Blessing In Disguise For Hamas, Says Azzam Tamimi
SAYS Tamimi: “The turmoil in the region could have been averted in January 2006 if – after Hamas won the elections – Israel and the US had acknowledged the new reality and agreed to deal with Hamas rather than its losing rival. Voices in Israel, especially those of retired generals and former politicians, can be heard from time to time advising the Israeli establishment to come to terms with reality and negotiate a ceasefire with Hamas. It seems unlikely that this will happen any time soon.”
Says a voice on the Guardian’s forums:
“Of course the author and the leftie useful idiots who will undoubtly exclaim their delight and approval of this tosh will forget how Hamas dealt with Fatah when they seized control of Gaza.
Those cuddly warriors of Hamas entered into negotiations with Fatah and when they didn’t like Fatah replies in true acts of peaceful negotiation threw the Fatah “delegates” off the roof of the hospital.
There was of course the collecting Fatah delegates from their houses entering into negotiation and when not agreeing with the Fatah position in the true spirit of peace murdering the Fatah delegate.
The only thing that the author is correct about is that Israel cannot destroy Hamas. That will only occur when the left and its Islamist allies apply the usual standards applied to the rest of the civilised world to Hamas and insists it stops its murderous , sexist, homophobic , racially motivated campaign of terror.”
