Hamas official vows to continue Palestinian uprising
DAMASCUS, Syria - A senior official from the militant Hamas group vowed on Saturday to continue fighting Israel until Palestinians attained their full rights.
Khaled Mashaal, head of the militant Palestinian group's political bureau, also said recent talks with the Palestinian Authority were "a step in the right direction."
"The uprising and resistance are an effective, correct, realistic and blessed road that would, God willing, lead to the realization of all the goals of the Palestinian people ... we see no other road," Mashaal said in a message to Palestinian university students on the group's 15th anniversary.
In his message, which was sent to The Associated Press office in Damascus, Mashaal said Israeli aggression would continue, even with an end to Palestinian resistance.
Mashaal said talks in Cairo held last month between Hamas representatives and members of Yasser Arafat's mainstream Fatah party were "a step in the right direction and constituted a wise response to the challenges of the current stage."
Arafat has been seeking a Hamas commitment to end suicide bombings against Israeli civilians. Hamas says such attacks are necessary because Palestinians possess no other effective means to fight the better-equipped Israeli army.
The Cairo talks failed to resolve differences.
Some 30,000 Hamas supporters marked the group's anniversary Friday in a southern Gaza stadium. Armed militiamen and bombers-in-waiting led the march, threatening new attacks on Israel.
Indeed, we should repay them with 15 months of a royal ass kicking, if they last THAT long.
All of Islam is rising to destroy us both because we dared to help them. It brought shame to Allah, who has done nothing for them but make them live in turd world countries in abject poverty as slaves to the mullahs. So by racial slogans, the masses of Islam are whipped into a frenzy against the only ones who ever helped them directly. We dug them oil wells, they stole them, we gave them medicine, money and technology, they flew them into our buildings.
Bigotry not only sours the heart and mind but it blinds the eyes. Bigotry is the slaves chains.
