Seymour Hersh Denounces "Jewish Money"; Says Hamas Wants Peaceful Coexistence

Seymour Hersh, whose recent investigative article on the Israeli bombing of Syria has revealed...well, pretty much nothing, was recently interviewed by Al Jazeera. He offered this view on U.S. politics and the Middle east:

Q: With US elections this year, do you think any foreign policy is going to change with a new president, especially towards Israel, Iran and Syria?

A: Well certainly [it won’t change] with McCain, he's talking about not even changing the war, which I think is a big mistake....[On Israel] it's very hard, you know in America there's just no questioning. The American Jewish influence is enormous. There's a lot of money.

I'm Jewish and I'm not anti-Semitic and I'm not anti-Israel - [Israelis] understand that, just as by the way a lot of Americans don't understand that many of the leadership of Hamas and others.

Not everyone spends their life there wanting to kill Jews, they're more willing than people would like to believe to co-exist, they just don't like the system the way it works now.
