Hamas' Dilemma
(Ottawa Citizen-Canada) Editorial - Hamas cannot be both a terrorist gang and a governing party. Its election gave it a tiny thread of legitimacy, but that will snap if it does not renounce violence. The Hamas leadership should have denounced the raid on an Israeli army outpost and cut itself off from the militants. This crisis will not convince the international community to deal with the Hamas government. As long as that government refuses to recognize Israel and to cut itself off from its military wing, it is in a posture of war.
