hudna A time out in Islamic parlance, as many of us know by now, is a hudna, which is not a peace settlement but more of a cease fire while they lick their wounds and re-arm for the fight to come.
The interview is very revealing, but the reporter needs to bone up on his understanding of islamic words & their meanings. Hamas intends no PEACE accord with Israel, but in his own words is willing to discuss the conditions of a hudna. A hudna is not the same as PEACE in islam. Islam claims PEACE only when for muslims and that PEACE only comes with islamic rule of the world. They will be counting on the liberals of the world to help them. They tipped their hand in that they know already the world is beginning to lean towards them, their suffering, their victimhood, etc. They are going to be working very hard with propaganda about their oppression.
I agree with you. No peace is intended, only using negotiations to buy time and to gain any advantages they can.
Ultimately, those people will have to be destroyed. They are not a country, only amalgamations of gangs. At least now they have the facade of a country and can act as a government. That means their leaders can be destroyed as a government when they violate agreements or refuse to prevent others from doing so.
It is only a matter of when the provocation will occur.
However, a danger of their being a government is they can make agreements with other countries, like Russia or China, to come to their aid if they are attacked. That could get dicey.
