Hamas Members Have Lost Right to be Humanitarians
(Chicago Sun-Times) Editorial - If you're a terrorist who brutally murders innocents or a sympathizer who supports such crimes, to further some political cause, you can't be held any less accountable because you help people on your "good" days. But in employing members of Hamas as relief workers in the Mideast, the UN is giving these cold-blooded individuals exactly that kind of free pass. Hamas has massacred hundreds of men, women, and children and wounded thousands, many in suicide attacks. In hiring members of Hamas, the UN gives it a made-to-order cover for its bad deeds. It's bad enough that the UN hasn't taken a more active role in censuring Palestinian terrorism and recognizing Israel's legitimate defense needs. To harbor Hamas terrorists or their sympathizers in the name of humanitarian good is a crime in and of itself.
