Hillary's Going Looking for Hamas Moderates

By Jeffrey Goldberg

Apr 30 2009, 12:46 PM ET Comment

From Laura Rozen:

SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, as you've heard from us in the last nearly 100 days we will not deal with Hamas unless they renounce violence, recognize Israel, and agree to abide by prior Palestinian Authority agreements. We do not in any way support the kind of extremists that you see. What we are looking for is to separate out those who are, as we found in Iraq, part of an armed campaign for political reasons that can be reconcilable.
Hmmm. The hunt for the Hamas moderate can be a frustrating one. As Bibi suggested, correctly, moderates in Hamas would leave Hamas because the organization is, at its core, jihadist and committed to the eradication of Israel as a Jewish state.
