Iran warns Hamas against any ‘compromise’ with Israel
2012-02-12
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned Palestinian movement Hamas against any “compromise” in its fight against Tehran’s nemesis Israel, his official website reported.

“Always be wary of infiltration by compromisers in a resistance organisation, which will gradually weaken it,” Khamenei told the visiting Hamas Gaza prime minister Ismail Haniya, according to the leader.ir website.

“We have no doubt about your resistance and that of many of your brothers, and the people only have this expectation of you,” said Khamenei, reaffirming that Iran “will always be alongside the Palestinian resistance”.

KhameneiÂ’s comments come as divisions within Hamas have emerged on a possible overhaul of the organisationÂ’s strategy. Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal signed an agreement with Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas earlier this month placing Abbas at the head of an interim government charged with organising elections later this year.

The agreement struck by MeshaalÂ’s foreign-based leadership with AbbasÂ’ Fatah faction has run into serious opposition from Hamas members inside the Gaza Strip, which the movement has controlled since ousting the presidentÂ’s loyalists in 2007.

#2  'Tis an "Islamic" + OWG Caliphate issue.

* OTOH TOPIX > ARAB LEAGUE WANTS UN FORCE IN SYRIA.

Once again, an underlying premise of so-called "Islamic Union" was ARAB-MUSLIM SPECIFIC NON-RELIANCE OR NON-DEPENDENCY ON THE NON-MUSLIM JUDEOCHRISTIAN US-NATO/WEST, ESPEC AS PER UN-APPROVED "POLICE ACTIONS/PEACEKEEPING" INVOL MUSLIM STATES.

Syria now appears to be another in the long line of post-Mubarak = "Arab Spring", "dropped balls" by the AL.

Iff I'm wrong as per AL = Arab-Muslim "unilateralism", I do not see it in the MSM-Net.

#1  What keeps happening to that Sunni v. Shiite split I keep hearing about? Always seems to get forgotten when a third party is involved don't it?
