UN Relief Chief Martin Griffiths claims that Hamas is not a terrorist group. It's a political movement.
Israel slams top UN aid official who said Hamas not a terror group
Foreign Minister Israel Katz blasts UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths for saying in a Sky News interview that “Hamas is not a terrorist group. For us, of course, as you know, it’s a political movement.”
Griffiths made the comments in response to a question about whether Israel’s insistence that Hamas never be part of future government is realistic.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
