Hamas' Hard Line
(Los Angeles Times) Editorial - If you were hoping that Hamas might be persuaded to support a two-state solution, the message this month of Khaled Meshaal, the top leader of Hamas, was: Forget it. He, at least, will apparently not be satisfied with a West Bank and Gaza state, and continues to insist that all of Israel belongs to the Palestinians. That's outrageous, irresponsible and deeply depressing, even from the leader of a well-known terrorist organization, because Hamas is not just a militant fringe group but actually runs Gaza and has significant support among Palestinians.
