Hamas: Gaza Pullout is Victory for Intifada
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - "The painful and qualitative blows which the Palestinian resistance dealt to the Jews and their soldiers over the past four-and-a-half years led to the decision to withdraw from the Gaza Strip," Ahmed al-Bahar, a top Hamas leader in Gaza, told reporters. Bahar said the disengagement plan should be seen as a major and strategic victory for the Palestinians. "The withdrawal marks the end of the Zionist dream and is a sign of the moral and psychological decline of the Jewish state. We believe that the resistance is the only way to pressure the Jews," he said.
