| Israel wants demilitarised Palestine |
| 2006-09-15 |
| Imtiaz Gul, the first ever Pakistani journalist to visit Israel, on Thursday described how threat perception had shaped the Israeli mentality and their foreign policy. "It is deeply embedded in their minds that there is threat all around," Gul said while giving his views at a programme, "Impressions and Observations", hosted by the South Asian Free Media Association (SAFMA). Gul, who was on an assignment, termed the experience from getting a visa to extreme security checks that he encountered in Israel as extremely annoying and scary. "It took me six months to get a visa and once I arrived in Tel Aviv, the security checks were intimidating but fortunately an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was there to receive us," he said. He said that Israel wanted a demilitarized Palestinian state and believed Hamas was committed to destroying them. "They want to have permanent borders on their own terms," he added. |

| #3 "It is deeply embedded in their minds that there is threat all around" Perhaps because their "neighbors" all around them have ACTUALLY ATTACKED THEM? "Israel...believed Hamas was committed to destroying them" Perhaps because Ham-ass SAYS THEY ARE? "They want to have permanent borders on their own terms" You mean like EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD? Where did this clown learn "journalism" - from the Western MSM? Idjit. |
