A side note: If overly-ecumenical Americans ever finally fuse Hannukah and Christmas into one holiday decades hence, I do not think they should call the combined celebration Hamas.

Brief Foreign Policy Note: Dubai
I’m sure to many people it seems like too disturbing a topic to broach, but I must not be the only one over the past few days who’s been thinking, “Even if you find the assassination of a Hamas commander in Dubai troubling, isn’t it sort of nice to hear that it may have been done by the Mossad and Fatah working together? Cooperation has to start somewhere.”

Nice, but perhaps not so surprising. I don’t know if you’ve ever read Vengeance, it was later adapted as the film Munich, but part of Operation Wrath of God involved using intelligence from a shady arms-dealing outfit called Le Group, which also collected intelligence for the same terrorists that the Mossad was attempting to liquidate.
There’s also an interesting subplot involving Avener’s cooperation with a close childhood friend who was a member of the Baader-Meinof Group, which had bankrolled may Palestinian terrorist attacks overseas.
