| Hamas: Change US's Palestinian policy |
| 2006-11-19 |
| The United States must change its policy on the Palestinians, and force Israel to do likewise, Hamas government spokesman Ghazi Hamad said Saturday. According to Hamad, the US shouldn't attempt to force Hamas to comply with Quartet conditions for the recognition of its government. In a related development, some Western nations have expressed concern over the US's proposals to arm Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah security forces, the British Times reported. Some US officials believe that should attempts to establish a unity government in the PA prove futile, Abbas should be supplied with "deterrent capability" against Hamas. Specifically, US proposals include doubling the size of Abbas' Force 17 presidential guard and shipping weapons into the Gaza Strip, a move that would have to be approved by Israel. In addition, Fatah officials have requested that over 1,000 exiled members of the PLO's Badr Brigades be allowed back into the PA from Jordan. Opponents of the US approach feel that the international community had accepted the results of the PA elections in January 2006 that put Hamas in power, and therefore should support efforts to put together a unity government in the strife-ridden PA. |

| #4 Let's review those horrible, incomprehensible, mind-numbing conditions: Renounce violence ("But, but... we VOTED for violence fair and square.") Recognize Israel ("But, but... we VOTED to drive Israel into the sea. All on the up and up. It's our platform. You can read it in our Objectives. And we VOTED too.") Keep your agreements. ("But we never keep agreements, that's just stupid. It goes against our nature. And we VOTED for taqiyya. All fair and square") Boggling how the muslim mind cannot grasp the simplest, most straight-forward statement. Simple reasonable truths to the western mind are beyond the ken of the blinkered, psychotic and robotic programming that passes for islamic "thinking". They will never understand or accept the Quartet's conditions. They can't becuase the conditions are the polar opposite of their desires. And nothing keeps a muslim from the violent expression of his genocidal desires. |

| #2 Shipping weapons into the Gaza Strip? I should think by now that you couln't walk down the street for all the weapons littering the sidewalk. There have been weapons flooding into the territory for 40 years, where the hell are they all now? They simply couldn't have a shortage of arms, it's impossible. |
