Thursday, April 24, 2008 Hamas: We'll stop rocket fire but not arms smuggling or development

[Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA: Question: Israel's "moderate peace partner"
Fatah leadership engaged in smuggling and developing weapons essentially
from the first day that PM Rabin launched the Oslo experiment. But they
rarely said for attribution that they were doing it.

Why does Hamas not just lie about it like their "moderate" brothers?

A. Because they don't care?
or
B. Because they see what a farce Israeli leadership is and they are
confident that Israel will tacitly accept their terms anyway.]

Ahead of Hamas's expected response to an Egyptian brokered ceasefire offer,
the group's spokesman in Gaza, Ayman Taha, said that it was prepared for a
gradual truce with Israel.

Taha told the Dubai-based Al-Arabiya news channel that the group will stop
rocket fire if Israel stops its "aggression" and lifts the blockade imposed
on the Strip.

Nevertheless, he said that Hamas would not stop arms smuggling or weapons
development.
