Netanyahu Slams "Hamastan," Iran at Israeli Flotilla Probe
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, appearing Monday before the Turkel committee probing the flotilla incident of May 31, said that in order to deal with the incident it was necessary to clarify the government's policy toward Hamas. Over the last decade Hamas has increasingly received aid from Iran "which also calls to erase Israel from the map," and has essentially turned the area into "Hamastan." "Iran provided Hamas with thousands of rockets, missiles and other arms" which were used, and are still being used, against Israel, he said. "Hamas is in violation of at least four war crimes: The call for genocide, directed fire at civilians, the use of civilians as human shields, and preventing the Red Cross from visiting kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit."
