... practically speaking it wants a Palestinian state in all of mandatory Palestine.

Knowing that these clowns are both insane and delusional, what do you suppose that they mean by "madatory palestine"?

The original British mandate was intended to be equally divided between muslims and Jews.
The creation of Transjordan in 1921 completely destroyed the original intent, hence this "mandatory palestine" delusion is all the more puzzling.

I was curious about the "mandatory Palestine" reference as well. I've heard other Palestinians speak of the "1967 borders" as to where they would like Israel to retreat. I don't think either of them are telling the truth--they simply want Israel to disappear.

Puzzling? Seems that Hamas doesn't just want the land of Israel, but also to overthrow the Hashemite monarchy and take Jordan.
