In their own words...

A Hamas Hardliner

Hamas' foreign minister, Mahmoud Zahhar [said] he would not "accept the reality" of Israel, looking ahead to a distant future when, "like your European Union," the Arab nation will form one state across its historic lands, joining up with other Muslim nations such as Turkey.

"We [Palestinians] were never an independent state in history," he notes. "We were part of an Arab state and an Islamic state."
