Hamas: "We're Going to Keep Killing Jews"
This really should've gone in the "things you already could've guessed" post from earlier this morning, but we're not very good at this whole blogging thing. Anyway:
On the day the Hamas cabinet took office, Khaled Mashaal, the Damascus-based Hamas leader, promised the Palestinians "a dignified and proud life behind the resistance in defense of their honor, their land and their pride." He told Al-Jazeera: "Our battle is only against the Zionist occupation."
And by "only against the Zionist occupation" he means "only against Jews and their Jew-loving supporters":
Foreign Minister Mahmoud Zahar chose to begin his new career by launching a scathing attack on the US. "The US is biased toward Israel, guilty of crimes against the Muslim and Arab world and is widening the rift between the American people and those of the Middle East," he said.
Hamas is eager to take back their old "most murderous terrorist organization in Israel" trophy. The only thing we're not sure about is whether all those moderates in Fatah are going to let them have it back:
Disguised as a haredi (religious Jew), a palestinian got himself picked up by three Jews on their way back to their town in the West Bank. He blew himself up, killing the three haredim, at the entrance to the settlement... Fatah claimed the killing.
In other news, Hamas accused the US of dealing a "fatal blow to the road map" by rejecting the new terrorist Hamas cabinet. Because we wouldn't want to do anything to endanger the peace process.
