Hamas has stated yet again that they will never, ever recognize the rights of Jews to have a homeland in the land of their ancestors.
“Today you are here to send a message to those who say the land of Palestine is not for sale,” said Mahmoud Zahar, a fiery Hamas leader. “Whoever thinks we will recognize a Jewish state … are deluding themselves. There will be no recognition of the state of Israel.”
Remember this when you read another idiotic op-ed calling on Israel to talk to Hamas, or to accept the “ten-year truce” that Hamas continually offers. And then remember that the Hamas charter states explicitly:
Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it
There is no truce with these people. There is no bargaining with these people. And to think that Fatah is the secular side of Hamas is to think wrongly.
Carl says that Olmert will announce the division of Jerusalem today. I hope he’s wrong. But I fear he’s right.
Sure. This is how it ought to be devided. Israel, 100%. islam, 0%
Seems about right to me.
If the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and expecting different results, the Annapolis conference is certainly insane. Unfortunately, a fair number of Israelis apparently have their own cognitive shortcomings or a man like Olmert could not have been elected to be their prime minister.
Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef has announced that he will instruct Shas to withdraw from the government is Olmert tries to divide Yerushalayim. I have a hunch that if he does try, he will have to request political asylum in Saudi Arabia.
THank G-d that he did not explicitly announce his surrender. However, he did implicitly announce his intent to surrender.
As if the surrenders already done and the destruction of Israeli towns have not already done that
