What Threat?
The Nov. 12 issue of the Economist contained an article, entitled "The Hamas conundrum," which stated:
Such is Israelis' horror of Hamas that even the liberal Haaretz headlined the interview [with Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar] "We will kidnap more Israelis is prisoners are not released", though Dr Zahar had not actually made such a threat;
So did Zahar make such a threat—implicitly if not explicitly?
You decide. See the text of the interview here. (Look for the section in which Zahar says: " [Israel] is holding 9,000 prisoners. If they are not released, kidnappings will increase.")
