Iran Is Losing It--Is Hamas Losing It Too?

Last month, Michael Ledeen gave a list of some of the signs that Iran is facing growing popular discontent with the Iranian regime. His list, which he elaborates on in his post, includes:

• There is still no end to the bazaar strike, even though the regime has taken very violent action against the strikers.

• The major natural gas pipeline between Iran and Turkey was sabotaged.

• Saturday – Sunday night there was a serious fire at the old petrochemical plant on Kharq island.

• A bit over a week ago, amidst the continuing strikes at major bazaars around the country, there was a double suicide terrorist attack against the mosque in Zahedan, killing nearly 30 revolutionary guards.

• It has been a very hot summer, and the electrical grid in and around Tehran has given up the ghost many times, especially in recent weeks.

• As the regime increasingly wages war against itself, the comings and goings of seemingly powerful people have become almost impossible to sort out. There have been repeated purges in the ranks of the Revolutionary Guards, and the supreme commander, Gen. Jafari, has now publicly stated that many senior officers had actively sided with the opposition.

Now Elder of Zion provides a similar service, noticing stories about Internal Unrest in Gaza that have been missed by the some of the Arab media--let alone the Western media--that indicate that Hamas does not have as firm a grip on the Gazans under its control as it once did. He gives a list of 6 separate violent incidents--3 of them including bombs--in just the last 2 weeks.

And that doesn't even include reports about Hamas on killing spree in Gaza with bodies found at sea off of Gaza, with gunshots to the head.

Is Hamas losing it too?
