QUESTION & THOUGHTFUL ANSWER BY Peter Lake He [Abbas] needs the world to win independence for his nation, and in the eyes of the world, Hamas, with whom he just joined forces, is anathema. - Larry Derfner In your answer, please make reference to and define 1) the world 2) independence 3) Abbass nation 4) Hamas 5) whose CAGE Larry is rattling Remarkably loaded statement. Thanks for sifting through and identifying it: 1. The only world to which Hamas is an anaethema consists of: a) People who believe that there is a need (based on the last century) for an exclusive Jewish state and that justifies the creation of millions of innocent refugees. b) People who reject all kinds of religious fundamentalism... except their own. c) Governments who form their policies on the basis of Right Wing extremist lobbyists such as AIPAC. Through peaceful but firm resistance, Palestine (not Abbas) is rapidly gaining support in the only world that really counts in the long run... the world of people. As the AIPACs of the world are exposed they will weaken. 2. Derfner implies that Abbas can gain an independant state of Palestine under the current paradigm. About as possible as for the Apartheid Bantustans of South Africa. The possibility for the two independant state solution was killed off completely over the last 20 years. Independance will come with a secular Palestinian state of Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, atheists etc. 3. Abbas does not have a nation until there are fair and free elections. This can start with a coalition of the two ruling parties ... as a vehicle to establishing a constitutional secular democracy and using your right to take your cases to the international courts. 4. Hamas is like the IRA in Ireland of the 70s and 80s. They have a political wing with which one can and SHOULD talk. To refuse to talk to someone you perceive as an enemy is to remove all possiblity of a reasonable solution. This has been demonstrated time and again in the 20th and 21st centuries. 5. Remarkable to see this pro Netanyahu/Likud/coalition statement from this man. He should know better.
