Mashaal is looking in the wrong places, Teribithia,Narnia, Nod or the land of Oz will all provide him with his fairtytale fantasies.

SO why can't this robust bag of wealth fattened poltico go "lead" his invented people from the heart of their sewer world into the future...by being there, leading, instead of being a foreign PUPPET MASTER living the large life while "his" ignorant gazans swim in a sewer of corruption and extremist/terorists...Turkey said go home, Damascas said go home, Jordan said go home...so what are you waiting for? a light rail system? go there make it happen instead of beating your stupid war drums... c'mon meeshaaal, get it together...go lead...go there to lead...

To bad Jimmy Carter is not Governor because he likes Hamas so well they could move to Georgia.
8. Meshaal should try
EZ   (01.31.12)
Venezuela. Or George Galloway's district in Scotland.
9. Hamas HQ
romo123 ,   London, UK   (01.31.12)
I'm surprised that they haven't found a nice building in a London square. They'd be welcomed there.
10. White House is not enough? Ohh... the patron does not pay
Miron ,   USA   (01.31.12)
health insurance. Poor guys, got to earn there due in the trenches.
11. The Arab Israeli conflict has never been strictly a local...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (01.31.12)
... one. Indeed, it has always been one between the Muslim-Arab world and the independent nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel. In addition to the Arab League coalition of states of which the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) is one, the Iran-Hizballah-IslamicJihad-Hamas-Syria coalition of Muslim and Arab forces is another, eager to bring about the demise of Israel and the annihilation of all traces of Jewish existence in it. This trip is simply the latest publicized illustration of this reality. Therefore, let us not be fooled by those, either due to lack of knowledge or sinister intents, calling the conflict an Israeli Palestinian one, since the local conflict between Arabs and Jews is certainly not and has never been the essence of the conflict. The essence has always been the categorical refusal by the entire Muslim-Arab world - not the Christian-Arabs, not the Druze-Arabs, mind you!! - to accept Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as the independent NATION-STATE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE on ANY parcel of land between the Jordan River and the Med. Sea.
12. Strange
John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (01.31.12)
Even Turkeys don't want troublemakers in their land. It's easier to send piss flotillas and make problems somewhere else, isn't it? I hope that nobody will give them refuge and that they will have to move to Gaza, where they belong. Among the people who they are fighting for, after all!!!
13. HOW ABOUT TEHRAN?
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (01.31.12)
You will end up there anyways, Mr. Mashal. Assad will also join you very soon, and then another failed Iranian experiment will send both of you to your 116 virgins. You can start naming them now, Mr. Mashal! God Speed!!!
14. #13 Terra de Terrorista-Venezuela
Deb ,   US   (01.31.12)
That's where they'll all end-up including Assad, Ahmadinejad, Khamenei and Nasrallah. The apartment complex Iran is building in Venezuela will be for their escape. Doubt any virgins will be interested in this lot. Lucky if they attract sturgeons.
