Hamas: State in '67 Borders a "Temporary" Solution:

Ismail Haniya, the top candidate on the Hamas list for the Palestinian parliamentary elections, said Sunday that Hamas supports only as a temporary solution the establishment of a Palestinian state along the 1967 borders and with Jerusalem as its capital. Haniya emphasized that Hamas does not recognize the existence of the State of Israel and maintains its vision of establishing a Palestinian state throughout all of the area west of the Jordan River. He also reiterated that there is no chance that Hamas would voluntarily disarm as long as Israel exists, Israel Radio reported. (Jerusalem Post)

Thanassis Cambanis (Boston Globe) - With a veil revealing only her eyes, Alaa Awdeh sounds like the ultimate feminist.

Women, she believes, should have equal rights in Palestinian society, especially the right to die in the armed struggle against Israel.

"That's what I am looking for, to sacrifice my life," said Awdeh, 18, an Islamic studies major at Al Najah University in Nablus and enthusiastic member of the youth wing of Hamas.
