Elder of ZiyonHamas accepts Israel with 1967 bordersReally? Haniyeh accepted Israel?
Ismail Haniyeh, the deposed prime minister of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, yesterday said his movement accepts a Palestinian state alongside Israel with its 1967 borders with full sovereignty and Jerusalem as its capital.“We welcome any push for achieving this dream if there is a real plan for resolving the Palestinian issue,” Haniyeh said in a news conference with visiting former US President Jimmy Carter here.
Let's see how Ma'an reported it:
De facto Palestinian Prime Minister Isma’il Haniyeh said on Tuesday he would support any real proposal to establish an independent and sovereign Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with Jerusalem as its capital.He doesn't say he accepts Israel, just that he has no problem with a Palestinian Arab state in the territories.
Haniyeh’s comments came during a joint press conference in Gaza City with former US president Jimmy Carter. “I will exert pressures towards realizing this dream,” said Haniyeh.
We've seen this charade before, where Hamas supposedly is compromising by saying that they wouldn't stand in the way of a Palestinian Arab state but saying nothing about accepting Israel - fully knowing that wishful-thinking idiots will fill in the blanks for him.
Palestinian Arabs, however, know quite well that Haniyeh would never accept Israel. Palestine Today in Arabic reports it this way:
The President of the Government of Ismail Haniyeh, Gaza Strip on Tuesday said that he supports a Palestinian state in territories occupied by Israel in 1967, without mentioning that he recognizes Israel's right to exist, something Hamas rejects.No doubt some Western news outlets will be trumpeting Haniyeh's statement as if he said he accepts Israel's existence, and nothing could be further from the truth.
Elder of Ziyon(Jan.3) - Aqsa TV cameraman Omar Abdel-Hafiz Silawi (28 years) was killed in Beit Lahiya city (GS) after Israeli forces shelled Dr. Ibrahim Makadmeh mosque. His colleague Ibrahim Muslim said that they were covering the Israeli bombing in that area throughout the day, in particular, Kamal Adwan field hospital and the nearby areas. Silawi was filming and transferred videos to the place where the TV was broadcasting, then he transferred his wife to the hospital to give birth, then returned to take his camera and went to the mosque, which is 100m away from the hospital, and when it was bombed, he was seriously injured. “When I saw him on a stretcher sometimes I was filming him and sometimes helping they race him to the hospital,” said his colleague. “I was crying. They tried to treat him but without results. Our comfort is that his wife gave birth safely to a son.”A very sad story indeed. But only part of the story.
The al-Qassam fighter/martyr Omar Sailawi was born in the Saudi Arabia on the twenty-ninth of the month of September 1981. Although he was born away from his homeland "Palestine", but he was carrying in his heart and love her passion. [He moved to Gaza later - EoZ]Yes, this "journalist" was an active member of the Hamas terrorist Al Qassam Brigades, a fact that no journalist advocacy group admits and that PCHR cannot seem to mention - although Hamas happily claims him as an honored member and martyr.
Omar Sailawi joined the ranks of the Islamic Resistance Movement - Hamas - since his return to the homeland, after his commitment in a mosque in al-Bashir, has begun to receive at the hands of advocates of the movement many religious lessons and courses to become one of the sons of the Muslim Brotherhood Muslims.
The martyr Omar - may God have mercy on him - joined the ranks of the Mujahidin of al-Qassam Brigades in 2004, after selflessly giving in to the demand and urgency to the leadership of Hamas for the organization in the ranks of the mujahideen, so pleased Almighty God to join him, for after being noticed for his the honesty and sincerity.
During the struggle within the ranks of the Mujahidin-Qassam Brigades, the martyr Omar - may God have mercy on him - participated in many Jihad tasks tasks, including:
* Participated in the processing of many of the explosives and mines, which were aimed at Israeli jeeps and tanks.
* Participated in the excavation and processing of tunnels and trenches.
* Participated in repelling the invasions of Zionism, which was aimed at the eastern region of the Jabaliya camp.
* Fired several mortar shells and Qassam rockets at the Zionist settlements and sites.

Elder of ZiyonFive Palestinian factions exiled in Damascus said yesterday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech the night before was “tantamount to a declaration of war on Palestinians’ national rights.”If the plight of Palestinian Arabs is so dire, wouldn't you think they would try to compromise and find a solution? What kind of leader asks his people to be patient - for decades, no less - and remain in a stateless limbo rather than work towards any sort of independence?
In a statement sent to reporters in Damascus, the groups said that Netanyahu’s speech “ignored the Palestinian people’s right to an independent state with full sovereignty, the right of Palestinian refugees to return to the homes they fled in 1948, and declared his government’s continued policy to expand settlements in the West Bank under the mask of ‘natural growth’.”
Netanyahu’s policy is “a sure-fire recipe for ... new threats to security, peace and stability,” the statement said. “It is tantamount to a declaration of war on Palestinians’ national rights.”
The groups said they would “patiently continue to struggle for their national rights against the Zionist Entity’s policy of aggression” until Palestinians were able to return to their homes and had an independent state “with Jerusalem as its capital.”
They said they would refuse to meet with “the Zionist enemy...”They further called on the “international community” to pressure Netanyahu to abide by international resolutions.
The five factions that signed the statement were the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Palestinian People’s Party, the Palestinian National Liberation Movement and the Palestinian Popular Struggle Front.

Elder of ZiyonAL-BUKAIRIYAH: Talk about running grocery store errands with panache! According to a report in yesterday’s Arabic daily Shams, a number of locals in this town in Qassim province are upset over a Saudi Army pilot’s decision to fly a helicopter to the grocery store, landing the aircraft on an empty lot nearby. Eyewitnesses told the paper that this is the third time the pilot has gone to the grocery store by whirlybird. Others also said the man buzzes a local girl’s college. The Saudi Army had no comment on the incidents.In any normal army, a single incident like that would be enough to severely punish the pilot.
Elder of ZiyonWe are promising Palestinian terror the greatest prize of all – the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Today most of the Israeli public realizes that a Palestinian state under Arafat would be a bastion of terror directed at the destruction of the State of Israel.
But what about a Palestinian state without Arafat, under different leadership, after the Tanzim and the Al-Aqsa Brigaes have seemingly undergone reforms and become transparent, more responsible, under a different command?
What will happen then? Okay – let’s talk about this latest illusion.
The question is whether in a future settlement, the Palestinians would indeed enjoy self-rule. I, for one, have no desire whatever to rule over even a single Palestinian.
The question is whether we can agree that they have sovereign authority, power that goes beyond self-rule, which every country has. This power would include:
the right to have full control over borders, through which they could import unlimited arms and solders. States control their own air space – a Palestinian state would have the right to shoot down any Israeli plane overflying it without permission. States have the right to make military alliances with other countries – a Palestinian state would have the right to make such alliances with Syria, Iraq, Libya, ets. States control the water sources underground – a Palestinian state would have the right to control the mountain aquifer which supplies about 30 percent of Israel’s water and most of our drinking water. Even those who support the establishment of a Palestinian state are unwilling under any circumstances to give this power to the Palestinians. But the moment we agree to give them a state, that is exactly what we would be giving them!
It must be understood that sovereignty has its own power. Even if an agreement limiting certain sovereign rights were signed, within a short time, this Palestinian state would demand to have all these rights and would realize them, whether we agreed or not.
The world would not stand in the way of allowing the Palestinian state to appropriate all this authority, which would give it the power to destroy the State of Israel, but it would stand in our way if we tried to prevent it from realizing these rights.
Already today, under Arafat’s limited regime, the Palestinian are in wholesale violation of the restrictions they committed to in the Oslo agreements. ...
And when we enter Area A to fight against terror, as is our right according to the agreements, the entire world is scandalized (Look what happened in Jenin!). Now imagine what would happen if there were a state there, that we agreed to, a state whose borders the entire world recognized.
If we agreed to such a state, we would be shackling the Israeli army in iron chains of our own making, thus creating a danger to our very existence.
In any future agreement, if and when we get that far, I see self-rule in which the Palestinians will have the freedom to rule themselves. But to establish a state, with everything that that concept entails, with all the powers I have enumerated, which would endanger Israel’s existence – that no.
Not under Arafat or under any other leadership. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever. The Palestinians can have full rights – with the exception of one: the right to destroy the State of Israel!
Self-rule – yes! A state – no!
We are told that a Palestinian state is the vision of the future. Okay, our nation also has a vision for the future: “And the wolf will lie down with the lamb” and when that vision is realized in the Middle East, we will be willing to discuss the subject once again.
...
Dear friends, let me say this once again loud and clear: There will not be a Palestinian state west of the Jordan.
If we leave here tonight without making a decision on this matter, if we waffle or waver, not only will we not stop the rushing train of the Palestinian state, we will be stoking its fires and increasing its speed.
Because such an outcome would have only one interpretation: that the Likud has backed off from its own positions and given in to the dictate of the establishment a Palestinian state.
That must not happen.
From here, we must send out a message loud and clear to the entire world.
We must vote as one in favor of the proposal opposing the establishment of a Palestinian state.
We must not be frightened if the international community does not see eye to eye with us on these matters. Did the international community foresee the danger of the Holocaust? And when it finally opened its eyes, did it do anything to stop it? Did it as much as lift a finger?
Did it see the danger posed to our survival from the atomic reactor in Iraq? And when it did, did it not condemn us when Menachem Begin’s Likud government bombed that destructive facility from the air?
On matters vital to our survival, we have always taken resolute steps, and we have always spoken clearly, even when many others in the world did not agree with us.
Because, ultimately, the historical accounts are clear: Yes to a Palestinian state means no to a Jewish one. And yes to a Jewish state means no to a Palestinian one.

Elder of ZiyonA top Palestinian official dismissed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s policy speech as “a zero” on Sunday.
Yasser Abed Rabbo, the secretary of the Palestine Liberation Organization Executive Committee, said the speech was empty of any content and pointless.
He explained that the speech would impede any progress toward a balanced peace settlement. He said Netanyahu is "a swindler, a fraud, and a liar who makes up tricks [about] achievement of this peace."
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said that he would not resume negotiations with Israel until all construction in the settlements is stopped.
Meanwhile, chief PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat said those who know the Israeli mentality should not be surprised to hear such a speech. He called on the Arab world to take the right stance toward the speech by freezing the Arab Peace Initiative.
