File under: Hamas

#1 This would all be the usual laughable and pathetic Palestinian misappropriation of funds save for one thing: Islam in general and the Palestinians in particular are past masters at manipulating media outlets for propaganda purposes. Couple this with how incredibly effective even the most obvious fabrications are within the abjectly credulous environs of Islamic culture and there is little doubt that Hamas could well make this into one well-oiled propaganda machine.

If Israel has any brains, they'll let Hamas sink every last cent of their $200 million into this fantasy factory and then blow it straight to hell on opening night.

#2 Zahar has written seven novels, including a 1980 romance called "Beautiful Woman."

it's a novel about a wealthy Hamas businessman who procures a hooker for the night and falls in love... but he has a wart on his nose and she thinks it makes him handsome....

It did occur to me that perhaps this is not the optimal time to be making an investment of this magnitude in such an obvious target, though perhaps they expect to keep kids there 24/7 as human shields.

#5 It will never happen. Given the leve of corruption and graft, it would take 200 billion to build a 20 million project...

#6 I can see the Universal Studios rip-offs now: "Men In Black" becomes "Women In Black", "Jimmy Neutron" becomes "Jimmy Jihad", the kids help E.T. head to Mecca...
