'For the first time, we feel we have a friend in the White House." This is what a Palestinian Authority official in Ramallah had to say this week, after listening to US President Barack Obama's address to Arabs and Muslims from Cairo. ...
For some Palestinians, Obama may even turn out to be better than most of the Arab and Muslim leaders. As one woman in Ramallah put it, "When I heard Obama speaking [from Cairo], I felt as if I were listening to the head of an Arab or Islamic state. He's really a great man." ...
Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal heaped praise on him, because he had refrained from calling "resistance attacks" against Israel "terrorism.".....
"Obama is talking in a new language, one that is different from the voice we used to hear from the previous US administration," Mashaal said in an interview with the Palestinian daily Al-Kuds. "Obama avoided branding our resistance operations terrorism, but he made a mistake when he compared the situation of the Palestinians to that of blacks in America."
FATAH AND Hamas appear to differ on almost everything - except when it comes to Obama. Both parties are pinning high hopes on the new American administration.Get the article.
