    Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh says the operation is “the continuation of the American oppression and shedding of blood of Muslims and Arabs.”

    Haniyeh told reporters in Gaza on Monday that although Hamas had its differences with al-Qaida, his group condemns the assassination of “a Muslim and Arabic warrior” and prays that bin Laden’s “soul rests in peace.”

    Hamas has repeatedly said it has no ties to al-Qaida and that its violent struggle is directed solely against Israel, and not the West at large.

    This statement should be enough for Obama to recognize the depth of evil that is Hamas. The response should be that NEVER will the United States engage in any form of support, directly or otherwise in any regime or government that involves this group. Anything less will simply tell the world that we should tolerate and placate forces of evil. Does Obama have the guts to say this, or will he be led by his liberal and socialist views to find a hechsher for these “militant” sentiments?

    “those who support terrorists are terrorists”
    the USA has a war on terror? or only on terrorists attacks on our country?
    if they ever got past Israel they would be right he shooting rockets at NYC.
    peace has no place when you are under attack
