Obama's Israel Speech Draws Fire From Hamas And The Palestinian Authority

Hamas called it US hostility towards Arabs and Muslims.

“We consider the statements of Obama to be further evidence of the hostility of the American administration to Arabs and Muslims,” said Sami Abu Zuhri, the spokesman for Hamas.

“We reject these words,” said Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas. Abbas added: “Jerusalem is one of the files under negotiation. The entire world knows perfectly well that we will never accept a state without (east) Jerusalem (as its capital). That should be clear.”


Do you remember the statement that John McCain brought up a couple of weeks ago? He said something along the lines that Hamas endorses Obama for President? Well, there goes that talking point!
