I've Been Thinking:

Hamas is shocked by the Arab Leagues endorsement of the Annapolis meeting.
Hamas interprets the endorsement as a betrayal of the Palestinian cause.

Actually, I am not shocked that Hamas is shocked.
Hamas has never been able to read the political map and Hamas has no understanding of regional politics.
If Hamas could read the map they would never have thrown out Fatah while taking over Gaza.
Yes, Saudi Arabia sponsors Hamas and yes, Syria both houses and sponsors Hamas but the Annapolis Conference is not about Hamas.

The reality is that The Region disapproves of the actions and activities of Hamas in every area with the exception of terrorist acts against Israel - and even that is no longer fashionable in some quarters of Muslim leadership.

Hamas and religious extremists are real threats to everybody.
Hamas does not represent Palestinians.
Hamas should not be surprised to discover their budget and future contributions further reduced.
Hamas needs to get with the program.
