And the award for "Statement Most Detached From Reality" goes to Atef Adwan, a Hamas Cabinet minister who said:

"Israel is trying to find a pretext to act against the Palestinian institutions and act against the Palestinian people," he said.

By saying "pretext" he makes it read as if the suicide bombing did not actually take place, the people were not killed or injured at a restaurant during passover etc...

Congratulations on your award, Atif. It will be presented by the IDF, in the form of a very large BOOOOOM when you open your car door one day.

It did not do one bit of good for Israel to give land to the Palestinians, so when will they learn?

Definitely. The second place should go to another Hamas-moron, who said that the suicide-bombing was an act of self-defense. These people really are detached from reality.
