LA Times has an interview with convicted Hamas terrorist Hassan Salameh who organized suicide bombing attacking in 1996. He sums up his goal as: As for the peace process, I personally am against it. It entails recognition of Israel, and that runs counter to Islam and Hamas. Even if [the Israelis] were to withdraw to the 1967 lines, give us Jerusalem and the right of return, we should not recognize Israel. All of Palestine, from the sea to the river, must constitute the Islamic Palestinian State. So much for settlements being the problem. 12:42:59 PM
