At China Daily, and online English Newspaper in China, I read an article (via Reuters) entitled: Hamas PM lists terms for recognizing Israel which states:
The Palestinian prime minister-designate said Hamas is "ready to recognize" Israel if it gives the Palestinian people their full rights and a state in lands occupied since 1967, including the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Hamas chose Ismail Haniyeh, a 43-year-old Gazan viewed by many Palestinians as a pragmatist, as the new prime minister after sweeping the elections on January 25. The group hopes to complete forming a Palestinian government within two weeks.
"If Israel declares that it will give the Palestinian people a state and give them back all their rights, then we are ready to recognize them," Haniyeh told The Washington Post in an interview posted on its Web site on Saturday.
Haniyeh did not say what form the recognition would take.
Stated in 2006: Repeated in January 2009
What a Crock!
Hamas Peace?
Hamas is A Trojan Horse coming to Jerusalem! In 2006 I wrote:
After 58 years of wars, bickering, fighting and terrorism, The Palestinians are ready to accept less than what they could have had in 1948.
Quote: Haniyeh also said Hamas, whose charter calls for Israel's destruction, was ready to consider talks with Israel if the Jewish state withdrew from the West Bank and East Jerusalem and recognized the "right of return" for Palestinian refugees who fled in the 1948 war and their descendants.
Comment: You guys refused your own state in 1948, Declared war on Israel, and 58 years later want people who were not brought up there to return
Quote: "If Israel withdraws to the 1967 borders, then we will establish a peace in stages," Haniyeh said.
Comment: For 58 years your people have lived in Misery and now you will accept less than they could have had for free?
Quote: "We will establish a situation of stability and calm, which will bring safety for our people."
Comment: But not safety for the Jews?
Quote: "We do not have any feelings of animosity toward Jews. We do not wish to throw them into the sea. All we seek is to be given our land back, not to harm anybody," he added.
Comment What a crock!
If this man is actually serious, then it won't take long for one of his buddies to send him to Paradise.
After all these years of fighting, they now want less than what was freely offered to them in 1948, they want less than all that they lost till 1967? And they bear no animosity toward Israel?
If this man is genuine, let him apologise for the destruction of Israel that was ever the desire of his people, and because of which the Palestinian and Other Arab leaders caused the Palestinians and the Jews so much pain and loss.
Let him be clear!
This is political B.S. at its' best!
Translation:
This is the Trojan Horse of History, and is designed to destroy Israel.

27th February 2006 – Next Day Update
When all the BS coming from the Hamas leadership actually hit the fan,
Reiterating a long-standing position by Hamas, Mr Haniyeh said the group would never recognise Israel but could agree to a long-term truce if Israel withdrew from lands captured in the 1967 war, freed prisoners and allowed the return of refugees.
What is the Key Word here?
Israel will never be recognised!
Hamas is saying: “We will let Jews live a little while longer if they will co-operate with us.
This is Nazi Germany all over again.
First it was the Leadership of the Arab World who denied the Palestinians their own country, and then it was the Palestinian Leadership under Arafat and now under Hamas it once again says 'we will never live peacefully'.
The Palestinian people are suffering because their leaders do not love them, do not respect them, and consider them nothing more than cattle to be driven about and housed wherever it suits the master.
As long as the Palestinian Leadership desires death for their people so that they can score political power, the palestinians and Israelis will die. But one day, maybe the Israelis will have had enough. Maybe on that day, they will give the Arab World and the Palestinian Leadership what they so eagerly cry for – Martyrs! Maybe Israel will give you millions and millions of Martyrs in just one moment of time, and after that, there will be peace.
July 2006: Israel at War with Lebanon
Workers’ International News, August 1938 : Palestine the Pawn-- Under the classic principle of divide and rule, Arab is pitted against Jew in a bitter war of mutual extermination while British Imperialism utilises the deadlock in order that the Iraq pipeline may be guarded and the Suez Canal protected. Almost 70 years later they are still pitted against each other
In regards to the issue of foreign aid to Palestine, take a look at this article about the effects of foreign aid to Africa. 'For God's Sake, Please Just Stop Aid' By Hans H.J. Labohm.

I made a comment on an earlier post about how "Palestinian Misery" and "Palestinian suffering" is nothing but someone’s agenda and marketable propaganda. That someone is on someone else's pay roll, actually being paid to stir trouble in the middle east...first it was Yaser Arafat who was on Iraq’s pay roll and now it is the Hamas who are on Iran's pay roll.
Not sure who said it, but it goes something like...."The Palestinians have never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity”… 50 years later and this saying is as relevant as it ever was.
Electing the Hamas, a known terrorist organization (run by Iran and the Hezbollah in Lebanon) to office is yet another example of Palestinian stupidity and their lack of will to ever resolve this conflict. This conflict will continue for as long as the major players in the middle east (like Iran, Hezbollah, Saudi Arabia etc.) will continue to pay blood money to Palestinians for their suicide bombers work. It is that simple, yet the left parties in Israel still don't get it into their heads.
