Zahar: Israel must change its flag
By HERB KEINON AND JPOST STAFF

A senior Hamas leader indicated Sunday that his group's landslide victory in
Palestinian legislative elections changed little in its stance toward Israel.
Mahmoud Zahar's comments came after Minister Shaul Mofaz said in Sunday's
cabinet meeting that Hamas was, at this point, acting "responsibly," and added
that he believed that the organization would soon attempt to rein in terror.

Asked if a Hamas-led Palestinian government would accept Israel's right to
exist, Mahmoud Zahar of the Gaza Strip told CNN's "Late Edition": "The question
should be answered first by Israel, because they are not accepting us, except
as minority, not the owner of the land."

Among his several conditions he placed on israel was an outrageous request that
it change its flag. "Israel must remove the two Blue stripes from its National
flag", said Zahar. " The stripes on the flag are symbols of occupation. They
signify Israel's borders stretching from the River Euphrates to the River
Nile."

Zahar was also asked if Hamas, which America views as a terrorist organization,
would renounce terrorism.

"What is the international definition of terrorism?" he responded. "When
(Israeli forces) attack houses by F-16, just when they are using helicopters,
when they are killing people and children and removing our agriculture system,
this is terrorism."

Zahar said Hamas planned to work with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, also
called Abu Mazen. Abbas leads the Fatah Party; he was elected to a four-year
term last year and remains in power.

"We are going to cooperate with Abu Mazen, according to the Palestinian
national interests, to help the Palestinian people to live as in a purified
system, to fight against corruption," he said.

US President George W. Bush said Friday that the United States would cut
millions of dollars in aid to the Palestinian government unless Hamas abolishes
the militant arm of its party and stops calling for the destruction of Israel.

Zahar said Sunday that "we are looking for this money, but this money should
not be conditioned."
