HAMAS SPOKESMAN: 'I Have Jewish Friends'

Hamas spokesman Osama Hamdan employed a novel defense against accusations of anti-Semitism in an interview with CNN on Monday evening.

"I have Jewish friends," Hamdan declared.

Hamdan made the argument after host Wolf Blitzer confronted him about inflammatory comments he allegedly made about Jews during Hamas' ongoing battles with the Israeli government.

about as much as when I hear a politician claiming that "They have black friends" or "they have gay friends".
