The Honesty Of Hamas

As Israel’s war against the terrorists of Hamas rages on, President Biden and the entire American foreign policy establishment (including the State Department and the Pentagon) are all saying that the only solution is the two-state solution. Well, they’ve got a big problem – and it’s not Bibi Netanyahu.

Here’s what Khaled Mashal, one of the primary leaders of Hamas, said in a recent interview:

"People are saying now that the October 7 war has opened a new horizon for a vision of a political settlement . . . two-state solution. I would like to say two things about the two-state solution.

“First, we [Hamas] have nothing to do with the two-state solution. We reject this notion because it means you . . . you are required to recognize the legitimacy of the other state, which is the Zionist entity. This is unacceptable. . .

“The position of Hamas, and the position of the vast majority of the Palestinian people, especially following October 7, [is] the hope for Palestine from the River to the Sea. . . This has also become a slogan chanted in the U.S., and in western capital cities, by the American and Western public. . .

“The Palestinian consensus . . . is that we will not give up on our right to Palestine in its entirety, from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea.”

So, there it is. Hamas fully intends to destroy Israel. How do you negotiate with that?

Yet, while Israeli soldiers are bravely fighting and dying (21 were killed yesterday), Joe Biden is busy trying to restrain Prime Minister Netanyahu and is telling him that “Hamas can’t be defeated.”

Biden wants Israel to surrender and give up more land, while the terrorists Israel is fighting are refusing to accept such a “solution.”
