#3 First things first:

Freed Hamas leader shuns open discussion of terror tactics

There, fixed that.

But Arouri, 40, insisted that Hamas's rise to the forefront of Palestinian politics, triggered by its election victory last year, signalled a shift away from violence...

Which certainly explains the following excerpts from Hamas' charter:

"Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it."

"There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors."

I know, details, mere details.

...in favour of political process and the attempt to establish a Palestinian state on the West Bank and Gaza Strip. He also admitted that the campaign of bomb attacks against Israeli civilians had harmed the Palestinians' cause, and expressed hope that it would end."

Considering how, when Palestinian fatalities are compared to Israeli losses, there is a consistent ratio of, at minimum, 2:1 that sometimes increases to 6:1; Yes, I'd certainly say that "the campaign of bomb attacks against Israeli civilians had harmed the Palestinians' cause".

"We are harmed if we target civilians," he said,

Not nearly enough, but let's gloss over that for now, shall we?

... adding that political progress would be easier if Israel would also show restraint.

And the winner for "Grossest Understatement in a Jihad Supporting Role" is ...

"At the end of the day, the fruit of military actions is political action," he said. "All wars end with truces and negotiations."

He neglected to mention another unhappy ending, called "Unconditional Surrender". That's where my money is.
