Hamas leader: No such thing as Palestinians - we are just Arabs

Hamas Minister of Interior and PA Parliament Member Fathi Hammad: "Every Palestinian in Gaza or in any place in Palestine can show he has Arab roots, whether from Saudi Arabia or Yemen or anywhere...  Personally, half of my family is Egyptian. There are more than 30 families named Al-Masri (i.e., Egyptian). Our origins are half and half: half Egyptian and half Saudi. Who are the Palestinians? … They may be from Alexandria, Cairo, Domyat, the North, Aswan, Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians, we are Arabs, we are Muslims.
