A couple of interesting things in this New York Times interview with Hamas leader, Mahmoud Zahar. First the title, which tells you so very much about the New York Times/New York liberal mind-set: Election Role Won't Soften Hamas Anger at the Israelis. Yes, that's right, Hamas is just angry...and if we could just get them to calm down, if we could just stop provoking them...fill in the rest. Feh. Hamas was born angry. Anger is their purpose.
Also, take note of this:
...During the course of the interview, the leader of the Palestinian Authority and of Fatah, Mahmoud Abbas, telephoned to ask Mr. Zahar what he thought of a speech Mr. Abbas gave Monday evening.
"Great man!" Mr. Zahar bellowed when he answered the phone. He told Mr. Abbas the speech "was positive and acceptable."
You think a guy who has to kow-tow to Hamas is going to do anything to teach and further peace and accept Israel's existence? No.
