'Jews are our enemy. I will pull the trigger whenever required'

[Behind the Aegis]

Jamal Abu Samhadana had just been appointed chief of the Palestinian security services, but his supporters saw no reason to celebrate.

Instead of driving around the potholed streets firing their AK47s in the air, his advisers gathered in a tin-roofed hut in a remote part of the Gaza territory, safe - they hoped - from prying ears.

For now is a dangerous time to be the Palestinians' security supremo, and Abu Samhadana's allies know that even if the Israelis do not succeed in killing him, there are plenty of Palestinian rivals who might like to.

In his first interview with a British newspaper since his controversial appointment as Hamas's "iron glove" last week, Abu Samhadana, 43, revealed his ambitions for the paramilitary force under his control.

2. Both Israelies and Palestinians have a good...

... argument for their position but I don't see this kind of leadership solving the issue... It's going to take peace-loving rulers on both sides to somehow work this out but I really don't think that will happen anytime soon... Too much blood-shed on both sides... What a waste of beautiful, culture-rich people...

Especially in Gaza..They should however be concentrating on stopping the Kassams helping their people find food..
