Hamas: Negotiating on "Jewish state" conspiracy to liquidate Palestine cause
Hamas: Negotiating on "Jewish state" conspiracy to liquidate Palestine cause
[ 14/11/2007 - 05:08 PM ]

GAZA, (PIC)-- The PA leadership's negotiation with Israel in Annapolis on the basis of accepting a "Jewish state" in return for a Palestinian state would constitute a serious plot to liquidate the Palestine cause, a senior Hamas leader said on Wednesday.

Dr. Salah Al-Bardawil, spokesman of Hamas's parliamentary bloc, asserted that the Israeli president's talk about a "Jewish state" was "very serious" because it would practically mean that such a state was entitled to expel one and half million Palestinians living in the 1948 occupied lands.

It also means that none of the six million Palestinian refugees living in the diaspora are entitled to return to their homeland and that Jerusalem would be prohibited before all Palestinians.

Israeli president Shimon Peres had said during an address at the Turkish parliament on Tuesday that negotiations at the Annapolis conference would be based on Palestinian recognition of a "Jewish state" in return for recognizing a Palestinian state.

Bardawil affirmed that Hamas would never allow such a step to materialize, warning the PA leadership that accepting such a condition would be "political suicide".

Jewish state means more expulsions

What many of us do not understand is that accepting Israel as " the country for the Jews" means more expulsions. What would happen in if demography allows the Arabs to catch up with its population the number of Jews in Israel? In order to keep Israel as the country for the Jews means that if the demographic bombs explodes more Arabs are to be expelled in order to keep Israel as the country for the Jews, as it makes no sense at all to call Israel" the country for the Jews" when its population has non-Jewish majority. Therefore expulsion will have to take place with the blessing of the Palestinians who accepted the principle in the first place. Of course it goes without saying that it will also means the end of the right of return.
