Azzam Tamimi responds to Lord David Trimble’s take on Hamas/IRA comparisons:
Hamas has gained the trust of the Palestinians principally because it refuses to extinguish the hope that one day Zionist colonisation of Palestine will be no more. Here, at least, is one parallel: the IRA too never agreed to give up the dream that one day Northern Ireland will be reunited with the republic.
What does this say about Tamimi’s dreams?
