Check out this Headline: Yes we did suicide attacks, but we are not terroristsUh, Excuse me?
Aziz Dweik, the Hamas-nominated Speaker of the council, sits in his office juggling mobile phones, all with a different piece of stirring music as the call sign. He has the air about him of a politician enjoying his victory.
Dr Dweik, by way of introduction - warm, smiling, welcoming - wants to make it clear that the Hamas cabinet consists mainly of people like him, professionals and academics, some of whom, like him, have studied abroad.
The idea, he says, that Palestinians are all ignorant terrorists is a lie cooked up by the Israelis and the Bush Administration.
Dr Dweik, a longtime Hamas member and leader, studied for his PhD at the University of Pennsylvania and has fond memories of his time there. He professes great affection for many Americans and says some are still his close friends.
I do not ever, EVER, recall President Bush saying that ALL Palestinians were ignorant or terrorists. However, electing a terrorist organization as the leaders of your country does not bode well, in MY opinion, on the intelligence scale.
Dr. Dweik is baiting and switching, obfuscating, as usual. The age old cries of the terrorist: yes, we killed, but so did they (only after we Palestinians killed civilians, but let's not talk about that); we killed for freedom (but Israel's self-defense is considered evil). Give me a break. This group is nothing but terrorists, and they are ignorant if they think the headline is going to win them any support.
But wait, the crazed delusions and hypocrisy continue from this clown:
Dr Dweik, asked how he can justify the Hamas suicide bombers, reaches for a piece of paper and writes an equation. It reads "Oppression + Hopelessness = Death".
He goes on to say that he does not want to throw the Israelis into the sea, not at all. He values human life and Hamas has stuck by its declared truce and will continue to stick by it.
Then change your charter, Dr. Dweik. Your charter says you want to destroy Israel, to push it into the sea. Change your founding charter, Dr. Dweik. Recognize Israel's existence. But, of course, that would mean admitting you did terrorist acts, and you can't do that--your lefty contributors might actually think twice before defending you..then again, they probably would defend you more.
