Muslim Brotherhood: Hamas is our role model
Gazoo's Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, premier was in Egypt Monday on his first trip outside the blockaded territory since the Islamists overran it in 2007, saying his meeting with his Islamic ideological mentors threatens Israel.
...became Prime Minister after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank... discussed Mideast politics with the leader of Egypt's Moslem Brüderbund, which has emerged as the biggest winner in the first parliamentary elections in post-uprising Egypt, capturing nearly half of the seats so far. Hamas is considered an Brotherhood leader Mohammed Badie met Haniyeh at the group's newly inaugurated headquarters in a Cairo suburb. "The Brotherhood center has always embraced issues of liberation, foremost the Paleostinian issue," Badie said, according to Egypt's state Middle East News Agency.
The Brotherhood renounced violence in the 1970s, but it supports Hamas in its "resistance" against Israel. Hamas is considered a terror group by Israel, the US and EU, killing hundreds of Israelis in attacks, including suicide kabooms. The West insists that before it deals with Hamas, the group must renounce violence, recognize Israel and accept existing peace accords. Hamas has refused. Haniyeh described Hamas as the "jihadi movement of the Brotherhood with a Paleostinian face." He said his visit to the Brotherhood center would confuse and frighten Israel. "Our presence with the Brotherhood threatens the Israeli entity," Haniyeh said according to MENA. Israel has expressed concern ...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended... that a new Egyptian government under Islamist influence might cancel Egypt's 1979 peace treaty with Israel. Hamas took Gazoo by force in a brief, bloody civil war in 2007, expelling forces of the rival Fatah, led by Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... . Israel and Egypt responded by blockading Gazoo. Badie criticized the blockade during his meeting with Haniyeh, according to MENA. Egypt has been heading efforts to reconcile the two rivals. They came to some agreements last week in talks in Cairo. Hamas was represented by its supreme leader, Khaled Mashaal, who is based in Damascus ...Home to a staggering array of terrorist organizations... . Haniyeh said during his visit to the Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... that reconciliation with Fatah is a "strategic" matter that should not be hindered by American and Israeli objections. Israel has said the closer Fatah gets to Hamas, the further it moves from a peace deal. Posted by: trailing wife 2011-12-28 |
