On my own site, I seriously doubted the MSM’s claims that Hamas Foreign Minister Mahmoud Zahar had accepted the two-state solution, thus recognizing Israel.
“Israeli procedures in the occupied territories will put an end to all hopes to reach a final settlement based on the two-state solution,” it said.
No mention of the fact that Hamas doesn’t actually support the so-called two-state solution. Just saying that all hopes for it are ended. France, Bush, the UN, and others may hope for it, but not Hamas. When it comes to “final settlement” that’s a one-state solution of Palestine, although Hamas/Zahar really just want Israel destroyed and the Jews driven out. They don’t quite know what they want after than, even if they dangle the concept of “Palestine” in front of their followers and future suicide bombers and fighters.
And sure enough, I appear to be right in the fact that the MSM is engaging in its usual wishful thinking and concealment of the true Palestinian agenda to murder Jews and destroy Israel:
Palestinian Foreign Minister and senior Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar on Wednesday denied referring to a two-state solution to the Middle East conflict, wording that might have hinted at Israel’s right to exist.
A senior Palestinian diplomat at the United Nations said on Tuesday that Zahar had made the reference in a letter he sent to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan this week.
“Such a sentence was not used in the letter,” Zahar told Reuters. A copy of the letter seen by Reuters also showed no mention of a two-state solution.
But does that stop the MSM for deluding itself into seeing a silver lining in this cloud of fire and death?
Nope:
Despite not referring to a two-state solution, Zahar’s letter to Annan was conciliatory for a Hamas leader who has a reputation as a hardliner.
This is a lot like calling the time between a rapist assaulting his victim and then murdering her “concilatory” when all he’s doing is catching his breath.
I repeat the question I asked on my own site once again: Does anyone have the full test of the letter? (And can they please wipe Kofi Annan’s drool and other bodily fluids off of it first?)
