Hamas: Israel Doesn’t Occupy Gaza

Mahmoud Zahar
Hamas confirms that Gaza’s not occupied by Israel. YNet News quotes Mahmoud Zahar:
“Popular resistance is inappropriate for the Gaza Strip,” al-Zahar said. “Against whom exactly would be rally? Such resistance would be fitting if Gaza was occupied.” However, he claimed that all forms of resistance – including the armed kind – are appropriate for the West Bank, as it is “still under occupation.”
- We knew it all along.
- Tell it to the flotilla movement.
- It undercuts the propaganda value of this week’s Ismail Haniyeh trip to Turkey, where Haniyeh met with Prime Minister Erdogan and visited the Mavi Marmara.
- If Robert Fisk, the Comment is Free crowd, and George Galloway are more Palestinian than Hamas, they’ll denounce Zahar as soft on the occupation. After all, that was their reaction to the PaliLeaks.
- The rockets will continue anyway.

I find it very inappropriate for HR to quote anything from Hamas. Does it really matter if Hamas state it’s Occupied or not, either way your giving them credit for what they’ve said.

Having a total change of heart- I now think (And I know its no use closing the stable door after the horse has bolted) that in 1967 Israel should have done what the warring counties in other parts of Africa have done-
They should have chased the refugees out of Gaza into Egypt and those in Judea and Samaria into Jordan-
And thats where the peace negotiations should have commenced from-!
