Such A Deal!!

In the interests of getting Palestine recognized as a real rather than ersatz state, Hamas has been pimping their party platform.

On May 11, Senior Hamas official Mahmoud Zahar said Hamas would be willing to accept a Palestinian state on 1967 borders.

Nice. Except that there are no "1967 borders." There is a 1948 Armistice Line which the Arab nations insisted for decades were NOT borders. They saw it merely as a minor delay, a sort of Do-Not-Pass-Go line on their way to the eradication of Israel and the slaughter of its dhimmi inhabitants.

However, this announcement of Hamas's gracious acceptance of a Palestinian state must be read in light of other official pronouncements.

On May 4, the same official stated that Hamas would never recognize the State of Israel. In other words, we want to be a U.N.-member state without recognizing another U.N. Member state, and while communicating our intention to wipe out said U.N.-member state....

According to Zahar, who was speaking on Al Jazeera, "Palestine is "hallowed ground" and Hamas will never recognize Israel. He added that Palestinians will not give up on their "right" to Palestine, while recognizing "the rule of Poles and Ethiopians in their land."

I'll just skip right over the obvious racism in this statement and head straight for the facts:

(1) Religious tomes, as the Left so often derides Israeli "settlers", are not a Title to real estate....and that includes the Quran;

(2) Palestinians have no "right" to Israel; those "Palestinians" born abroad and living in Lebanon, Syria, Chile, Jordan, Brazil, Canada, Europe, Kuwait, etc. are Lebanese, Syrian, Chilean, Jordanian, Brazilian, Canadian, European, Kuwaiti, etc....they are NOT "Palestinian" both because they were not born in Palestine, and because there IS no Palestine. When a state of Palestine is recognized, they have the "right" to live there -- not in Israel.

Side note: Palestinians claim that their identity as "Palestinian" is immutable and survives emigration, flight, intermarriage, overseas birth, other citizenship....once a Palestinian, always a Palestinian unto the nth generation....

So why do they have such a problem recognizing immutable Jewish rights to this homeland?

(3) 70% of Israelis are native born....they may have parents or grandparents who came from Poland or Ethiopia, but they did not....they speak Hebrew, not Polish; they have no "right" to EU or Ethiopian citizenship.

According to Mashaal, leader of Hamas, they are willing to temporarily accept a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza. But the ultimate goal, however, would be a state of "Palestine in its entirety," meaning the eradication of Israel.

This position was reinforced by Zahar, who stated that Hamas could not recognize Israel, because doing so would "cancel the right of the next generation to liberate the land." He added that recognition of Israel could lead to Palestinian refugees losing their right of return.

"What will be the fate of the five million Palestinians in the diaspora?" Zahar asked.

Duh!

They're supposed to give up their U.N. welfare cards, become Palestinian citizens, and work on building their new state, much like Israel did with its influx of Jewish refugees driven out of Arab states.

And where did you get 5 million? Palestinians can't count. The number of Palestinian "refugees" still living is less than 300,000 -- the rest of them are descendants and welfare frauds, neither of which is a "refugee" category.

So, this is the deal Hamas is offering in its bid for statehood:

a. We'll take a state in the West Bank and Gaza;

b. It's temporary;

c. We reserve the right of the Next Generation to wage further war against the Zionist entity to "liberate" the rest of "Palestine;"

d. We refuse to recognize the state of Israel because to do so would abrogate our "right" to eradicate Israel;

e. There is no "peace" but only a "truce" (Hamas reloading) while we prepare the next wave of invasion and war.

THIS is a peace offer?

They think we'll accept this?

The Collective Idiocy of the EU, Ashton et al, thinks we'll accept this?

This is a recipe for war and genocide.

Not only "No" but "Hell, no! Never Again!"
