Britain Joins Most Of Europe, Asia In Embracing Hamas

Remember the time when we accused the Italian ambassador of lying, because he was giving interviews where he promised that European countries would have nothing to do with Hamas? Let's review that particular statement again:

He boasted that it was in 2003, when Italy held the rotating EU presidency, that Hamas was listed as a terror organization by the block. “As you know when it comes to Hamas, Italy and the European countries are very firm in maintaining that Hamas need to accept Israel before accepting them as a political interlocutor,” he said.

Sounds pretty committed, don't he?

And then there's reality. Meryl gave us a heads up on a post from this morning on Adloyada:

A group of senior British MPs has held private meetings with prominent members of the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority, despite the international boycott imposed on the PA since the Islamic faction took office last March.

What international boycott is that, exactly? Because so far Hamas officials have met with:
China, Russia, and Egypt - to say nothing of European countries like Sweden, Normay, and Germany. And now they get to add British MPs to their list of enlightened diplomats who are willing to treat genocidal anti-Semites as legitimate leaders.
