and people wonder why you dont trust Hamas

The chief of Hamas said Saturday that the Palestinian militant group would
accept an Egyptian proposal for a cease-fire with Israel but it would be a
"tactic" in the group's struggle with the Jewish state.

Khaled Mashaal, the Damascus-based Hamas leader, said in an interview with
Al-Jazeera television that Egypt had proposed a six-month truce between the
Hamas rulers of Gaza and Israel. He said his group was ready to cooperate
but added: "It is a tactic in conducting the struggle ... It is normal for
any resistance ... to sometimes escalate, other times retreat a bit. ...
Hamas is known for that. In 2003, there was a cease-fire and then the
operations were resumed."
