Hamas is asking its Iranian masters for permission to kill more Jews.
Hamas has asked Iran to allow the organization to escalate its altercations with Israel, carry out more suicide attacks and if need be – threaten kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit with execution, Kuwait’s Al-Jarida newspaper reported Friday.
The report, citing senior Hamas officials, Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashaal recently met with a senior Iranian intelligence official, who accompanied Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on his visit to Qatar last week.
The two reportedly discussed Hamas’ retaliation to a possible large-scale IDF operation in Gaza, which may leave Hamas debilitated.
Mashaal, said the report, told the Iranians Hamas will need their political support, as well as Iran and Syria’s go-ahead to carry out a series of major attacks on Israel.
Oh, and Hamas wants permission to carry out more war crimes.
Al-Jarida further reported that Mashaal told the Iranians Hamas wants to kidnap more Israeli soldiers, as well as threaten Gilad Shalit’s well-being in order to “stir Israeli public opinion, pressure Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and hinder the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.”
Once again, let me point out, that a substantial number of politicians in the EU and UN think that Israel should deal with Hamas as a negotiating partner.
The wages of Annapolis just keep on paying off. Let’s be thankful that the Israeli security forces are as good as they are. But remember, they can’t stop 100% of the attacks. Hamas would absolutely love to see the pressure against Israeli checkpoints pay off. That would make this job a whole lot easier.

It is high time to take the fight to them. Stop being reactive and resume a proactive stance.
Bradley Burston of Haaretz also believes Israel should negotiate with Hamas.
Negotiate from the muzzle of a rifle.
