But then, we knew they’d never stop. So, how’s that moderation watch going?
Hamas leader-in-exile Khaled Meshaal said on Wednesday the Palestinian militant group will continue to fight Israel and told the United States that its Middle East policy would fuel terrorism.
“Israel cannot have stability with occupation. It has to choose. This is the message Israel should understand,” he told Reuters in an interview in Abu Dhabi.
“Armed resistance is legitimate. All resistance options are open to the Palestinian people and Palestinian factions including Hamas,” said Meshaal, who is touring Arab and Muslim countries to solicit financial and political support.
He said that he informed Arab leaders that the government his group will head needs $1.75 billion per year to make ends meet and that he was confident that they would help.
They sense victory. Unilateral withdrawal from the West Bank at this time is a very, very wrong thing for Israel to do. Unless Olmert is preparing to go to all-out war as the missiles fall on Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
