Comments on: Say, EU, about that money to the pals… http://www.yourish.com/2006/12/08/2409 Cutting straight to the point Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:07:42 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Meryl Yourish http://www.yourish.com/2006/12/08/2409/comment-page-1#comment-23432 Meryl Yourish Sat, 09 Dec 2006 18:13:45 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/2006/12/08/2409#comment-23432 Anonmyous, when you can find him actually SAYING that, you can put forward that point. Because there is no evidence of any change in their attitude towards all of Israel, what with the phrase "usurper Zionist government" preceding his promise to battle until Jerusalem is "liberated." And when he says Jerusalem, he doesn't mean "East Jerusalem." Hamas has used the phrase "liberation of Jerusalem" many times before, except, of course, they never use the name "Jerusalem." To Muslims, the city is Al-Quds. Anonmyous, when you can find him actually SAYING that, you can put forward that point.

Haniyeh used the phrase "the liberation of Jerusalem" rather than "the liberation of Palestine". He's effectively saying, "We will never officially recognize Israel, but will stop fighting once we get Jerusalem back." (Whether Hamiyeh's sincere is another question...)

They understand it, problem is they agree with it. They can't let it show, though, or Israel might cut them off before their plans are complete. “Let me repeat: What part about (genocidal threats against Israel) do you not understand?”
