Credit: Reuters/Khaled al-Hariri DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal has stated explicitly that the Palestinian Islamist group will end its armed struggle against Israel if the Jewish state withdraws from Palestinian land it occupied in the 1967 Middle East War. World Hamas, which refuses to recognize Israel, has long maintained that it will enter into a long-term truce if Israel pulls out of the West Bank and East Jerusalem and agrees to a right of return for millions of Palestinian refugees. Speaking on the Charlie Rose program on U.S. PBS television, Meshaal directly addressed the issue of armed resistance, which is the basis of its ideology as a national liberation movement. "Israel started (the conflict) by the occupation so the resistance is a reaction. The action is the occupation, and the reaction from the Palestinians is that it ends," Meshaal said, in an interview taped on Thursday, according to a transcript released by PBS. "So when the occupation comes to an end, the resistance will end, as simple as that. If Israel would go to the 1967 borders ... that will be the end of the Palestinian resistance." Meshaal said if a "Palestinian state with real sovereignty" were established under the conditions he set out, then the nature of any subsequent ties with Israel would be decided democratically by the Palestinians. Hamas has ruled Gaza since it won a brief civil war in 2007 against supporters of Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's more secular Fatah faction, creating a schism that has undermined the Palestinian cause. Hamas opposes the indirect peace talks started last month between the Palestinian Authority headed by Abbas and Israel, saying Abbas will compromise on national rights. The movement had said it could live peacefully alongside Israel if a two-state solution was reached in which all occupied Palestinian land was returned, even though its 1988 founding charter calls for the destruction of Israel and the establishment of a Palestinian state in all of pre-1948 British-mandate Palestine. (Editing by Kevin Liffey) World Comments See All Comments (8) | Post Comment May 30, 2010 5:49pm EDT Guess it’s time for israel to cause another outbreak of fighting to divert attention from their crimes against humanity, huh? Israel fools no one. They must be forced to do the decent thing by the world community. JoeyC1776 Report As Abusive May 30, 2010 6:15pm EDT Crimes against humanity, remember Gilad Shalit, huh? josh1981 Report As Abusive May 30, 2010 6:18pm EDT YES & Israel did attack it’s Arab neighbours, not the other way around. With enemies everywhere, now including the White House, Israel is supposed to depend on the word of a terrorist. Hamas sends thousands of rockets into Israel’s citizens & Vows to destroy her, as does Iran & Hezbollah. Sure give back all the land pre 1967 as a reward for trying to invade & drive the populace into the sea. jerryatric Report As Abusive May 30, 2010 6:46pm EDT Like in 1956 and 1967. The truth of the matter is that since 1963 Israel lost its ability to control the battlefield, and is diverting its fire power mainly towards civilians in Gaza. I can’t believe that the kidnapping of a soldier in an occupying army uniform is considered an an attack on a civilian… but Israeli logic is Israeli logic. Time is certainly running out, with Israel becoming the pariah among nations, as Professor Chomsky put it so succinctly. Its only recourse is its nuclear arsenal and if it actually turn to use it, as it will given the lunacy of its leaders, it will be the end of the state of Israel. It is, in the words of Seymore Hirsh: Samson’s Choice. One pities the Palestinians and the other Arabs under occupation, but would need to pity the Israeli people who are probably quite misled by their ruling ‘coalitions.’ Richard_Burton Report As Abusive May 30, 2010 9:16pm EDT This is for any of the people (obviously not any of the above) who care for facts. 1) The 1967 war started after numerous cross border raids into Israel, the massing of 1,000 Egyptian Tanks and 100,000 troops at the Israeli border, and the blockade of Israeli shipping. Israel launched a preemptive strike against Egypt and Jordan invaded Israel and Syria shelled Israel. 2) Hamas is engaging in double speak. The key to understanding this is the demand for the right of return for millions of Palestinians and the “demoncratic resolution”(approximately 9.7 million with 3.7 million in the West Bank and Gaza and 4.6 million already Israeli citizens — versus 5.1 million non-Palestinian Israelis. Do the math. The religious leaders of Hamas have actually called upon the Palestinians to wage war by overpopulating. 3) Hamas considers all of Israel an occupied territory. It is sworn to the total destruction of Israel, which it perceives as occupying Moslem lands. 4)No other country in the world has exhibited as much restraint as the Israelis when attacked. And no other country has given back lands taken in war for peace to the extent the Israelis have. The Palestinians are indeed pawns, of the religious fanatics and the politicians of the other Arab nations. Jordan attacked and expelled the Palestinians in its midst shortly after the 1968 war. The resolution comes only in the defeat of the religious fanatics who are sworn to destroy any non-Moslem presence in the middle east (and eventually the rest of the world) and to expose and eliminate the political machinations of the rest of the Countries of the World, jockeying for economic power and influence. Neither side is blameless, but the distortions of facts in some of the above comments are the rhetoric of hate used to prolong and fan the flames of this conflict. gemini51 Report As Abusive May 30, 2010 11:58pm EDT israeli government is full of crap, anyone who believes a single a word they say is a brain washed fool.even their own people are turning against them, we just don’t hear about. Israel has had a huge number of young people refuse from joining the IDF, that is why israeli government has made it a goal to go after ultra-orthdox, extremist, jewsih taliban right wingers. israeli government did not calculate how the mass social media, mass communication,would spread and over the last 10 years, millions of people saw what israel was hiding. the new apartheid. ISRAEL IS THE NEW APARTHEID sidrock23 Report As Abusive May 31, 2010 1:06am EDT sidrock, The more you rant and shout the more you reveal your lack of intelligence. Gemini51 has it right. An organization which kills its own people and dumps their bodies at the doorsteps of their homes for their families to collect because they “collaborate” with Israel (translate – they might just hate Hamas as much as the West Bank Palestinians do) are the people you expect Israel to trust? You just can’t stand the fact that Israel, the Jewish state, will not lie down and play dead. Sorry – it ain’t happening. Now would you please respond with capital letters again. It get’s me really excited and I’ll be up all night waiting for your ignorant comments. w70 Report As Abusive May 31, 2010 1:23am EDT crime me a river w70. I don’t care what u say. israel is a fraud, based on a fairy tale, that is good at killing women, children, elderly, anyone without carrying a gun. Hezbollah sent israel home back in 2006 crying and whinning. they have to beg and cry to the U.S for money, military aid, and help. and american coward politicans get on their knees for israel. if israel doesn’t want hezbollah or hamas around, they should’nt do what they do. israel came first, Hezbolla and hamas came first. in this case, the chicken did come before the egg.
