| Resistance™ is 'legitimate right™': Palestinian PM |
| 2007-07-31 |
| Palestinian prime minister Salam Fayyad insisted that resistance™ is “legitimate right™Â” after militants criticised the wordÂ’s omission from his cabinet programme, Egyptian state media reported on Monday. “We are an occupied nation and resistance™ is the legitimate right™ of the Palestinian people”, the official MENA news agency quoted Fayyad as saying in Cairo late on Sunday. Radical groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad on Sunday slammed FayyadÂ’s failure to mention resistance™ in his cabinet programme as abandoning “the mother of all principles of the Palestinian people, accepted and recognised by everybody.” Fayyad, a respected economist and former employee of the World Bank, was appointed to head the Palestinian cabinet after the Islamist Hamas movement overran the Gaza Strip in a bloody takeover on June 15. But while Fayyad repeated the Palestinian right to resistance™, he also said that “what happened in Gaza was unacceptable as it was a coup against legitimacy.” His cabinet programme, which was published over the weekend, does not contain the term “resistance™,” used by the Palestinians to describe armed struggle™ against Israeli occupation. The term was included in the programme of the previous Palestinian cabinet headed by Hamas premier Ismail Haniya. |

| #14 Hey dummies: you are waging a war against Israel. Every member of every family, whether Hamass or FatalH, regardless of age or sex, is a "warrior" against the State of Israel. Israel therefore has the RIGHT as a nation under attack to wipe your hairy a$$ off the face of the earth - in fact it has a responsibility to its citizens to do just that. It ain't genocide, it's WAR, and you will all be "war casualties". The sooner Israel gets this straight and begins destroying you, the better the whole world will be. |

| #13 I think I know what their problem is. They all try to resist in parallel. If they'd do it in series, they'd get a much more resistance for the same number of people! |

| #12 There truly would be nothing left for them if peace broke out. I have a sneaking feeling that this is precisely why peace does not break out. |

| #10 Resistance to an Unlawful Resistance (I.e. Resistance not carried out in accordance to the Geneva Conventions) is a Legitimate Right also. Of course, it must be carried out Lawfully. |

| #6 Where was their Resistance when they lived under their muzzie brothers from '48-'67, without representation, opportunity, and ghettoized? |

| #5 Resistance, they've done squat for the last 50 years, save resistance. Their precious resistance accounts for their entire national identity and goals in life. What would they ever do with out their resistance? There truly would be nothing left for them if peace broke out. |

| #1 Radical groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad on Sunday slammed Fayyad’s failure to mention resistance™ in his cabinet programme as abandoning “the mother of all principles of the Palestinian people, accepted and recognised by everybody.” Which changes not one whit in how the Israelis should still rightfully blow your damned terrorist asses straight to everlasting hell at every single opportunity. |
