Visiting British Prime Minister Tony Blair Sunday naively thought he could intice Hamas to abandon its terrorist roots by offering to end the West's isolation of the Palestinian Authority if the group renounced its desire to destroy Israel.

Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri quickly squashed any hope of that:

"I want to renew our rejection of these (Western) decisions because we consider them as biased, unjust and conditional decisions."
