Today, from Reuters :
Hamas says will step up attacks if Israel hits Iran
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Palestinian militant group Hamas will step up its attacks on Israeli targets if the Jewish state attacks its key ally in the region, Iran, Hamas chief-in-exile Khaled Meshaal said on Thursday.
"If Israel attacks Iran then Hamas will widen and increase its confrontation of Israelis inside Palestine," Meshaal told reporters in Tehran, where he has held three days of talks with top political and security officials.
Yet just last Friday, Reuters reported:
Hamas chief says truce with Israel is over
DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Palestinian group Hamas chief-in-exile Khaled Mishaal said on Friday a nine-month truce with
Israel was over."There is no room for truce. I say to our brothers in the (Palestinian) Authority that we are witnessing political stagnation...," Mishaal told a rally in the Syrian capital Damascus. "I say it loudly, we will not enter a new truce and our people are preparing for a new round of conflict."
So if Israel strikes Iran (whose President has stated he wants to destroy Israel), Hamas will step up attacks, which would be a major change from its previous policy, of ... stepping up attacks. In other words, there would be no change in policy at all. Hamas just wants to be able to blame its repulsive homicide bombings of women and children on Israel, so it makes this statement, knowing that Western MSM will be happy to report it without saying one word about its hypocrisy.
