Now the British are talking to Hamas - by videoconference.....
First, they invited Hezbollah...and now this....
Hamas political bureau chief Khaled Meshal is to deliver an unprecedented videoconference address to a closed meeting of British MPs today. The Foreign Ministry is fuming over the event, which is going ahead despite pressure on senior British parliamentarians.Don't they know that Hamas is a genocidal organization?
The event was arranged by MP Clare Short, who was ejected from the Labor Party a few years ago by then-prime minister Tony Blair. Short recently led a delegation of British MPs to meet with Meshal in Damascus.
Short extended personal invitations about a week ago to dozens of MPs to attend the videoconference, to be broadcast to a meeting room in the MPs' office building. A large number of MPs are expected to attend.
The Israeli Embassy in London tried unsuccessfully to get pro-Israel MPs to exert pressure to cancel the event.
Israeli Ambassador Ron Prosor said Monday : "If Khaled Meshal would ask to enter the U.K., he would be denied, because the British government knows very well that Hamas is a terror organization. It is therefore a very serious matter when the British Parliament gets around this obstacle and opens its doors to a terror leader by means of a videoconference."

Don't they know that Hamas is a genocidal organization?In Palestine after WWII, the British ruling authority was abetting genocide so I'd say they don't really care what Hamas is.
My comment is not said lightly; the Brits were actively arranging for the Jews to lose the coming war in their nascent state. In fairness, there was a disconnection between the preached political philosophy and actions on the ground and it's not clear how far the deliberation reached. In a nutshell, there are many wonderful Brits but this did not stop the attempt to deny Jews a sanctuary 3 years after the Holocaust.
