Hamas wants us silenced

The Muslim Brotherhood’s English website has published a statement by Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri in which he tried to justify the attacks on the Egyptian soldiers on the boarders with Gaza by saying: “what happened was as a result of an asphyxiating state suffered by one and a half million people in Gaza”

He went on to say: “that those who overstated the attacks on Egyptian soldiers did not talk about the position of Dr Mahmoud Al-Zahhar who went to apologize to the Egyptian officers and the Hamas delegation who handed gifts to the Egyptian security men.”

Now I fail to understand how one can overstate an attack on Egypt, its soldiers and boarders, but it seems that Hamas has another definition of the word attack.

This is all expected from a Hamas spokesman, but the real funny part came at the end of his statement when he said that: “The spokesman called on the Egyptian leadership to silence the "poisonous" voices that cause bitterness and pain to the Palestinian people.”

Now I don’t know how Mr. Abu Zuhri wants us silenced, but one can have images from the Hamas takeover of Gaza last summer to understand Hamas’s definition of silencing people.
