August 19, 2005 All of Palestine

“Funding of Palestinian Propaganda by U.N. ‘Unacceptable,’ says John Bolton U.S. Permanent Representative to U.N.”

Hamas’s top official, Khaled Meshaal echoed the theme:

“Gaza is the first liberation, then comes the West Bank, then every inch of Palestinian land … We are not at the beginning of the road, and we have not and will not give up our weapons.  The battle is not over.”

Meshaal said this while standing in front of a poster reading, “Today Gaza, Tomorrow Jerusalem.”  Hamas’s embrace of the slogan reinforced the fear of Jewish and Israeli leaders that the message would undermine peace efforts and provoke more violence.
