Something for the appeasement crowd
By way of Little Green Footballs, here’s the Hamas view of how to respond to the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, courtesy of Hamas political bureau chief, Khaled Mashaal:
The implementation of the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip marks “the beginning of the end for Israel,” said Hamas political bureau chief, Khaled Mashaal.
Speaking to al-Hayat newspaper, Mashaal was quoted as saying on Tuesday that the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip as “the beginning of the end for the Zionist program in the region.”
The Hamas leader reiterated the movement’s commitment to the calm with Israel until the end of the current year, but added the “resistance is a strategic choice, because the withdrawal from Gaza is the first step in the way to complete liberation.”
The Damascus-based official stressed that “Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon wants the Gaza exit to be the first and last, and the payment for the continued control in the West Bank, settlement construction, wall construction, and the annulment of any possibility of establishing a Palestinian state within the framework of the Zionist project to end the Palestinian issue with the unlimited US support,” adding "We, however, see the withdrawal as first step for full liberation and achieving all of our legitimate rights. Today Gaza and tomorrow the West Bank and later every inch of the land."
OK boys and girls, there you have it: there is no meeting terrorists halfway, there is no live and let live with terrorists, there is no reasonable accommodation to be made. The appeasers are dead wrong, as they always have been throughout history.
"Today Gaza and tomorrow the West Bank and later every inch of the land."
