THE PALESTINIANS, THE LEBANESE AND THE BLAIR CIRCUS

SHAME ON HAMAS!

The Lebanese showed more guts and were more principled in their opposition to Blair than the Palestinians. Only a handful of protestors protested in Ramallah while thousands of angry protestors gathered in Beirut. Hizbullah deputies and Nabih Berri from Amal refused to meet with Blair and the country's most senior Shiite cleric blasted Blair and exposed him as the war criminal that he is. By contrast, Ismail Haniyeh published an article in the British Guardian, reproaching Blair for refusing to meet with him! What a contrast! In addition, Hamas refused to add its name to a list of Palestinian leaders and intellectuals who opposed the Blair visit and told him not to come. What a difference between Hamas and Hizbullah! I take my hat off for Hizbullah, but I can't do the same for Hamas. Shame on Hamas!
