Hamas: Arab Peace Initiative 'threatens Palestinian interests'
Arutz Sheva ^ | 17/6/16 | Dalit Halevi

Hamas is rejecting the Arab Peace Initiative and calling on Arab countries to stop promoting it.

Mahmoud Al-Zahar, a member of Hamas' political bureau, on Thursday said the initiative is a threat to vital Palestinian interests.

In an interview with the Al-Arabi Al Jadid newspaper, Zahar called on Arab countries not to promote the Arab Peace Initiative, explaining that it is merely a mechanism that will eliminate the idea of ​​establishing a Palestinian state, due to the fact that negotiations with Israel have proven to be a failure.

The Arab peoples, Zahar continued, should first and foremost be concerned about the Palestinians before they seek peace with Israel.

But ... I thought that the Palestinians were the Jews... And that any Muslim that called themself a Palestinian was a secret Jew...oh wait ... That was the “talking points” 30 years ago. My bad.

The peace talks wouldn’t fail if the Arabs wouldn’t demand too much.

What exactly are the Paleostinians interests anyway?

Besides killing Jews and rejecting 2,689 Peace offers, deals, summits and the false creation of the Paleostinian Authority, (still basically the PLO), what more so they want?

Hint: Look at all their symbols, patches, flags, maps, posters, pins, decorations and logos. They all show the entire state of Israel as theirs. So where do people get off pushing this “two states, for two peoples” B.S.????

The West and Israel talk about this living side by side stuff yet, the Arabs rejected all proposals from 1917 to today.

What is their interest? Kill all the Jews and supplant the State of Israel with another failed nation state (like the rest of the Arab Muslim world) called Palestine.

What a crock of ______ running now for 100 years.

Oh, I think the peace initiative with Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan will work with Israel.

What the Palestinians NEVER understand is these other countries dont give a #### about them!!

And with Israel the only regional nuclear deterrent to Iran, those countries would rather see the Palestinians go away than Israel fall.

So you understand why peace is not in their interests. They don’t want peace. They want genocide. There is no negotiating with those interests.

I had to look this over a few times to make sure I correctly read Hamas gave the middle finger to the Arab states.

HAMAS will eventually impale themselves on their own stupidity, hopefully it will be the Gazans themselves that skewer them...

Nuclear deterrence is only effective if your enemy is as afraid to be annihilated as you. I don’t think the Iranians care very much. If they have to go up in a nuclear firestorm to get rid of the Jews from what I have seen most Iranians would gladly do it.

they had that uprising that obama completely and UTTERLY let them down when it happened.

I dont think the under 35 crowd wants this nonsense but the ones in charge, i think you’re right.

I dont now who i despise more, obama or the people who put him in office.

The so-called Arab peace initiative requires the so-called right of return — that the recently arrived Arabs who bailed in 1948 because the attacking Arab states told them to get out of the way while the Jews were annihilated can move back.

The fact is that they have never wanted to move back unless genocide is carried out, and that more than (probably far more) half of them have died (1948 being 68 years ago). The Arab plan is a humbug.
