Hamas vows to continue resistance

[oberliner]

Ismail Haniya, the de facto Hamas prime minister in Gaza, has vowed to continue his movement's "resistance and struggle" against Israel, as Hamas marked its 22nd anniversary.

Speaking to tens of thousands of supporters at a rally in Gaza City on Monday, Haniya said that Middle East peace talks had "failed".

"Negotiations have failed, and the negotiators said after 18 years that the result is zero," he told the crowd, who were dressed in the party's green and waving flags.

"We say today in the name of the Palestinian people ... Hamas will not go back on its line of resistance and struggle until it achieves for our people their freedom and independence, God willing."

What? No one believes Mr. Haniyeh when he says that resistance and struggle are the way, and that taking back Israel is the goal?

Peace is NOT the goal of Hamas!
