Hamas has put together a rouse-the-troops video depicting the "liberation" of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, complete with the fiery destruction of the High Court of Justice, Palestinian cars zooming down a main Tel Aviv highway, and the takeover of Channel 2.

I think this was supposed to be scary, but it's so silly that I found it weirdly reassuring.

I can't watch it--the YouTube ban is not always a bad thing.

It's self-condemnatory, amateurish, shows how parasitic they are, and is revealing of the awful truth: Radical Islamists are pathological children with guns. The real problem is that Hamas will deny that it represents them; while at the same time, more pathological children will be recruited.

Maybe they plan to pummel you into submission with bad humor.

It's only a [self-inflicted] flesh wound.

I don't know how much comfort to take from that. Anyone nutty enough to make that clip thinking it's the least bit inspiring is crazy enough to do anything.
