On Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal published an editorial on the new friends of Hamas. Russia and Venezuela are greeting them with open arms, and their decisions have been embraced by Spain and France.
The Journal expects "other countries to follow suit in this tacit legitimization of Hamas, thereby 'isolating' the Bush Administration, which refuses to deal with the group." While we expect nations like Venezuela and Iran to stand with Hamas, we remain disappointed in Russia for reaching out to them, and with Spain and France for providing support.
