Hamas charter is like Mein Kampf

From Ynet News 18/2/06 by Anat Barshkovsky ...

Former Shin Bet chief and Kadima Knesset candidate Avi Dichter on Saturday compared Hamas' charter to Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, warning of Israeli complacency towards the Islamic group.

Speaking in Lehavim in southern Israel Dichter said: “... The charter is not only against Israel, but against the Jewish people. ...The charter is fundamentally anti-Jewish, exactly like Hitler’s Mein Kampf.”

Dichter added: “Israel warned clearly that Hamas is tainting the Palestinian Authority with the colors of terror. ...” ...Hamas “set the agenda in the Palestinian Authority, and the Gaza Strip in particular, back in 2001. Neither (Yasser) Arafat nor Mahmoud Abbas dared to face them. The last person to be murdered by Hamas was Moussa Arafat, Arafat’s relative, and although the identity of the murderers is known nothing has been done...Had Arafat decided to fight terror he would have been capable to do so.....”

... Dichter ... concluded by explaining his decision to join Kadima: “.... I came to politics to help Israel set its borders.”
