In a front page Los Angeles Times article "Allies of Palestinians see a friend in Obama" , a going away party for Rashid Khalidi, a Palestinian academic and activist with a long-record of anti-Israel action, Barack Obama gave a special tribute to Khalidi, his friend and frequent dinner companion. Then state senator Obama spoke warmly about the meals prepared by Khalidi's wife and credited his many talks with Khalidi as being:

Have a big party, invite both groups and mazel tov, problem solved.

saleman is mistaken. The actual quote is

Hamas is also too weak to carry out its chosen strategy of what it calls "resistance" --they haven't fired a rocket in almost nine months since the Israeli attack on Gaza ended in January. And so really this is a totally unsatisfactory situation. The focus ought to be on the failure of outside actors to do anything to change this.

Khalidi, a longstanding associate of Obama is clearly bemoaning the fact that Hamas is unable to sustain prolonged attacks on Israel, and bemoaning the fact the "outside actors" aren't helping kill Jews.
