From our Middle East correspondent

The Israeli authorities have expelled four Hamas representatives from Jerusalem.


One of the banished MPs, Mohammed Abu Tir (above), told Cultural Snow:

"Sure an' oi'll go back to me little house under de toadstool in aul' Galway with me little shroine to Roy Keane, an' if ye rub me tummy t'ree toimes oi'll cast me ancient spells against the infidel agents of fascist Zionism, insha'Allah, so it is."

P.S. Of course, if I'd actually been fully awake when I first posted this, I could have come up with some wonderfully erudite Hibernian pun about Tir na nOg.

But I wasn't.

So I didn't.
