      Ah alright. In the context it makes more sense, it just hadn’t occurred me to make such comparison

    • The warning from the FBI was not about potential for attacks by Hamas, it was about attacka against America that might be carried out by Islamic extremists potentially from anywhere in the world. Basically, the word is that they’re hearing more chatter about attacking American in the homeland than at any time since September 11th.

      This I thought was in response to people on the right dear mongering about how dangerous Hamas is, and reminding Americans that people riding around the desert in pickup trucks with rocket launchers are not and never will be an existential threat to America.

      You know, most of these violent extremists want America out of the middle east, usually with reference to Saudi Arabia and Israel. They are religious fanatics, and right now it’s more or less about America’s patronage of Israel which people from which version of sky daddy get to control the hours of operation and P.A. announcements at each other’s shared holy sites. More or less.
