HAMAS BEGS WORLD TO SEND ARMS, FIGHTERS AND MONEY TO FIGHT ISRAEL

Hamas wants backers to send arms, fighters, money
DOHA, May 10 (Reuters) - Palestinian militant group Hamas urged supporters around the world on Wednesday to send it arms, fighters and money to back its fight against arch-foe Israel. “We ask all the people in surrounding Arab countries, the Muslim world and everyone who wants to support us to send weapons, money and men,” Hamas political leader Khaled Meshaal said in a speech at a pro-Palestinian event in Qatar.

“You should not shy away from of this. This is resistance, not terrorism,” said Meshaal whose group — sworn to the destruction of Israel — leads the Palestinian government.
