There’s a Simpsons episode where the police force confiscates marijuana and publicly burns it in a large outdoor bonfire. People of course get high off the smoke, and chief Wiggum smartly orders his officers to throw a bag of barber hair on the fire. Surprising as it may seem, chief Wiggum was actually smarter than Hamas.

First, there is the headline:

Hamas burns ‘confiscated’ drugs

Intriguing, but let’s hear more. There’s the standard news conference where they show off the loot:

Hamas displayed tables full of marjiuana, hashish, cocaine and ecstasy at a news conference to show the results of its operations.

The blaming of political rivals:

Mr Ghussein accused rivals Fatah of allowing a drug culture to flourish and collaborating with Israel to corrupt Gaza’s youth.

Then, the Simpsons-esque solution to the problem:

Later, black-clad members of Gaza’s security forces tossed the drugs onto a fire, sending plumes of smoke over Gaza City.

Really, I don’t think anyone could make this up.
