The following translation of an essay by the excellent Ben-Dror Yemini appears in the original Hebrew in Ma'ariv, here, and I have edited the translation I received slightly for readability:

The Hate Ship

The Hamas regime in Gaza decided recently to show the world what it knows what to do. Not that we did not know, but the timing was important. Let's remember how it all began. During the violent and brutal [takeover] of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Hamas hooligans forced their prisoners to lie down and massacred them. If someone raised his head they shot him again to make sure he was dead. Most of the leading television channels in the world did not screen these pictures. Wonder why. The sequel was in the same vein. Hamas turned out to be an exact copy of the Taliban. Women were forced, under threat, to wear the burka, more men are bearded. Christian institutions were attacked.

If there are still pockets of resistance, Hamas knows how to deal with them. The last wave of violence included gas treatment. Pipes were thrust into intimate parts of the body, and gas was pumped in through the pipes. Nine people were killed, some undoubtedly in cold blood. [Note: This refers to the recent fighting involving the Hilles Clan. The gas treatment was related by members of the clan and reported in the Hebrew press, but not elsewhere AFAIK. -S] It can be assumed that there were many more, but under the oppressive control of the Hamas, no one can know for sure. Massacre for its own sake -- for that is what Islamic extremism knows what to do. That is what happened in Algeria, where 100,000 people were slaughtered. That is what is happening in Darfur, where 400,000 people have already been killed. That is what is happening in Somalia, where the number of victims is unknown. That is what happened under the Taliban regime. Hamas is acting according to the same rules. That is what political Islam knows. That is what Hamas is doing.

This murderous regime is becoming the darling of the "forces of progress." The same people, from the same school of mind, who in the past supported Stalin, who murdered 20 million of his own people, Mao, who murdered 70 million of his people, the Khmer Rouge, and to a certain extent Khomeini, too (Michel Foucault for example) -- and also Saddam Hussein. And the parade goes on. The philosopher Zizek Slavoj, a rock star on many campuses, including in Israel, is a fervent supporter of revolutionary murderers, with sympathetic insights into radical Islam. And of course he loathes Israel.

The alliance between the forces of progress with mass murderers has now found another expression. They will not support the Palestinian side which is perceived as supporting reconciliation and agreement. They are with Hamas. They are partners on the ship of hatred which is due to set out from Cyprus for the Hamas kingdom in the Gaza Strip. Of course. So the regime of murder will not be confined only to the Gaza Strip. It has to be nurtured. Once again we have the link between the world Left and the kingdom of evil. They pump gas into the anus of human beings and representatives of the forces of progress respond with a ship that will come to help their regime.

If we were talking about the tiniest extremist fringe--it might not matter so much. But at a certain stage it was reported on a Palestinian website that the Jimmy Carter Center supports the ship which supports the murderous regime. The list of supporters of the hate regime also includes a holder of the Nobel Peace Prize, Mairead Corrigan-Maguire from Ireland. Desmond Tutu from South Africa, Clare Short, a former minister in the government of Tony Blair (in the past she accused Israel of being responsible for global warming), Attorney Lauren Booth, Blair's sister-in-law, and others. There is also a token Jew: Hedi Epstein, an 84 year-old Holocaust survivor. Her family perished. She herself left Germany in 1939. It is odd. She was saved from the gas chambers in order to support a regime which kills its own people by means of gas.

What exactly leads such people, who speak in the name of peace and human rights, to support one of the darkest regimes in the world? When it comes to the Palestinians -- not all of them of course -- it is clear that hatred of Israel is more important to them than concern for themselves. That seems to be the problem of most of the people on the ship as well. Their hatred of Israel is much more important than concern for peace and human rights. They prefer the pact with the devil, they will cooperate with the terror regime, because the main thing is hatred of Israel.

These apologists of fanatic regime, these members of the satanic cult, these hypocrites, are in no position to preach to anybody about peace and human rights.
