Hamas' Haniyeh slams Abbas over UN bid
Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh came out against the Palestinian campaign to achieve UN recognition on Sunday describing the move as a "political adventure which does not reflect national or Arab consensus."

<snip>

Earlier on Sunday, Hamas official Khalil al-Haya expressed hope that the UN will recognize a Palestinian state not only on 1967 borders but on the whole of the State of Israel's territory.

"Recognition should be sought for the entirety of the Palestinian territory, and the Palestinian right to live within this country's borders acknowledged. We ask the UN to annul the entity that decided to settle on the land of others."

1. I'd be thinking it's not often that Hamas and the current Israeli govt are in the same corner n/t

2. It happens more often than you might think

It's like the overlap between Pat Buchanan and Ali Abuminah.

3. Yeah, yr probably right. They've both got things in common between them...
That they're both opposed to Palestinian statehood should give pause to anyone believing that Palestinian statehood is a bad thing for either Israel or Palestine....

4. I don't think it bodes particularly well
I do have some concern (a favorite DU word, I know) with respect to what may unfold in the coming weeks considering the opposition to this move by the Hamas government in Gaza and the Israeli government in Israel.
