The Europeaser Union says it will "review Hamas status"
The EU urged Israel and the Palestinians Monday to stick to the "road map" peace plan, saying it would soon decide how to deal with the militant Palestinian group Hamas which has resumed attacks.but
There was no indication the EU was ready to put Hamas on its list of terrorist groups.The EU has placed Hamas' military wing on the list of terrorist groups, but not the rest of Hamas, which the Europeasers say runs "clinics and schools". Yes, but clinics that are used to repair injured terrorists, and clinics that are used as terrorist hideouts:
Israeli troops on Friday fired at three Palestinian fugitives hiding on the roof of a hospitalThe schools are used to train terrorists:
A second occupant [of the car full of terrorists that was destroyed in an Israeli attack Sunday], according to both Israeli and Palestinian sources was also a fairly senior Hamas operative; Palestinians identified him as Walid Alhumas and noted that he also chaired the Student Association at Gaza's Islamic University.The Europeasers are "divided" whether to add Hamas to the list of terrorist groups
France says that blacklisting Hamas will only make negotiations with the group impossible.Once can only imagine what sort of "negotiations" France is holding with Hamas. e.g.:
Sheikh Yassin: Our blan is to kill all the Jewish beoble by 2006.Posted by Stefan Sharkansky at August 25, 2003 10:36 AM
Dominique de Villepin: Perhaps you could kill only 'alf of ze Zhews by 2006 and ze ozer 'alf by 2009?
The French are hopeless. But have you noticed that Hamas leaders keep getting younger? The Al Aqsa terrorist killed at the hospital was 26. The NYT is reporting that Ahmed Shtewe, killed on the beach on Aug 24, is the chief operations officer of Hamas and he is only 24 years old. That says something good about the life-expectancy of terrorists.
