PA's terrorists rulers say no chance of peace--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marking the "catastrophe" (al-nakba) of Israel's rebirth as a sovereign nation on its ancient soil, the Hamas rulers of the Palestinian Authority Monday urged their constituents to stay the course of jihad.
In an official statement, Hamas said "modern history has never seen a crime equal" to Israel's reestablishment.Hamas looked to stir further hatred for Israel's Jews by claiming their homecoming had been accompanied by the eviction of some 700,000 Palestinian Arabs, when in reality the vast majority of those "refugees" left voluntarily at the urging of regional Arab leaders, who had promised a quick victory over the Zionists.
(It is also a matter of historical record that 800,000 Jews were forced to flee Arab states as a result of the establishment of Israel. In this way a de facto population exchange took place. While nascent Israel had to, and did, absorb the vast majority of these refugees, the much larger and wealthier Arab states refused to take in their own. Furthermore, unlike the poverty-stricken Arab refugees, the Jews were forced to leave business and property worth untold millions behind in the lands from which they were driven.)
The PA statement said that until Jerusalem allowed every one of those so-called "refugees" and their descendants - purported to be some four million people - to take up residence in Israel thereby destroying the Jewish state, there could be no talk of peace.
"The right of the return of the Palestinian refugees and the refusal to negotiate it is something that we must not retreat from, no matter what the circumstances. All talk of an agreement or negotiations is not acceptable as long as the return of the refugees has not occurred."
So long as Israel fails to meet that hostile demand, the "Palestinians" must remain committed to slaughtering Jewish men, women and children in acts of barbarous terrorism at every opportunity, insisted Hamas.
"The resistance - all forms of the struggle - is a legitimate right as long as the conqueror sits on Palestinian land... All talk of stopping the resistance or of its illegality is unacceptable..."
"...the commemoration of the Nakba and its grave consequences teach us that we must adhere even more strongly to the Jihad, to resistance, to the strong stand, and to the non-concession of the right of return, self-definition and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with its capital in Jerusalem."
