David Gerstman says that Washington Post Jerusalem correspondent Molly Moore can’t escape ‘the hobgoblins of her limited world view,’ as illustrated in Moore’s latest piece on Hamas:

Hamas in the eyes of Molly Moore is an invincible entity, able to respond to devastating blows immediately. I don’t blame Israelis for being scared; past experience has shown that Hamas often retaliates for the killing of their leaders. But it doesn’t usually happen right away. A reporter should know that. A reporter also might investigate whether Hamas might have been hurt by the killing of its charismatic leader. But Moore and her paper are too convinced that there’s a cycle of violence. She needn’t investigate further.
