Meshaal: An Explosion is Coming

By Jeffrey Goldberg

Apr 23 2009, 9:22 AM ET Comment

In a speech to British members of Parliament, Hamas Politburo chief Khaled Meshaal said that "resistance" was just "a means to an end" -- though he didn't appear to mention to the MPs that the end Hamas yearned for was the destruction of Israel -- and he looked forward to finding a different way to end the occupation. He also threatened an "an explosion in the region" if Hamas didn't get what it wanted.

But no doubt Hamas is secretly moderating its views on the Jewish right to self-determination.
