We will not recognise Israel: Haniya
2006-10-07
GAZA CITY - Prime minister Ismail Haniya said on Friday that his Hamas movement would not recognise Israel but would accept a long-term truce in exchange for an independent Palestinian state with the 1967 borders.
“We will not recognise Israel. We are for the creation of a Palestinian state on the territories occupied in 1967 with Jerusalem as its capital in exchange for a truce but not recognition of Israel, which would amount to renouncing the land of our ancestors...”
“We will not recognise Israel, we will not recognise Israel, we will not recognise Israel,” Haniya thundered in a speech before tens of thousands of Hamas dupes rubes maroons fools splodydopes supporters rallying in support of his embattled Palestinian terrorist government. “We are for the creation of a Palestinian state on the territories occupied (by Israel) in 1967 with Jerusalem as its capital in exchange for a truce but not recognition of Israel, which would amount to renouncing the land of our ancestors,” he added.
In other words, he wants a two-step solution: first get a state on the '67 lands, and then, kill all the Joooz and take the rest of the land. That's known as a 'pragmatic' Paleo.
He also rejected the “diktats” imposed by the four international sponsors of the Middle East peace process. “We reject foreign interference in the affairs of the Palestinian people and the diktats of the quartet,” Haniya said.
"But we do want their money!"

#7  #6 DAMN, I wish we still had a couple of battleships with 16-inch guns. A little "battleship diplomacy", with say, the Iowa and the Missouri lining up opposite the Gaza Strip, with a couple of cruisers and destroyers as escort. Just start tossing 16-inch shells into the Strip every three minutes. Tell HamAss that the shelling will stop as soon as Hamass surrenders - unconditionally - to the Israelis. And stand by that statement - no waffling, no "negotiations", no pity or "humanity" - just "boom", "Boom", "BOOM", every three minutes.

Old Patriot: That's how we used to do it, back in the days of my father and real men like you.

Today, the very word and concept of victory is treated as unseemingly as Tom Foley at a children's pajama party.

#5  You know, at some point, we in the West admit that we are no longer interested in watching the Palestinians and their antics and just change the channel.

My mind is blurry, but IIRC, that was the essence of the "2 States plan" designed in accord with the European Community (cf. Eurabia pact requirements) in Venice, back in 1980 I think.
Thus, the 1993 Oslo agreement was nothing short of a complete arab strategical victory, since it gave coherence to the whole "national liberation struggle" scheme they created with the soviets.

#3  Don't renounce violence and don't recognize Israel and don't keep your agreements.

All things Isreali should be cut off - jobs, money, food, fuel, electricity, water, health-care. Everything. Everything from the Satans too. Not a dime. Not a single dime.

We no longer wish to recongize "paleostine". No more "foreign interference". Die asshats.

#1  No recognition of Israel: no money. The Quartet must stand fast on this issue or be prepared to watch another decade and billions more dollars swirl down the Palestinian toilet.
