| [IsraelTimes] Paleostinian leader Yasser Arafat allowed Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, to carry out terror attacks against Israel following the failure of the Camp David peace talks in July 2000, and transferred weapons to the Islamic terror group through a previously unknown organization in Gazoo, a senior Hamas official said. Mahmoud al-Zahar, a co-founder of Hamas and its former foreign minister, explained the historic background of reconciliation talks with Fatah in an interview with his movement?s Al-Aqsa TV channel on Sunday. Following six years of political persecution by the Paleostinian Authority beginning in 1994, he said, Yasser Arafat came to the conclusion that peace talks with Israel were futile, as negotiations brokered by US president Bill Clinton ...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of is... collapsed. Israel and Clinton later blamed Arafat for the failure of the talks, which were followed by the eruption of the Second Intifada and an onslaught of suicide kabooms on Israel. ?[Arafat] sent someone from the Preventive Security Agency to Sheikh Salah Shehadah who told him: ?I have no problem with Hamas carrying out operations,'? al-Zahar said. Shehadah was a Hamas terrorist leader killed by Israel in 2002 Later, a previously unknown gang emerged in Gazoo, calling itself the Omar Al-Mukhtar Forces. Hamas?s leadership was divided on how to treat the new group, he went on. Some believed that Omar Al-Mukhtar was linked with Israel, while others supported seizing the moment and carrying out joint attacks with the group or using its weapons for Hamas attacks. |
