My objections to Hitch's reflexive dislike for Israel are oversome here by his dead-on analysis of the evils of Hamas; forinstance (and only one good example of many): "Hamas' charter and many of its official proclamations announce that it endorses the so-called Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a dirty anti-Semitic fabrication produced by Christian and czarist extremists and adopted by the Nazis.
