Don't forget your jihad permission slip!

In a move reminiscent of grammar-school field-trip permission slips, Hamas figured out a great way to "crack down" on Gaza violence: regulate it! From AP:

"The new Hamas-led Palestinian government is quietly working to end a surge in violence, urging rival militant groups in the Gaza Strip to refrain from launching rockets at Israel without official permission.

Although the rocket attacks have not stopped and Hamas says it still supports violent resistance against Israel, its subtle efforts at persuasion look like an attempt to stabilize a chaotic situation so that it can focus on governing the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

'We want resistance to be arranged and organized,' said government spokesman Ghazi Hamad, adding that Hamas would try to get control over the rocket fire by negotiating with other militant factions. Hamas has not been participating in the attacks. ..."

If only the Hamas Rocket Assocation (HRA) didn't elect so many pro-Rocket legislators....
