Afzweren van geweld, erkennen van Israël (liefst als Joodse staat!), en accepteren van eerdere verdragen van de PA met Israël, dat zijn de 3 eisen die aan Hamas zijn gesteld om de boycot op te heffen en hen als gesprekspartner te accepteren. Zoals de Arabische Liga in 1967 in Kartoem, is het antwoord van Hamas nu 3 keer nee.
Israël is verdoemd en de Palestijnen zullen al hun rechten herwinnen, inclusief het zogenaamde 'recht op terugkeer'. Hamas leider Maghmoud Zahar drukte zich poëtisch uit bij de herdenking van de 'Nakba', de catastrofe die de stichting van Israël volgens de Palestijnen was:
"We will not surrender to cheap blackmail regardless of the consequences. We will protect the land with our bare bodies because we are its indigenous inhabitants who will serve it and water it with our blood."
Wordt het misschien zo zoetjes aan eens tijd om deze mensen te zien als wat ze zijn, en niet te beschouwen als 'vrijheidsstrijders' die Israël wel zullen erkennen, van geweld afzien en zich neerleggen bij een compromis als Israël maar meer toegeeft?

Zahhar was speaking at the beginning of a conference marking the 60th year of Palestinian exile in Gaza. He said that Israel "is doomed" and that Palestinians will win their rights, including the right to return, through resistance. Zahhar harshly criticized US President George Bush's visit to Israel this week to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the county's founding. He said that Palestinian land "is not for sale" and the right of return is sacred. He also said that the resistance will erase the Israeli occupation as it had done to other empires. Zahhar called on the Arab states to support the Palestinian people. With regard to Palestinian prisoners, Zahhar said in a message, "We will not surrender to cheap blackmail regardless of the consequences. We will protect the land with our bare bodies because we are its indigenous inhabitants who will serve it and water it with our blood." The Vice President of the Gaza conference, Islamic Jihad leader Muhammad Al-Hindi said, "The Palestinian people will not beg for a ceasefire and they can bear double suffering than the occupation can. This heavily-armed entity can't endure a small confrontation with resistance fighters." Commenting on Bush's visit to Israel, Al-Hindi said, "At these moments, the one responsible for killing thousands of innocent children in Iraq and Afghanistan came to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the establishment of Israel. This is the anniversary of killing and displacing the Palestinian people and planting that entity in the heart of the Arab nation over the debris of Palestine and its people." He added, "The US president will stand up in the Israeli Knesset tomorrow to distribute awards and pledges. He will deny the right of return of Palestinian refugees. He will reject removal of Israeli settlements from the West Bank. He will talk about Jerusalem as the united capital of Israeli occupation." |
