feel awful for saying all those things?</description>

		<description>What a joke Ben White.

Someone alluded to his &#039;book&#039; being sold on Amazon for a &#039;fiver&#039;.

Not very flattering. Some &#039;specialist&#039; toilet rolls cast less.</description>

		<description>On the positive note; 

Benny did not specifically attribute the Talibanization of Gaza to the separation wall. 

Nor has he spent  Christmas with Hamas yet ...&quot;Cruxifiction good&quot;...

		<description>Hey, give Ben some credit - he managed to write an article using the word &quot;Israel&quot; only twice.  What isn&#039;t clear is whether he wrote it in Sao Paolo or London.  Actually visiting the area might affct his objectivity.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m having flashbacks:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Interviewer:&lt;/b&gt;	Stig, I&#039;ve been told Dinsdale Piranha nailed your head to the floor.
&lt;b&gt;Stig:&lt;/b&gt;	No, no. Never, never. He was a smashing bloke. He used to give his mother flowers and that. He was like a brother to me.
&lt;b&gt;Interviewer:&lt;/b&gt;	But the police have film of Dinsdale actually nailing your head to the floor.
&lt;b&gt;Stig:&lt;/b&gt;	Oh yeah, well - he did that, yeah.
&lt;b&gt;Interviewer:&lt;/b&gt;	Why?
&lt;b&gt;Stig:&lt;/b&gt;	Well he had to, didn&#039;t he? I mean, be fair, there was nothing else he could do. I mean, I had transgressed the unwritten law.
&lt;b&gt;Interviewer:&lt;/b&gt;	What had you done?
&lt;b&gt;Stig:&lt;/b&gt;	Er... Well he never told me that. But he gave me his word that it was the case, and that&#039;s good enough for me with old Dinsy. I mean, he didn&#039;t want to nail my head to the floor. I had to insist. He wanted to let me off. There&#039;s nothing Dinsdale wouldn&#039;t do for you.
&lt;b&gt;Interviewer:&lt;/b&gt;	And you don&#039;t bear him any grudge?
&lt;b&gt;Stig:&lt;/b&gt;	A grudge! Old Dinsy? He was a real darling.
&lt;b&gt;Interviewer:&lt;/b&gt;	I understand he also nailed your wife&#039;s head to a coffee table. Isn&#039;t that right Mrs O&#039; Tracey?

Camera pans to show woman with coffee table nailed to head.

&lt;b&gt;Mrs O&#039; Tracey:&lt;/b&gt;	Oh, no. No. No.
&lt;b&gt;Stig:&lt;/b&gt;	Yeah, well, he did do that. Yeah, yeah. He was a cruel man, but fair&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Who&#039;s been giving Ben White the Monty Python discs?</description>

		<description>In &quot;Families and How to Survive Them&quot; (required reading for everyone in my undergraduate days) Robyn Skynner analyses paranoid behaviour in some depth.   He explains that most of us resort to paranoid ways of thinking when we are under stress, but that extremists cannot leave that behind and return to normal behaviour.

Hamas&#039; paranoia has resulted in extreme lunacy in order to help its leaders feel comfortable - the paranoid behaviour is carried to extremes to scapegoat others in order to make the ruling elite feel better.

The more powerful Hamas becomes, the more it loses contact with reality.  The worse it gets the more it will feel threatened by any diversity it hasn&#039;t created itself because these show it that it isn&#039;t omnipotent.  Hence the introduction of sharia which is an attempt to subvert expression of individuality, and the hatred of anything which is different and the need to destroy it.

But whatever it does can never be enough to keep it comfortable for long because it too afraid of its own demons. Deprived of opportunities to act out its hatred of Israel it has to find more and more dissenters within its own camp and punish them in order to believe that it is omnipotent.

Even if Hamas were to succeed in conquering Israel and imposing sharia in the whole area - or, in this case, because it cannot act out its hatred of Israel because Israel has neutred it, Hamas is becoming increasingly paranoid and getting more and more divorced from reality.  Its demons are multiplying and it will mete out death and destruction on a large scale upon its own people because there is no-one else to fight.  Ultimately it will kill off its own members and leaders.

And Ben White will probably blame Israel for that, too.</description>

		<description>Isy - there has been a rocket today too, but don&#039;t assume that even if another group is doing the actual trigger-pulling that it happens without Hamas knowledge/consent. Hamas are trying to walk a thin line between keeping the &#039;cease fire&#039; going long enough to restock their supplies of weaponary and keeping the &#039;resistance&#039; going -i.e. not looking soft. 
Also, don&#039;t forget that Hamas is competing with Hizbollah for funding from their mutual Iranian masters. A more obviously Islamic society with all the trappings of &#039;modesty&#039; in the Iranian style is going to have instant appeal in Tehran and is a policy which it is much easier for Hamas to enforce as they have almost total control over a geographically small area, rather than Hizbollah who are only a faction in a whole country.
Then there&#039;s the increacing competition from Al Queida affiliated groups within the Gaza strip, as the recent attack on the Dahlan wedding showed, and of course the need to discredit Fatah as being un-Islamic sell-outs and paint themselves as the true &#039;resistance&#039;.</description>
