As everyone knew he would, Mahmoud Abbas is learning to love Hamas: Abbas’ party OKs Hamas unity government.

A Fatah member provides the necessary context:

“The problem is the Israeli occupation,” he said.

Uh huh.

Meanwhile, in related news of the coming Islamic domination of the world:

Meanwhile, a radical Islamic group called Hizb al-Tahrir (Liberation Party) is planning to declare the birth of an Islamic caliphate in the Gaza Strip on Friday. The relatively small party, which is seen as more extreme than Hamas, is said to have increased its popularity following what is perceived as a Hizbullah victory over Israel.

On Tuesday, thousands of the party’s supporters staged a demonstration in Gaza City to mark the anniversary of the end of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. It was the first demonstration in the Gaza Strip in which demonstrators called for establishing an Islamic caliphate that would rule not only in the PA territories, but the entire world.

Buoyed by the large turnout, the party’s leaders are now considering declaring an Islamic caliphate in the Gaza Strip during Friday prayers, sources close to the party said.

And not a single photo from these demonstrations on the wires. Go figure.
