Hamas calls for Paleo Army
2004-12-12
A senior Islamic Hamas leader called Saturday on the Palestinian Authority to rebuild the Palestinian security apparatuses and establish a Palestinian army. Isma'eel Haneya told a group of academics, "In order to achieve a social amicability, all security apparatuses should be rebuilt in a frame of an army and become national security apparatuses." The seminar organized by the Palestinian Foundation for Culture, Science and Development in Gaza was held to discuss the future of the Palestinians' political situation after the death of Yasser Arafat. Ibrahim Abrash, a lecturer at al Azahar University in Gaza, said militarizing the Intifada was a mistake and asked about "the benefits of the armed struggle. We should ask ourselves where are we going to," said Abrash. "Was militarizing the Intifada good or bad, and what were the benefits of the armed." Haneya responded that there is a difference between "those who want to evaluate the Palestinian armed resistance and those who are seeking to undermine it."

#6  Perhaps they could get some assistance from the Europeans in this effort. Possibly the Phrawnch. They know how to surrender with style.

#4  We are running out of patience for Hamas assholes.
IMHO on the first serious Hamas terror operation,
there will be a wholsale butchering of their military and political leaders.
I must say I will not shed any tears for them once this happens.

#3  Hamas continues to serve the Palestinians every bit as well as Arafat ever did. Both will bring the Palestinian people to exactly the same end.

#2  The only spot that needs to change is for a few more infrared ones to appear on the foreheads of as many Hamas operatives as possible. The only good jew hater is a dead jew hater.

Hamas can not be trusted.

#1  I interpret this to mean that a) they are discussing these matters with words rather than automatic weapons, which I think is a good sign, b) they are/were fed up with Yasser's little head games when he would play all the "security services" against each other, which I think is also a good sign.

BUT. Leopards generally don't change their spots, and AFAIK Hamas et al do not yet "love their children more than they hate the Jews."
