GAZA CITY, MARCH 25: Even as Israeli PM Ariel Sharon tried to win US backing for his plan to disengage from the Palestinians by pledging to evacuate six West Bank settlements along with a comprehensive pullout from the Gaza strip, the top leaders of the radical Hamas movement went into hiding today as the three-day mourning period for their assassinated spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin came to a close.

The newly appointed chief for the occupied territories Abdel Aziz Rantissi, and political leaders Mahmud Al-Zahar and Ismail Haniya, had been receiving the condolences of thousands of Palestinians in a tent at a Gaza City soccer stadium in accordance with the Islamic tradition.

But today they had again gone to ground to avoid the same fate of Yassin, who was killed in an Israeli helicopter strike in Gaza on Monday. None of them could be contacted.

Meanwhile, Sharon’s chief of staff, Dov Weisglass, presented the proposals to Condoleezza Rice, US President George W. Bush’s National Security Advisor, during two days of talks in Washington, military radio reported.

1. How do you fight missiles, helicopters, US F-16s, tanks, and toxic spray

with rocks and homemade bombs? I think I would go into hiding too.

2. Or perhaps you might try to seek peace

Rather than pursue the route of Hamas -- i.e. killing innocent women and children.

3. Hamas uses terror and targeted murder of kids

Hardly a defense of the hamas use of bombs. They are cowards and terrorist scum. They have no defense.
