"The UAE actively supports Hamas. "
So does Sweden. They just sent millions to the new government there. So do many other countries friendly to the US. Like it or not, Hamas runs the Palistinian Authority, a territory recognized by the UN. UAE is not alone in this support. Support for the political wing of Hamas was not sufficient reason to block this deal.
So Hamas says. I trust them. :-)
On the other hand, Hamas did just win the election in Palestine, so they are the "legitimate" governing party of that failed disaster of a state.
I don't support them though, I merely recognize the reality.
Rush is right.
According to Sun Tzu on the Art of War its better make friends with your enemies.
