Now that the Palestinians will soon have the Gaza strip back, one might think Hamas would relax and live in peace. I saw an interview with Mahmoud Zahar, a Hamas Leader. Look at these choice quotes:
“Therefore, we will not take over the Gaza Strip and live there peacefully while the Zionist enemy is detaining thousands of our sons and occupying the West Bank. The resistance must move to the West Bank to expel the occupation.”
“…We do not and will not recognize a state called Israel.”
“We are against any economic cooperation with Israel.”
“Let Israel die.”
“We will enter (Gaza) and sully the dignity of Israel with our feet. We will stand on the ruins of the Israeli settlements and tell our people we have prevailed. This is nonnegotiable.”
Does anybody else recognize this as anti-semitism? I realize that the Arabs have been against Israel for centuries, but the thing that bothers me is that a lot of liberals in the US and Europe support the anti-Israel movements. I have no idea why, but they do.
I wish Mahmoud Zahar would say more stuff like this quote:
“The land of the evacuated settlements should serve as the lungs for the economy to breathe. Schools, playgrounds, agriculture and industry should be established on this land.”
