Britain is set to back down in the face of Hamas' refusal to recognise Israel. The fools are backing a proposal to set up a trust fund to pay the salaries of PA employees with the rationale that this won't take the pressure off Hamas to actually do something about their murderous policies but will rather undercut their "street cred". I think I can actually hear Hamas quaking in their boots.
At the same time, Hamas is in the process of setting up a militia, in direct defiance of Mahmoud Abbas. Amongst the goals of this new militia are seizing back illegally taken public land and disarming segments of the population. So are not to cause any concern a spokesman pointed out they won't be disarming anyone fighting against Israel-
"We want to end the chaos of weapons," he said. "The only ones who will be allowed to carry weapons are the policemen who are in charge of law and order and members of the resistance groups who are confronting Israeli aggression."
And the PA Interior Minister also said that they would-
"turn the table over the heads of all those who are trying to foil the Hamas cabinet." Addressing supporters in Khan Yunis, he reiterated his Hamas's refusal to recognize Israel's right to exist. "We can't accept the existence of the criminals, executioners and murderers on our blessed lands," he said. "We won't change our position."
Gee, not even if the UK bails you out of your financial difficulties and ruins your street cred?
Another Hamas official threatened that international sanctions would lead to a third intifada-
"This time it will be a regional intifada which will change the balance of power in the region."
And then there was this directed at George Bush-
"We will chop off the head of anyone who tries to bring down our cabinet. The US wants us to succumb and become its slaves, but we won't give in because we are free and sovereign."
