Read the Hamas Charter!
Then you will find little reason to expect anyone to negotiate with these people. It is pointless.
But then it is not just Jews they want to eliminate. Everyone that will not submit to the rule of Islam. Read that as, We are next! Meaning the US population.
Article Eight: The Slogan of the Hamas
Allah is its goal, the Prophet its model, the Qur’an its Constitution, Jihad its path and death for the case of Allah its most sublime belief.
"Hamas has been looking forward to implement Allah’s promise whatever time it might take. The prophet, prayer and peace be upon him, said: The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them); until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! there is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him!"
"There is no solution to the Palestinian problem except by Jihad. The initiatives, proposals and International Conferences are but a waste of time, an exercise in futility."
You can not expect the Israels to make peace with these guys, can you?
"Jihad becomes a duty binding on all Muslims. In order to face the usurpation of Palestine by the Jews, we have no escape from raising the banner of Jihad. This would require the propagation of Islamic consciousness among the masses on all local, Arab and Islamic levels. We must spread the spirit of Jihad among the [Islamic] Umma, clash with the enemies and join the ranks of the Jihad fighters."
When I listen to many on this board and across the nation, it appears many "Umma" are joining the ranks of the Jihad, including our own President and his cabinet. I wonder if they have read the Hamas Charter? I know the President has read the "Beautiful Qur'an" as he calls it. Remember the Qur'an is to be your new Constitution. I doubt the Jews will accept it but I am not so sure about many of my countrymen.
Here is the essence of why this war continues for 66 years now, with no end in sight. No President has been able to change the situation, and I don't see any possibility of a future President doing any different. The current status must be endured for as long as you can predict or the final battle must begin and won before and end will come.
" For our struggle against the Jews is extremely wide-ranging and grave, so much so that it will need all the loyal efforts we can wield, to be followed by further steps and reinforced by successive battalions from the multifarious Arab and Islamic world, until the enemies are defeated and Allah’s victory prevails. Thus we shall perceive them approaching in the horizon, and this will be known before long: “Allah has decreed: Lo! I very shall conquer, I and my messenger, lo! Allah is strong, almighty.”"
Big mistake for the Israels to have given up Gaza to these people.
Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them), this is Hamas, the PLO, and Islam.
