One thing you must admit about Hamas: they’re relatively up-front and honest, as murderous terrorist gangs go. Hamas says won’t arrest militants behind attacks.
GAZA (Reuters) - Incoming Palestinian interior minister Saeed Seyam, chosen by Hamas to oversee three security services, said on Thursday he will not order the arrest of militants carrying out attacks against Israel.
“The day will never come when any Palestinian would be arrested because of his political affiliation or because of resisting the occupation,” Seyam told Reuters in an interview. “The file of political detention must be closed.” …
As well as vowing not to arrest militants for carrying out attacks against Israel, Seyam said Hamas would try to coordinate militants’ operations.
“Talks with the factions in the future will focus on the mechanisms, the shape and the timing (of any attacks),” he said. “But the right to defend our people and to confront the aggression is granted and is legitimate.” …
Seyam said maintaining law and order would be a top priority.
“Law and order.” I do not think those words mean what you think they mean.
