Adib S Kawar – Gerald Kaufman's speech, good but somewhat inaccurate
By Adib Kawar • Jan 21st, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Biography, Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Features, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Religion, Resistance, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, War, ZionismI, as a secularist could disagree with Hamas in adopting religious ideology, but Hamas, besides being a resistance organization that was, as Sir Gerald said in his parliamentary speech, "democratically elected", yes it won the elections with a majority of 74% of the Palestinian voters in a clean elections campaign that chose its administrators. Hamas is a resistance organization that is practicing its internationally recognized right in confronting Zionist occupation, which Sir Gerald approves of, as we conclude from his speech.
