Hamas Rejects Cease-fire with Israel

[drdon326]

Hamas ruled out any truce with Israel Sunday and repeated its desire to destroy the Jewish state, rejecting what had appeared to be more conciliatory comments by one of the Islamic militant group's leaders.

"There is no talk about a truce now at all," Mahmoud Al-Zahar, a top Hamas leader, told reporters.


"Our strategy is to liberate all Palestinian soil," Zahar said, referring to the West Bank, Gaza and Israel.


Hassan Youssef, the top Hamas official in the West Bank, said Friday the group could accept creation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza and a long-term truce with Israel, signaling a possible new overture to end hostilities.

3. Well, you can

fool all of the people some of the time, and, they say, some of the people all of the time. Other people, after being lied to once or twice, can actually learn to discount whatever the liars have said. As somebody said recently, there is nothing to be learned in the second kick of a mule. The Israelis have been some of the slowest learners in the world, and have received many mule kicks. They are finally learning, so maybe the guy was wrong.

4. And yet.....

they just throw out a line , and some look at these organized murderers as "choir boys"....forgetting the path of destruction they left in their wake.

Yup, lets hear it for hamas.

9. pigheadedness is no excuse

I think that the "mule kicks" you refer to are a belittlement of the hundereds of innocent Israelis murdered by terrorism.

7. You're right again, Doc.

This formula has worked so well for them in the past, why change it now. The sickest part of it is that the rest of the muslim world has utilized the palestinians scapegoat methods as a rallying cry for even more destruction. When will we learn???

6. Hamas needs no truce

they will win either way.

Demographics don't lie, and American presidents can only send troops to die in Arab countries, not non-Arab occupied others...
