I love Hamas
Okay, I don’t really love Hamas, but I love their honesty. Here is a blunt Palestinian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Zahar:
"We will never recognize Israel, and the end the [fate of] Zionists will be like that of the Crusaders, the Persians and the English, who left. We want all of Palestine, every centimeter, from the river to the sea, from Rosh Hanikra to Rafah. If we can form a state within the 1967 borders we will do so, but this doesn't mean that we will relinquish our right to every centimeter of Palestine's land.”
I love the fact that this raving fundamentalist lunatic has the title “Palestinian Foreign Minister.” Why? Simple—because now the mask is off for the whole world to hear the Palestinians in their extremist splendor.
This doesn’t mean I am happy that Israel has no negotiating partner, because I’m not. But Israel hasn’t had a trustworthy negotiating partner… ever. We now know—and many of us knew before—that Arafat’s PA sometimes talked the talk about peace in English (but not in Arabic), but they never meant it. The result was that Israel was pressured into making dangerous concessions to the PA, even though it had no intentions of coming to a final peace settlement.
But with Hamas, what you see is what you get. At least Israel knows where it stands, and everybody knows where the Palestinians stand.

Firstly-Thank you for updating your blog.
Secondly- When have we been UNCLEAR as to what Hamas' or The PLO's opinion of Israel was?
What is a better point is how the stupid media sounds "surprised" when their leaders come out and call very plainly for the elimination of Jews.
The media sounds surprised when they even bother to COVER the leaders calling for the elimination of the Jews. And then they forget about it immediately.
Hamas know they can say & do virtually what they like because quite frankly the current Israeli administration is a f*cking sick joke. Olmert, Lipni et al should have done the honourable thing and resigned en masse after the Hizbollah debacle.
What goverment can send 50,000 soldiers and cops to evict it's own people form Gaza, yet only 30,000 to inconclusive stalemate against its bitterest enemies? Go figure.
