(58,724 posts)1. Hamas leader says group will never recognize Israel
A large crowd of Palestinians cheered a Hamas leader's pledge on Tuesday never to recognize Israel and celebrated the Islamist movement's 23rd anniversary at a Gaza rally punctuated by sonic booms from Israeli jets.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, whose group runs the Gaza Strip, said the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) headed by Western-backed President Mahmoud Abbas had made a "historic mistake" by recognizing Israel.
"We said it five years ago and we say it now ... we will never, we will never, we will never recognize Israel," Haniyeh told the gathering which some organizers said was attended by around 250,000 people.

Huh? The last government that wasn't right-wing was the one with Ehud Barak that lost in 2001.

Kadima was a right-wing party that was an offshoot from Likud, and any labor left-wing politics

I can't imagine how Kadima is even remotely similar to the US Democratic Party.

Being one step to the left of Likud's extreme right doesn't really make you centrist.

The reason why I don't want to discuss Jewish political attitudes is because it's a slippery slope

I'm not sure why you keep on brining up Hamas since I don't support them.

England and Europe are not responsible for 1,000,000 Iraqi dead. You're off the deep end once again.
