The Deputy Chief of the Hamas Political Bureau says that Hamas will never recognize Israel. But if any British officials are reading this, don't worry! I'm sure that if you send Hamas enough money, their hearts will melt with gratitude, and they will become putty in your hands!
From the Muslim Brotherhood's website, Ikhwanweb, with thanks to all who sent this in:
Ikhwanweb: Some media reports have circulated that the Norwegian government is welcoming a visit by Hamas delegate. Do you consider this decision the beginning of European openness toward Hamas government?Abu Marzouk: We are reassured that the current policy by European governments towards the Palestinian government will eventually change, because simply it is wrong and irrational. It is unreasonable to punish the Palestinian people for their democratic choice. We should not forget the EU always played a major rule in the Palestinian Issue, so it is not uncommon for them to fulfill their human responsibilities toward Palestinian people. Meanwhile, we value and appreciate the Russian government’s role as well as the new Italian PM position. Therefore, the welcoming by the government of Norway is an indication that the siege on the Palestinian people began to fall apart.
Ikhwanweb: There are statements attributed to Mr. Khaled Mesha’al indicating that Hamas will recognize Israel if it withdraws to the 1967 borders. Your comments
Abu Marzouk: One of Hamas founding principals is that it does not recognize Israel. We ran in elections and the people voted for us based on this platform. Therefore, the question to recognize Israel is definitely not on the table unless if it withdraws from ALL Palestinian lands, not only to 1967 borders. How can we be expected to recognize an occupying entity when there are millions of our people refugees and thousands others prisoners! Why must we recognize them when they do not recognize us as a sovereign state with full independence.
Ikhwanweb: Is there any pressure from Arab countries, specially Egypt, exerted on Hamas to recognize Israel?
Abu Marzouk: They have not frankly asked us to do so. However, they asked us to recognize the Arab peace initiatives, which include the recognition of Israel. We, at Hamas, rejected these impractical initiatives and even Israel itself did the same. Hamas sees the goal behind such pressures is to lower the upper limit of the Palestinian demands to the most possible minimum level.

You don't recognize Israel?
Let me help ya.
Israel is that country that's been kickin' yer mohammedan asses for nigh on sixty years now.
That help?

I agree with this goon when he says that the European countries helped the "palestinian issue."
Some Europeans, like old Quisling, helped the "palestinians" by helping in the Holocaust, in which they were aided by Haj Amin el-Husseini and other Arabs/Muslims, including the Bagdad mob that massacred an estimated 600 Jews in the Farhud of 1941, at this season of year, on the Shavu`ot holiday.

Let me get this straight Hammas wants Israel to get out of all Muslim lands , don't they claim everything as their land? What exactly would Hammas leave for Israel? What would happen if Isreal just started to say the samethings back to the Palistinians that they are saying to them.

Remember, these guys were elected. That is the primary danger of democracy in the middle east. Perhaps we should've expounded on the idea of a Constitutional Rebublic, where there is rule of the law, not Democracy where there is rule of the mob.

Unfortunately, Europeans are not the only ones whose wishful thinking is causing them to backslide into appeasing Hamas. Here's an excerpt from an article Jimmy Carter just wrote in the International Herald Tribune; my own comments are in brackets:
Jimmy Carter: Punishing the innocent is a crime
International Herald Tribune
SUNDAY, MAY 7, 2006
"Innocent Palestinian people are being treated like animals, with the presumption that they are guilty of some crime. Because they voted for candidates who are members of Hamas, the United States government has become the driving force behind an apparently effective scheme of depriving the general public of income, access to the outside world and the necessities of life....
"With all their faults [!!!], Hamas leaders have continued to honor a temporary cease-fire, or hudna, during the past 18 months, and their spokesman told me that this 'can be extended for two, 10 or even 50 years if the Israelis will reciprocate.' Although Hamas leaders have refused to recognize the state of Israel while their territory is being occupied, Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh has expressed approval for peace talks between Abbas and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel. He added that if these negotiations result in an agreement that can be accepted by Palestinians, then the Hamas position regarding Israel would be changed."
["With all their faults...."
I couldn't make up stuff like this. If you read the rest of Carter's article in the above link, you will see that he doesn't even mention Hamas' identity as a terrorist organization. In fact, he doesn't use words like "terrorist" and "terrorism" at all.]

How does one understand Jimmy Carter? What is his idea of what he is doing in the world? I think I understand Pat Buchanan, who tries to keep America out of entanglements; but Carter speaks to more universal themes, how "Palestinians are treated like animals", etc.

Jimmy Carter is:
1)a Southerner
2)stuck in the '70s
3)a man who does not understand change
4)of limited vision
5) someone who does not grasp that there are other tactics besides negotiation
6) someone who doesn't learn from his own experience
7)a man who keeps on retaining the same speech and newspaper article writers, or cloning them.

The word "punishment" is peculiar here. Why is it assumed that Infidels owe Muslims -- in this case that subset now known as the "Palestinians" -- a living? On what theory, other than the theory of the Jizyah payment made to fulfill one's duty to Muslim masters, so that the non-Muslims may continue to be "protected people"?

I was about to ask the same thing.
How does not giving someone something they haven't earned amount to "punishment"? The West owes it to them to support them because they breed like rodents? Because they're too stupid, venal, and lazy to do anything constructive with their time?

"I think I understand Pat Buchanan, who tries to keep America out of entanglements; but Carter speaks to more universal themes, how "Palestinians are treated like animals"
-- from a posting above
Pat Buchanan and Jimmy Carter intersect at one point. That one point is their shared lack of sympathy, hostility even, for Israel. Each suffers from a pathological mental condition that presents differently. But that condition is detectable. It can be properly identified. See Gavin Langmuir, see Malcolm Hay, see Leon Poliakoff,

It is not unreasonable at all to punish the Palestinian people for their choice. They knew what they were electing, so now they can deal with the consequences. That's democracy.

Isn't it the ethical thing for Carter to renounce his citizenship in this worst of all countries? His soul would be cleaner and my soul would be at peace. My ears would be at peace too. I'm getting irritated by his prattle.

The Pals do want a two-state solution, as long as Israel simply relocates out of the Middle East. How about northern Montana? I'm sure Jimmy would approve.

It was wrong in the first place to give the Pali-Arabs financial support, especially when Ara-fish was still around playing his game. Now they think they are entitled to it, because they had a ´democratic´election.
Whats worse is that Jimmah just won´t go away and keeps insulting the world with his obstinate stupidity. Its embarrassing, isn´t it?

An entry in Webster's Fourth International Dictionary which became available on-line in 2022:
"Carterism.
An extreme form of holier-than-thou self-righteousness, prompted by a manic desire for self-aggrandizement, and expressed most notably in appeasement of those who, in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, actively engaged in the Jihad of "pen, speech." A term derived from the name of the 40th President of the United States, James Earl Carter. Initally some used the term neutrally, but it became a term of abuse after the surprise Muslim attack of December 25, 2016. That attack followed by a few weeks the coup d'etat of the French army, led by a female commander known only by her nom de guerre of "Anna Mabry," and thus began that eleven-month conflict known variously to historians as the Christmas War, the December War, the Great Jihad, and,as it was called by the non-Muslims of Europe who with American, Israeli, and Russian help destroyed or drove out the invaders and all their local collaborators, as the Great Dhimmi Revolt. The oilfields of Arabia were seized, and the revenues from them used to compensate Infidels, mostly butnot exclusively in Europe, for years of humiliation, degradation, and physical insecurity caused by Muslim threats and demands. In addition, war reparations were paid for out of the oil revenues, especially for the extensive damage done to residences, government office buildings, churches, schools, and in some cases, works of art following the attacks on many museums. The reparations will continue until 2050, by which time it is expected that both the need for, and the continued supply of, Saudi oil, will have come to an end.
The term "Carterism" has now become obsolete, though it remains of historical interest. Its first recorded use was at a posting on May 8, 2006, at the website Jihad Watch."

RE: Promised by "g-d". Prove that there is a "Jewish" god; that he is yours (and yours alone); that he is not the same stupid god of the Moslems; that "the land" is yours; that you are "chosen" and worthy due to British promises, whereas others are not. I am sick of religious fanatics. Like Moslems, some Jews fall into that category too.
Many on this site don't believe in any compromise with Moslems at anytime. That is ridiculous and contradicts real politik. Many believe that there are no moderate Moslems and that Moslems could never negotiate. Not all of them are all rabid beasts. While I concede that Islam is utter lunacy, most Moslems are apostates anyway. The solution is to exterminate the extremists.
Please note that I am not suggesting negotiating with HAMAS, but negotiating with the Arabs you must. NEWS FLASH: There is nothing inherently sacred or special about the nation of Israel.

Yes perhaps Israel (although they won fare and square) was a mistake in the beginning but that does not matter anymore. It is the world we live in. They are a modern civilized culture. Of course they have a few ultra-nutz but so does every modern civilized culture. They are a SMALL minority. Not the case with Islam (and most arabs are muslim) which is neither civilized or modern.

KFIR NON-BELIEVER: "There is nothing inherently sacred or special about the nation of Israel."
Certainly there is nothing "sacred" about Israel...unless one is a Jew which I am not. But there IS something "special" about Israel. The circumstances of its birth, of its tenacious survival, and of its democratic system...all inside a realm of murderous hostility...is certainly unique in modern human history and to be admired.

I would be afraid that these moderate muslims, even the Saudi's, would turn on a dime and slice your throat, drill holes in you and then behead you. I really don't care that the mohammedons like a lot of sex, they can catch all kinds of diseases for all I care. But they're still mohammedons. Taught to hate, kill, rape, enslave you without any second thought. It may seem they are apostates, but unless they denounce islam, they're still mohammedons.
As far as sorting them out...well....let God do that. kaPOW!!

The poster above who claims ´that most Muslims are apostates anyway´- where is proof?
Where is that ´moderate muslim´that everyone is looking for when, after the right questions are being asked, the ´moderate´rejects this false western label and turns into the full blown disease for which the only cure for us is defense & isolation from the Mohammedan camp!
As for Israel not being a miracle, for Israel having been established against all odds against 3 wars and two íntifadahs´, suicide bombers and rocket attacks daily, this Israel lives on a prayer and deserves every justification there is.
CNN´s bleeding heart brigades this morning complained that the Pali-arabs are upset because they can no longer access Israeli hospitals and have to rely on their own, how bad is that?
Give them Jihad, give them intifadah, but don´t give them money, don´t give them weapons, don´t give anything but leave them stew in their own bile & hatred!

Neither the USA or Europe or any other country owes or has ever owed the Palestinians money. Note the use of the word punishment as someone else said. Ever notice how Muslims ALWAYS play the victim. Sorry, not buying it. The Palestinians knowingly voted Hamas in and if there are problems as a result of that, then let the Palestinians solve them. Anyway, no matter how much money the West gave them, they'll still dislike and blame the West and will stand with other Muslims against the West.

KAFIR NON-BELIEVER: "There is nothing inherently sacred or special about the nation of Israel."
There is something special about Jews - their art of survival despite everything and everybody (think about 15 centuries of living in the diaspora, think 1948, think 1967 etc etc. And Jews do deserve their own country like any other nation (including Kurds) and there is something else special about Israel - it is the only Western-style democracy in the ME. I believe Isreale will win, be it with God's help and covenant or their own art of survival, intelligence and love of life. Long live Israel!
at May 9, 2006 5:09 PM
The Jizyah, apparently, will be forthcoming after all. Over the objections of Infidels all over this country, our government presumes, in their name, but without their permission, to renew the Jizyah payments (but only the "humanitarian" ones) to the "Palestinians" who now are lead by Hamas (the Fast Jihad) instead of Abbas (the Slow Jihad). A disaster, every which way.
