OK, let’s start with this news………….
US will fund Hamas Authority after all
After adamantly vowing to deny American funding to the Hamas terrorist organization, Washington at the weekend backtracked by saying it will not halt aid to the Palestinian Authority, but will merely attempt to redirect it to humanitarian works.
The Seattle Times quoted visiting US State Department envoy David Welch following his meeting with PA official in Ramallah:
“Washington continues] to be devoted to the humanitarian
needs of the Palestinian people and we shall remain so.”
Israel immediately recognized the scheme as doomed to failure, reported Israel’s Yediot Ahronot Hebrew daily.
Senior government officials like Defense Minister Sha’ul Mofaz and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni warned that even money placed directly in the hands of PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas is likely to end up in Hamas’ pockets.
And then of course this…. same day
Hamas leader lists terms for recognizing Israel
JERUSALEM-
The Palestinian prime minister-designate said Hamas is “ready to recognize” Israel if it gives the Palestinian people their full rights and a state in lands occupied since 1967, including the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Hamas chose Ismail Haniyeh as the new prime minister and he said……
“If Israel declares that it will give the Palestinian people a state
and give them back all their rights, then we are ready to recognize
them,” Haniyeh told The Washington Post
“Let Israel say it will recognize a Palestinian state along the 1967 borders,
release the prisoners and recognize the rights of the refugees to return to
Israel. Hamas will have a position if this occurs,” Haniyeh said.
I have said hundreds of times………..Arabs Lie, Lie, lie . They do not honor contracts and can never ever be trusted.
Now look at the lastest Bullcrap
Haniyeh says he wants truce, not peace with Israel-I did not say anything about recognizing Israel.
He says he was Misquoted!
Haniyeh: ‘Washington Post’ misquoted
The Palestinians’ incoming prime minister on Sunday said Hamas has no intention of seeking a peace agreement with Israel, distancing himself from a published interview in which he said the group is ready for a deal.
Ismail Haniyeh said Hamas is interested in a long-term truce, but does not seek peace with Israel. “I did not say anything about recognizing Israel,” Haniyeh said.
Addressing reporters Sunday, Haniyeh said his comments had been misunderstood. He said he was not referring to a peace agreement, only a “political truce.”
He also laid down a series of demands that Israel has ruled out, including a full withdrawal from all lands captured in 1967, the release of Palestinian prisoners and the return of several million Palestinian refugees and their descendants to Israel. “Then Hamas can grant a long-term truce,” Haniyeh said.
Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar said his movement would not cave in to pressure to recognize Israel. “Why should we recognize Israel?” he asked. “Has Israel recognized the Palestinian people or the right of return for the refugees?”

Oriana Fallaci, an Italian journalist, who is one of the few journalists in the world who dares to attack Islam and the fact that Europe has surrendered to terror, wrote a passage in her book Apocalypse that is appropriate for the struggle against the Arab enemy, and for the struggle against Islam.
“Resignation leads to apathy.
Apathy leads to inertia. Inertia leads to indifference.
Indifference paralyzes the instinct for self-defense,
that is, the instinct to fight back.”

Wild Thing’s comment….
I hope we do NOT give more money to the Palestinians. When one feeds the wolf one should have enough common sense to expect to be bitten. And I am concerned that Israel and America will be biten big time.
Three things:
Poor Oriana is (I think), being prosecuted in Italy under hate crimes legislation for speaking the truth about Islamism.
The “right to return” is equivalent to the end of Israel. Those three words are the same as “it’s not mine”, which is the response of every drug-heavy, crack-pipe carrying punk seen on “Cops”….or maybe “I was scared” or “why, I’m arrested?” or “I didn’t do it”. It’s BS.
Ariel Sharon unfortunately didn’t remain healthy long enough to write a book about his thinking about Israel’s withdral from Gaza. It’s important, because it was a recognition of reality, and a public acknowledgement of what everyone already knew:
The Arab/Palestinian/Israeli conflict had nothing do to with local issues or territory, it was a challenge to The West by an irredeemably disturbed pan-Arab set of ideas. A death cult challenging humanity’s right to life. For Israel, the only response to fight it was to kill it and/or build a wall to keep it out.
Hi Rhod, yes that is what is happening with Oriana. And she is also very physically ill right now. She spoke the truth and has been through a lot for it. Thank you for commenting about that.
You hit the nail on the head too about the Arab/
Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Well said!
An Israeli friend told me several years ago that the Palestinains could end the conflict any time by laying down their weapons. They will not be murdered and the Israelis will assist them in building a country of Palestine. However, it is not the same in reverse because if the Israelis lay down their arms they will be murdered and there will be no more Israel.
Just got my tax bill for 05 and even with tax “reductions” it floored me. Now I don’t mind my money buying .50cal ammo, or stores for the USS Ronald Reagan, or paying for studying our natural resources or helping the really needy. It makes me livid tho that we are paying extortion to any radical, hate-destroy America group such as Hamas. Will that money be used to buy WMDs and pay costs to get their people across our unsecured borders? Hell, it may be used to buy 1st class airfare so they can come in the front door as we seem to have little restriction on Moslem immigration.
Hi GUY, your Israeli is right. Thank you so much for sharing that and commenting.
Tom it is awful and you stated it exactly how it is and I hate it.
Like you said too, one day we might be paying for first class airfare to bring them in. sheesh
Thank you for commenting.
