'"The road map aims to assure security for Israel at the expense of the security of our people. It is a plan to liquidate the Palestinian cause (for independence). It is rejected by us," Sheikh Ahmed Yassin told Reuters in Gaza City.'

Time and again it will be a party to a 'peace process' which aims at nothing of the sort.
