    Striking a defiant tone, he said Wednesday that Gaza is fighting an occupying force and that the Palestinians are “the true owners of the land.”

    He says Hamas cannot abandon its terms in a cease-fire agreement, and can accept a humanitarian truce that is supported by a genuine relief program for the besieged Gaza Strip.

    Meshaal, spoke from exile to reporters in Qatar, Doha.

    Israeli troops battled Hamas militants on Wednesday near a southern Gaza Strip town as the top U.S. diplomat reported progress in efforts to end fighting that has so far killed more than 680 Palestinians and 34 Israelis.

    Khaled – why don’t you get back on your exercise bike while your people allow themselves to be used by Hamas?

    well the man has spoken…
    I think it is time to bring the true wrath on, so that his oppressed people kick his and his cronies – you know what – out of Gaza.

    Notice he is sipping a (non-alcoholic) margarita in a luxury villa while his people are being clobbered. I would think his people would want the Mofaz buy out rather than war…

    No one had better dare call on Israel to reward this vile terror group by giving in to their demands! There should be no negotiations with terrorists. Wipe them off the face of the earth!
