'Hamas to resist Israel ad infinitum'
2012-01-09
[Iran Press TV] The democratically-elected Paleostinian Prime Minister and Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, second-in-command, Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...
says the Paleostinian movement will never abandon its armed resistance against Israel.

Haniyeh made the remarks during an address to a gathering of thousands in the Tunisian capital of Tunis on Sunday.

The prime minister started a two-week-long visit to Moslem countries on December 25 and has so far toured Egypt, Sudan, and Turkey.

He arrived in Tunis on Thursday for a five-day-long visit and is also scheduled to travel to Qatar and Bahrain.

This is Haniyeh's first trip abroad since Hamas took control of the Paleostinian territory of the Gazoo Strip in 2007, having won the democratic parliamentary elections, which had been held a year earlier.

He promised difficult days ahead for Israel, citing Tel Aviv's struggle to cope with the Islamic Awakening -- the wave of popular uprisings in Middle East and North Africa, which broke out in Tunisia in January 2010.

The Paleostinian leader also asserted that Hamas would also continue to defend the Paleostinians' rightful claim to the Tel Aviv-occupied territories, including al-Quds (Jerusalem) -- the promised capital of any future Paleostinian state.

He received standing ovation from the crowd, who waved Paleostinian and Tunisian flags and shouted anti-Israeli slogans.

The speech had been organized by Tunisia's Islamic al-Nahda party, which recently won the country's parliamentary elections.

#2  Thus guaranteeing that they will continue to be poor, oppressed and downtrodden ad infinitum (or at least until they become extinct). Oh, except for their leaders who will live safely in the lap of luxury in Tunis, having abandoned Damascus because it's gotten a little too hot for them there lately and because, well, you wouldn't expect them to actually live in Gaza, would you?

#1  No. Just until you're extinct.
