Gaza hardliners poo-poo Annapolis

Not surprisingly, the NY Times is reporting that back in Gaza, Hamas think the peace talks in Maryland are total BS.

With the recent split in the Palestinian territories between Hamas and Fatah, it's in Palestinian President Abbas' (Fatah) best interest to make himself look like the leader of Palestine to the so-called Great Powers. (Because that's where his aid money comes from.) But for Hamas, it's in their best interest to hold the line against recognition of a Jewish state. (Because that's where their aid money comes from.)

    • Israeli and Palestinian leaders formally agreed at an international conference Tuesday to launch their first set of peace negotiations in seven years, but failed in tortuous private discussions to resolve key questions over the content and structure of the talks.

      As a result, a day that began with handshakes and hopes for peace ended with undispelled doubts over the prospect for success of the renewed effort to end decades of strife in the Middle East.
