Abdel-Elah Atira: I don't want to defend the Oslo Accords, but these accords brought in 850,000 Palestinians, who are now living in the West Bank and Gaza. What has [Hamas] done for the Palestinian cause? [This] 850,000 equals the number of Palestinians who were driven out in 1948. [Hamas] is part of the Legislative Council, which is based on those accords… This figure equals the number of people who left in 1948.
