You got to love Hamas: no matter how much left-wingers say that we should Reason with Hamas, no matter how much people say that Israel and the West should negotiate with Hamas, the terrorist turned political organization keeps on showing its true colors:

The extermination of Jews is Allah’s will and is for the benefit of all humanity, according to an article in the Hamas paper, Al-Risalah. The author of the article, Kan’an Ubayd, explains that the suicide operations carried out by Hamas are being committed solely to fulfill Allah’s wishes. Furthermore, Allah demanded this action, because “the extermination of the Jews is good for the inhabitants of the worlds.”

An excerpt from the article:

“We find more than once condemnation and denunciation to the resistance operations and bombings [suicide attacks], carried out by Hamas and the Palestinian resistance branches. There is no other choice but to use restraint regarding the condemnation, the attaching of the label of terror [to "resistance"], and the assembling of conferences [for] condemnation [of the attacks]. [This] so that everyone will know, that we did this only because our lord commanded so, “I did it not of my own accord” [*] and so that people will know that the extermination of Jews is good for the inhabitants of the worlds on a land, to which Allah gave his blessing for the sake of the inhabitants of the worlds.”
[Al-Risalah, April 23, 2007]

Verbal gaffe, anyone?

    barely. More like token responses by the U.N.

    I would point out, in the spirit of the recent Republican debate, that Ronald Reagan was able to negociate with the Soviet Union.

    And Richard Nixon opened diplomatic relations with China.

    Both these regimes had records of massive human rights violations and genocidal campaigns. But two very highly anti-Communist leader were able to have fruitful discussions with them.

    I suspect the same is possible between Israel and Hamas.

    Verbal gaffe?

    Only insofar as speaking truthfully about their motives can be considered a gaffe.

    Marc: agreed, I was making fun of those who defended Reid by saying that it was a verbal gaffe
