GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - A top Hamas leader says the Gaza war has killed the last chance for settlement and negotiations with Israel.

Damascus-based Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal condemned Israel's attack on the Gaza Strip as a "holocaust" in a fiery speech broadcast on the Arabic news channel Al-Jazeera

Mashaal's comments Saturday come as Hamas teams are in Cairo to negotiate over an Egyptian-proposed cease-fire to end Israeli attacks on the militant organization that rules Gaza.

Mashaal also called for an end to Israeli attacks, the removal of its forces from Gaza, and a lifting of the Gaza blockade.

Clearly both sides are to blame. They're religious lunatics. Let the Israelis fight their own battle - they're clearly capable of it. I don't like our tax money funding their strategic brutality, proliferating only more hatred for our country. (Continued…)
