On Hamas's Terms Now
(Newsday) Mohamad Bazzi - Khaled Mashaal, head of the Hamas political bureau, scoffed Saturday at international threats to stop aid to the Palestinians and vowed that the group would not give up its arms to appease the West. He said he was willing to engage the U.S. and Europe - but on the group's own terms. "We do not recognize Israel, but this does not mean that we ignore reality and that there will be no period of calm," he said.
