This is not a condemnation by Hamas

The AP is sending out a story that says Hamas is condemning rocket fire from Gaza.

This is not a condemnation.

“Regarding the report about rockets fired from Gaza, we emphasize that these rockets have no link to any of the Palestinian resistance groups and are being fired at the wrong time,” the Hamas-controlled Interior Ministry said. “We emphasize also that the security agencies are following who are behind such acts.”

This is a statement that the timing of the rocketeers is off. Hamas wants them to stop firing rockets until after their terrorists are released for Gilad Shalit—or for his remains.

As to the claim that Hamas doesn’t know who’s behind the rocket fire—bullshit. Terrorists don’t scratch their asses in Gaza without explicit permission from Hamas.

The AP simply can’t help spinning for terrorists anymore.
