Hamas blames US 'Jewish Lobby' for financial crisis

[eyl]

Ah, golden oldies....

The Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas which rules the Gaza Strip on Tuesday blamed what it called a "Jewish lobby" in the US for the global financial crisis.

Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhum said in a statement that the crisis was due to "bad administrative and financial management and a bad banking system put into place and controlled by the Jewish lobby."

While pumping hundreds of billions of dollars into a rescue package, US President George W. Bush has remained silent about "the Jewish lobby that put the US banking and financial sector into place," he said.

He said the lobby "controls the US elections and defines the foreign policy of any new administration in a manner that allows it to retain control of the American government and economy."

I'm surprised the Jews haven't been blamed for the weather yet! Maybe we have, and I just haven't noticed.

6. It was just a matter of time before the anti-semites blamed this on the "Jewish lobby"

Why don't they get their own affairs in order, because Hamas has sure made a mess of their own territory.

They are too busy smuggling in money from Iran and illegally trading weapons.

They aren't even a part of the global market; they do everything on the dole and underground.
