Hamas wants to work with Fatah to fight Israel

Hamas leader Khaled Meshal said Thursday that Hamas and Fatah should unite and fight Israel rather than fighting each other.

Speaking at the end of a two-day conference in Qatar, Meshal, who is based in Damascus, said Hamas could close ranks with Fatah on the platform of "liberating Palestine, not recognizing Israel and adopting the path of Jihad and resistance."

The conference - a gathering of Islamic scholars to discuss the Palestinian question - issued a final statement supporting "the right of the Palestinian people ... to wage holy war to regain all their homeland and liberate their land from the river to the sea."

The phrasing means that the conference does not recognize the right of Israel to exist - a position at variance with Fatah.

...even more strange...that Ha'aretz combined two articles! When I posted this early this morning, it was as I posted, now it looks like i posted from the middle of the article and with the wrong title! I really hate when they do this! (rant off)

this place is filled with some real batshit crazy FAR left members. I have always considered myself a liberal. Almost everything Bush does I disagree with yet because I don't support the terrorists in Palestine I am a Freeper, a bigot, and a myriad of other derogatory names. Sometimes this site can be a little nuts. I thank God this extreme element within the party does not control the party.
