Haniyeh: Hamas will not recognize Israel
2006-10-13
Palestinian Authority Prime Minster Ismail Haniyeh reiterated on Thursday that Hamas would not recognize Israel and would not abandon its armed struggle. Haniyeh told followers at a meal to break the fast of Ramadan that the international community would increase the pressure it was exerting on Hamas "in order to try and force it to sacrifice its principles." Israel Radio reported that Haniyeh stressed that "a civil war is not in the vocabulary of the Palestinian people."

Regarding kidnapped IDF soldier Cpl. Gilad Shalit, Haniyeh said, "Olmert is the one delaying your boy's release, "adding, "Hamas and the organizations that carried out the kidnapping are prepared to release him as part of a prisoner exchange deal."

"We will not release him in exchange for promises—only as part of a deal," exclaimed the PA prime minister.

Then we'd better well make damned sure not a thin dime reaches their hands. Even direct distributions to the Palestinian people are right out.

#4  "Hamas will not recognize Israel"

Was there ever any doubt?

The MSM always has that incessant self-serving habit of wasting bandwidth and parroting nonsense, making a mountain of hope out of a tiny molehill.

#3  Perhaps you should relook at and extend Condi's words. In the West, when animals are suffering and have no hope of getting better, they are euthanized.

#2  Meanwhile, Condi's message this week is about assuring the poor Palestinians that we don't want them to suffer and that they deserve a state.

#1  Meanwhile in other news, the sun rose today in the east.

Israel Radio reported that Haniyeh stressed that "a civil war is not in the vocabulary of the Palestinian people."

Other words not in the Paleo vocabulary include: 'truth', 'humanity', 'compassion', 'honesty', 'honour' and 'freedom'.

My sympathies are with Cpl Shilat, a war was initiated to get him and his comrades released, and he's still in the belly of the beast.
