Hamas has a political side to their agenda, but when they resort to terrorism they must be treated as terrorists. So is he saying if Hamas stopped committing terrorism, and only did political things like teaching children to kill Jews, they will not be seen by the UK as terrorists?
What about Al Queda's political side?
The hypocrisy is staggering.
