France Admits To Having Met With Hamas

Just about the time you start to think there is hope for the French...they fall back into their old behavior. The French had to come out and admit that they have had meetings with Hamas after one of their negotiators opened his trap about it. Here's a bit from the article over at Breitbart:

France said on Monday it had held talks with Hamas, in an apparent softening of its support for the U.S.-led policy of isolating the Palestinian Islamist group that seized control of the Gaza Strip last year.
Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner confirmed a report in the French daily Le Figaro quoting a retired ambassador who it said had met senior Hamas officials about a month ago.
"It would be difficult to deny it since the man who is in touch with them has spoken," Kouchner told Europe 1 radio.
"Having contacts is necessary. We had some before the invasion of Gaza."

Yeah, right...let me ask a question...WHY is "having contacts necessary" ??? Is it necessary to have contact with bin Laden? Is it necessary to have talks with every terrorist group in the world that threatens to blow your country up?

Now, look at this statement from this French putz:

"They said they were prepared to stop suicide attacks and what surprised me was that the Islamist leaders recognize the legitimacy of Mahmoud Abbas," he said.
"In all the offices I went to, his picture hung next to those of Hamas officials," he added.

Unbelievable. How naive can someone be?!! Perhaps the French need to be reminded of:

1. These are the same Hamas that faked power outages in schools and in their legislative body and took pictures of the fake for the world press.

2. These are the same Hamas that grabbed more power in Gaza by killing Abbas' security teams.

3. These are the same Hamas that fire rockets into Israeli homes and farms and then celebrate the killing of innocent Israeli citizens.

Do you suppose that Hamas put the pictures up of Abbas JUST BEFORE your bloody visit, you moron? I cannot believe the stupidity of the West. The jihadis must laugh their asses off at these ding dongs after they leave.

Well, apparently the French have confirmed the same thing that Dhimmi Carter did...that if you, as a terrorist organization, kill as many innocent people as possible you can get a place on the world stage and be granted credibility. Clean up your act, Sarkozy.

France says its envoy held talks with Hamas

The move could annoy Washington, which was irritated by former U.S. president Jimmy Carter's meeting in April with Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal.
U.S.-brokered peace talks between Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert have made little tangible progress, and few observers expect them to reach a deal by the end of the year as planned.
Kouchner played down the talks between France and Hamas.
"They are not relations. They are contacts," he said.
"We have to be able to speak to each other if we want to play a role, if we want our emissaries to go to Gaza, firstly. But the real discussion is between Palestinians. We have always said that."
France's envoy, former ambassador Yves Aubin de La Messuziere, told Le Figaro that Hamas officials had repeated to him Meshaal's offer of a long-term accommodation with the Jewish state in its pre-1967 war borders.
Le Figaro said the Hamas leaders he had met included Ismail Haniyeh and Mahmoud al-Zahar.
"They said they were prepared to stop suicide attacks and what surprised me was that the Islamist leaders recognize the legitimacy of Mahmoud Abbas," he said.
"In all the offices I went to, his picture hung next to those of Hamas officials," he added.
Last month, Israel dismissed a Hamas proposal for a six-month Gaza Strip truce during which an embargo on the territory would be lifted.
