- The
idea that Hamas would disarm and stop digging tunnels and hand the
Gaza Strip on a silver platter to Abbas and Fatah is pure fantasy.
- Westerners
are either ignorant and naïve or they are willfully deluding
themselves.
- Hamas
simply cannot accept a situation where it is being asked to accept
the so-called two-state solution....As made clear by the Hamas
leaders, their goal remains to seek the "liberation of all of
Palestine, from the [Mediterranean] sea to the [Jordan] river."
This is Hamas's mantra.

For more than two months, the Hamas-Fatah
"reconciliation" agreement that was reached in Cairo in
October has been hailed by many Arabs and Westerners as a sign that the
Palestinians were finally marching forward together.
It turns out, however, that the dramatic announcement of
the agreement, which was reached with the sponsorship of the Egypt, was
all a bluff.
Those in the know about the Palestinian world predicted
that the latest "reconciliation" deal would fail. At least
five previous agreements between Hamas and Fatah, reached under the
auspices of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Yemen over the past ten years,
likewise failed. Every one of these agreements was stillborn, not worth
the time it took to uncap the pen.
