The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a leading Jewish human rights organization expressed its shock and deep disappointment that the Obama Administration has declared it will work with the new hybrid Palestinian Authority-Hamas government.

Today, no one in the Middle East believes this is anything but a victory for Hamas, a terrorist organization that has consistently shown through words and deadly actions that it has not backed away from its founding charter seeking the Jewish State's destruction," said Rabbis Marvin Hier and Abraham Cooper, dean and founder and associate dean of the human rights NGO.
"There is no fig leaf large enough to cover Hamas' blood-drenched legacy. No Israeli leader, left, right, or center, would ever agree to a Palestinian State as its immediate neighbor that includes lackeys of the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran, who have lobbed thousands of rockets at Israeli population centers and unleashed suicide bombers murdering and maiming innocent men women and children in Israel," they added.

Then you attributed words to the SWC that they never said.
I think the USA needs to remain consistent in its positions. They declared Hamas a terror organization years ago and have in the past stated that Hamas needs to recognize Israel, renounce terror, and commit to past agreements. Seems things have changed, or the USA is fooling itself into thinking Hamas technocrats are harmless.
