Hamas Political Bureau Head Khaled Mash'al said:  "We must combine resistance with diplomacy"

In a June 25, 2009 speech, Hamas political bureau head Khaled Mash'al focused mainly on the recent speeches by U.S. President Barack Obama and Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu, and on the intra-Palestinian reconciliation talks. About Obama, Mash'al said that the U.S. had changed its tone vis-à-vis the Middle East, but that the change must be expressed in deeds, not words. Responding to Netanyahu's speech, Mash'al rejected the conditions set by the Israeli prime minister, adding that the Palestinians must be wary of the danger of recognizing Israel as a Jewish state. He clarified that his movement had agreed to the establishment of a Palestinian state within the June 4, 1967 borders, but that it insisted on the right of return, and rejected alternatives such as naturalizing Palestinian refugees in their countries of residence or regarding Jordan as the Palestinian homeland. Mash'al also rejected the notion of a demilitarized Palestinian state, and said that resistance was a strategy for liberating the homeland and restoring the Palestinians' rights.  (continue at MEMRI)

Yep, mix in a little fake diplomacy with the bomb-making, self-defense, wireless communications, camouflage and Islamic indoctrination ...  Look out Israel.

In other words, they have not and will not abandon their aspirations to wipe Israel off the map. If only some in the western world would let that into their thick skulls.
