Finally, someone Hamas may actually listen to!
Hamas leadership, along with leaders from most Arab nations, are meeting with the Chinese in Beijing for the Sino-Arab Cooperation Forum. Leading up to this meeting of arrogant and intolerant cultures, the Chinese have called upon Hamas to renounce violence, recognize Israel, and accept previously-reached Israeli-Palestinian agreements.
Wow.
Hamas has shown complete disdain for just about everyone else who has made similar statements, which is literally just about everyone else. The Chinese have a way of making a point that's a little more emphatic, shall we say, than those made by Western democracies. One of the benefits of dictatorship - it's a lot easier to bring the entire power of a government to bear.
At any rate, it will be interesting to see what level of influence China has with the Arabs. Privately, I suspect the terms "infidel" and "barbarian" are thrown around a fair amount, but these two parties ignore or insult each other at their peril.
