Ahmad Yousuf, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh's political advisor, said that during the recent US presidential race a secret meeting between senior Islamist group figures and advisors to President-elect Barack Obama was held in Gaza.
"We were in contact with a number of Obama's aides through the Internet, and later met with some of them in Gaza, but they advised us not to come out with any statements, as they may have a negative effect on his election campaign and be used by Republican candidate John McCain (to attack Obama)," Yousuf said in an interview with London-based Arabic-language newspaper Al-Hayat, published Tuesday
Yousuf said Hamas's contact with Obama's advisors was ongoing, adding that he was still on good terms with some of the aides he had befriended while residing in the US.
According to Yousuf, Haniyeh will send Obama a telegram congratulating him on his victory.
"The policy Obama will instate in the Middle East will differ from that of his predecessor George W. Bush, although it is clear that the region and the Palestinian issue will not be at the top of his agenda," Yousef told Al-Hayat, "(the president-elect) will focus more on the economic crisis, Iraq and Afghanistan."
Goodbye Israel.
Well well well. Obama loves terrorists. I am surprised.......not!
To be sure, “the region” will rise to the top of Obama’s agenda....and it won’t be a good thing for Israel.
It will have no impact. 9%
It will strengthen the advance of Islam in America. 84%
It will help roll back the advance of Islam in America. 7%
Will we see this in the MSM?
Where the hell is the Logan act enforced in this country? WHEN the hell is treason an offense?
Absolutely....calculating.
Was this contact a violation of federal law?
Is this the link? http://www.truthformuslims.com/polls.htm
As soon as Lucifer hosts the Stanley Cup.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for the Obamunist Media to reveal any unpleasant truth about their savior and comrade.
Can’t believe how many Jewish people voted for him.
The clown hasn’t even been sworn in, and the pattern of abuse and contempt for tradition and protocol is already well established.
ping to send to my liberal Jewish coworkers who are in ACLU and Move On BUT support Israel. This stuff is SO sweet, will love to see them crushed (like I was with you know who)
Remember the six days war? God has a few surprises for those who curse Israel.
He’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen....he really is presumptuous, arrogant, self-willed, rebellious, and....creepy.
