Beilin: Hamas is stronger than Fatah - and Barghouti is to blame

Yossi Beilin has some suprisingly strong words on Marwan Barghouti:

"I believe he was carried away. He thought he could control the violence he unleashed and end the intifada in a few weeks. But he was carried away in an ongoing competition with Hamas on the ground, which was about violence, and today Hamas is stronger than Fatah, and Barghouti is to blame - because Fatah started this intifada, and not Hamas."
