It's a trick.
Yep. "Come into my parlor" said the spider to the fly.
They must want money.
Of course it's a trick. It's no different than what Arafat did successfully for years. I guess the question is are we still that dumb.
Not 5 minutes before I posted this I saw an A.P. headline:
"HAMAS NOT READY TO TALK TO ISRAEL"
Someone posted it here on FR I think...
Sheeeeeez... What a bunch of idiots!
Are you implying that Palestinians are liars? [/sarcasm]
"But Mr Meshaal, who lives in exile in the Syrian capital, Damascus, also warned that the militant group was capable of leading the Palestinians in a long fight that they would be better able to bear than Israel."
Assuming total war doesn't break out. I suspect Israel will escalate the response the next time the Palis go intifada-y.
