Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on Sunday the Islamist group Hamas could have avoided the Israeli attacks on Gaza.
"We talked to them and we told them 'please, we ask you, do not end the truce. Let the truce continue and not stop' so that we could have avoided what happened," he said in Cairo.

Full Story

In a joint press conference with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Abbas said he wanted to protect the Gaza Strip. "We want to protect the Gaza Strip and we don't want it to be destroyed."

The Palestinian president added that he was interested in "returning to dialogue as soon as possible."

Last week in a press conference with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Abbas said, "We cannot agree to an invasion of Gaza, or even an aerial attack."

Abbas also spoke out against the ongoing rocket attacks on Israel from the Strip, saying, "We are against the rocket attacks that we call acts of foolishness."

Yep Hamas is a loose cannon... but then again that is why Israel helped create it, to derail any progress made by the secular PLO and give Palestinians and Muslims a barbaric image.

I'm sure you have the proof to backup your claim right?

Sure, I'll let Ehud Olmert tell it to you....
In a statement to the Israeli Parliament's (the Knesset) Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday February 12th 2007, Israeli Prime minister Ehud Olmert said "Netanyahu established Hamas, gave it life, freed Sheikh Yassin and gave him the opportunity to blossom"

yet you fail to add (from YOUR same source):

At that time, Hamas's focus was on "religious and social work". The grassroots movement concentrated on social issues such as exposing corruption, administration of waqf (trusts) and organizing community projects.

So because as you claim Israel created Hamas, they (Hamas) are now free to engage in terrorist acts like firing rockets into neighbouring states? :rolleyes:
