Proceeding contribution from John Baron (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on UK Policy on the Middle East.
UK Policy on the Middle East
In congratulating my hon. Friend on his appointment, I refer him to the proverb, "To every man with a hammer, the problem always seems a nail." Will he do what he can, and get his Department on board, to try to impress on the Israelis the fact that Hamas is more than just a terrorist organisation? It is an idea—a frustration—borne out of many disillusioned and disfranchised Palestinians, and the best way of defeating an idea is not by using force but by coming up with a better idea, such as an equitable, two-state solution.
