    PA asks EU to blacklist Hamas

    from Haaretz:

    "Representatives of Palestinian Authority Prime
    Minister Mahmoud Abbas recently made an urgent
    request to the European Union that it blacklist
    Hamas as a terror organization in order to put
    additional pressure on the militant group to
    accept a cease-fire with Israel, Israel Radio
    reported Tuesday citing Palestinian sources.

    Although the PA denied the
    report, EU sources confirmed
    that such a request had been
    made. "


    I wonder if the EU will follow through?

          Let me guess. The fact that they have "blacklisted" the organization means that they are providing a small bit of thier funding, right?

                Not that any of it would help, of course. I hate politicians so much...

                    The military wing of Hamas is on the lists (Hamas-Izz al-Din al-Qassem), Hamas as a political organisation is not.

                    As for the reasons, good question....

                        IIUC, UK has already called for blacklisting of political wing of Hamas - funding is fungible, etc. France has opposed. They say its cause the political wing is a player that should not be excluded from diplomacy - Some here think its just cause the French want to throw a monkey wrench (IE a deliberate obstacle) into US diplomacy in the region - a peace between Israel and the PA would benefit the US in a number of places, whereas continued violence is a difficulty to the "hyperpower". Now Im not saying I agreee with that, but with Abbas calling for the blacklist (even if not publicly) its hard to see how they can avoid changing position.
