Schadenfreude: Palestinian Edition

Well, it appears that both the Palestinian Authority and Hamas are are mired in accusing each other of adultery and homosexuality.


I have no doubt that some of these accusations are true. Heck, it's likely that most of them are. In any large organization, you will find gay people.

Of course, the DVD mentioned makes it more amusing.

As to the Schadenfreude, it's the sanctimony. Somehow, convincing a retarded kid to wear a bomb belt is moral, but sleeping with another man isn't.

Excluding marital infidelity, this is not really about morality, it's about religious hypocrisy, and the fact that the PA and Hamas are putting on their own little home grown versions of Tartuffe.

I find this amusing for the same reason that I found Jim Bakker's peccadillos amusing.

H/t Jewlicious for the catch.
