Hate in Hebron, swimming pools in Gaza

One of the places I wanted to visit in Israel was the tomb of the Patriarchs in Arab-dominated Hebron, in Judea, a few miles southeast of Jerusalem.

My host suggested I forget it. He was driving and his car has Israeli plates. And Israeli plates draw, at the very least, hateful stares in Hebron, as my favorite Middle East correspondent Michael Totten recently found out.

Meanwhile, as the latest “humanitarian” flotilla of useful idiots heads for Gaza to relieve the poor, suffering terrorists of Hamas, I wonder how the Gazan kids are enjoying their Olympic-size swimming pool these days? It is hot, this time of year.
