Hamas is slowly but surely dropping the last of the mask of pretending that they want peace with Israel.
Gaza’s Hamas rulers on Friday called on the leaders of Arab nations to drop their proposal for a comprehensive peace deal with Israel, and support the militant group’s battle against the Jewish state instead.
[…] Hamas leader Khalil al-Haya said Israel would only respond to violence, and encouraged others to join it.
“Cut all ties with Israel, withdraw the Arab initiative,” he shouted. “The Zionist enemy doesn’t have a vision of peace. Only force… fighting and holy war works with (Israel.)”
And oh yeah—they told Arab leaders to STFU about kassam rockets murdering Israeli civilians.
Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashaal has called on the leaders of Arab states not to criticize the Qassam rocket fire on Israel during the Arab Summit scheduled to begin in Damascus on Saturday.
In the letter published Friday morning by the London-based Arabic-language al-Hayat newspaper, the Hamas leader defended the Palestinian organizations’ use of the rockets, claiming that this was “a limited weapon”.
[…] “We have no other choice but to note that the Gaza missiles and the limited weapons the Palestinian resistance possesses are aimed at defending our people and our land.
“This weapon is a response to the occupation and aggressiveness. Nevertheless, all the Palestinian resistance factions have expressed their willingness to take the truce issue seriously.”
Say, about Hamas taking that truce seriously? Not so much. Because every time Hamas says they’ll consider a truce, they insist on it being a complete and total surrender of Israel’s ability to stop terror attacks.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad have informed Egypt that they are only prepared to accept a truce with Israel on condition that it include the West Bank, as well as the Gaza Strip, sources close to the Palestinian groups said Thursday.
And gee—the other terrorists don’t want peace, either.
Thursday’s meeting apparently ended without an agreement after the Egyptians told Hamas and Islamic Jihad representatives that Israel had rejected their demand to include the West Bank in the truce.
While all this is going on, Hamas is busy smuggling longer-range rockets into Gaza, as well as blueprints for longer-range rockets and terrorists trained in Iran. The next war is going to be ugly, ugly, ugly. There are going to be many Israeli civilian casualties. And the really sad thing about it is that so many people out there are going to be happy that Israel finally “got theirs.”
I am not feeling very good about this summer. I think Iran is about ready to make its move.
It won’t be this summer. It will be at the end of the year, after the election, when Iran hopes US troops will be withdrawn and the Navy leaves the Persian Gulf. All they’re waiting for is for us to get out of the way, this election may be the most important to the future of Israel – well, ever!

So Hamas is going to keep tossing missiles at Israel and doing everything it can to kill Israelis? Gosh, I hope the Israelis don’t do anything about it and start the cycle of violence again.
Maybe Israel should manufacture identical rockets, and launch them randomly into Hamastan cities and downs one for one! No one can say it’s a “disproportionate” response, it’s simple tit-for-tat!
Wonder how many of them will hit “nurseries” and “schools?”

Geez, did they ever even have a “pretense” of peace to drop?
And the MSM will ignore this hamas manifesto just like they ignored mein kampf, and as they ignored Fridays near miss of Gaza rockets killing Jewish babies.
My anger is directed at the left wing that foster anti-Israel behavior by completely ignoring the arab hatred and actions that are directed towards Israel on a daily basis.
The good news is that more and more American Jews are waking up and realizing what has happened to their beloved party, and changing their voting and funding behavior.
Robert, are you kidding? Every Israeli missile, just like every Israeli bomb and every Israeli bullet, hits only schools, mosques, hospitals, and day care centers.
That’s right, Alex. Israel has developed special munitions that seek out civilians and avoid military targets. I think they were developed by the same crew that came up with the virus that infects only Arabs.
I’m very sorry if this offends anyone, but a Government that stands by and allows it’s own citizens to be slaughtered without taking decisive action is just as culpable as the terrorists. Innocent civilians, including children, are being terrorized by the outlaw State of Hamastan, and the “leaders” of Israel sit on their hands and allow it to happen. Out of fear of “world opinion?” Regardless of what you may think of George W. Bush, he’s a great example of how to react to “world opinion” when executing a war. At this point, it’s time to stop blaming the Palestinians for what the Israeli Government is allowing them to do.
