RAMALLAH, West Bank — Seeking to calm critics of his reconciliation efforts with the militant Hamas group, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said Saturday the unity government he plans to head will renounce violence and recognize Israel.

Abbas, who rules in the West Bank, and Hamas, the fundamentalist Islamic movement that has controlled the Gaza Strip after ousting Abbas' forces in a brief armed battle in June 2007, reached an agreement on Thursday to reconcile their differences.

Israel strongly criticized the new pact and said it would not negotiate with a Palestinian government that included Hamas, which it and others consider a terrorist organization. The U.S. said it would talk with the new government only if it recognized Israel, renounced violence and accepted agreements reached with Israel.

Abbas criticized the Israeli position, saying that when there was a division between his backers and Hamas, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used to say that Abbas does not represent all Palestinians. And now that the West Bank and Gaza are about to reunite, Netanyahu says he will not negotiate with Abbas because he is working with Hamas.

The Israeli position is hypocritical and fucked!

The Israeli and U.S. posture toward Hamas is fundamentally self-contradictory. It involves saying that a certain form of behavior is unacceptable and then making impossible the use of alternative behavior. It involves saying that we don’t like a group because it has used violence instead of peaceful negotiations, and then refusing to negotiate with it.

This whole thing proves beyond the shadow of a doubt, Israel is the problem.

They basically did the same thing in 2006.

The same self-contradictory posture was exhibited in 2006, when Hamas did the most that any party could do to be accepted as a legitimate, peacefully installed representative of its people — it contested and won a free and fair election — but then Israel and the United States refused to recognize the election result. That not only contradicted the rationale for not talking to Hamas but also contradicted a supposed commitment to democracy.

And Israel should be careful when throwing around that "terrorist" label, because their whole country was born out of Jewish terrorism and their current ruling party was founded by a terrorist organization (Irgun).

there was a time when Israel was vehemently opposed to anyone even talking to the PLO, much less negotiating with it, and went as far as assassinating the organization’s representatives to try to keep the United States from talking to it. The birth of the state of Israel also included much terrorism, perpetrated by men who went on to become top leaders of Israel.

And lastly, Israel says it won't negotiate with Hamas, when, in fact, they do it all the time!

Hamas is said to be a “terrorist” organization and as such not an acceptable interlocutor for negotiations. (In fact, Israel has engaged in extensive and detailed negotiations with Hamas over exchanges of prisoners.)

 

[Billo_Really]

Why should they recognize Israel, when Israel won't recognize them?

Why Palestine of course, which will be no problem because there will be no one to send anything to. It would also mean that the Palestinians would no longer be observers at the UN

So you oppose the American POV that states they will never negotiate with terrorists

WTF are you talking about?

Hamas was elected in a free and fair election back in 2006.

If Hamas and Fatah tie the knot on their un-holy alliance that would eliminate their governments and a new one would have to be created, Mr. Trash Mouth. Henceforth, speak sensibly.

Why should they recognize Israel, when Israel won't recognize them?

Oslo remember when letters of mutual recognition were exchanged
