According to Charlie Rangel Hamas is just like the Tea Party.
Via Truth Revolt:
Hamas, the terrorist group whose presence in the Palestinian Authority government was legitimized by the support of the United States and other Western countries, has a message for world leaders such as Barack Obama and John Kerry. The kidnapping of the three boys “will mark the beginning of an intifada, be the consequences what they may,” and “The PA’s attempts to gain an achievement by helping the occupation locate the hostages spells the beginning of its end and its ejection by the people.”
The terrorist group’s reaction to last Thursday’s kidnapping of three Israeli youths was to praise and celebrate the abduction. Hamas leadership and supporters have called the abduction a legitimate action and an opportunity to expand armed operations to the West Bank, as demonstrated by these translated quotes from MEMRI.
