Hamas threatens third intifada
Damn, I missed the end of Intifada II, Gut Grumble in Gaza. I gotta get better sources.Hamas political leader Khaled Meshaal has warned of a third intifada unless there is an international agreement for a Palestinian state with 1967 borders within six months. Gimme a State! We were elected! "We give the international community six months for real political horizons... There is a historic opportunity for a Palestinian state within 1967 borders," Mr Meshaal said in Cairo. Think of the killing and broken promises and hatred as an opportunity! "Our national demands, and these are not the demands of Hamas, are the end of the occupation, the creation of a Palestinian state within 1967 borders without settlements, big or small, real sovereignty over and under the territory," he said. We were elected! "We reject what others have proposed, such as phases or phased negotiations, declarations of principles," he added. We were elected! "All Palestinian forces have agreed unanimously to a state within 1967 borders. Arab States have also agreed to this position," he said. There you have it - all the best minds have made their views known. And we were elected! "Seize this opportunity," he said in comments addressed to the international community. "We will not be patient for longer than we have been." Get in on the ground floor. Don't miss it. We have been patient, but for not much longer than we have been! Our patience is limited to the patience we have shown, uh, patience for. Parse it - it makes sense, in a Paleo sort of way. "If our demands are not met, the Palestinian people will close all political files and launch a third intifada. The conflict will be open and the victory in this conflict will be ours,'' he said. And you know what that means, right? We will seethe like never before! March around like never before! Fire our rockets and blow up rocks like never before! You will bow before our power. Shock and Awe II! Mr Meshaal, who is based in Damascus, has been holding talks with Egyptian officials in Cairo on the problems facing the formation of a Palestinian unity government and securing a prisoner swap deal with Israel. I am based in Damascus because, uh, um, because I want to be! Posted by: .com 2006-11-25 |
