In a three-part interview with Kuwaiti podcaster Amar Taki, posted during the second week of January 2024, Khaled Mashal, the leader of Hamas abroad, rejected the two-state solution. He said that there is a consensus among Palestinians that they will not give up their rights to Palestine from the Mediterranean River to the Mediterranean Sea. Mashal said that October 7 has renewed this dream and hope and shown that it is a realistic idea, not merely a dream. He stated that taking control of the Gaza Strip following the 2006 elections was necessary in order to build up the resistance, its weapons production, and tunnels, without any hindrance from the Palestinian Authority.
Khaled Mashal: "Even some of our supporters were worried that ruling [Gaza] would change us. They did not realize that coming to power was a necessity, in order to serve the people and to protect the resistance. It provided a political and administrative cover in all the [Palestinian] institutions, and gave the resistance a free hand to operate. We have used our rule [of Gaza] to build up the resistance with all its means – the weapons, the weapons production, the planning, the training, and the tunnels – while our backs were safe. In other words, there was no security coordination, no Palestinian Authority to persecute us…"
Interviewer: "No one to stab you in the back…"
Mashal: "Hamas did not set its eyes on ruling [Gaza]. Hamas was looking for a ruling authority that would [serve] the resistance. Authority under occupation is a mistake. That was the first mistake of the Oslo accords. But since this authority has become, since 1994, fait accompli, due to the Oslo Accords, Hamas's philosophy when it entered the 2006 elections, was [that] we wanted to subordinate this authority, which was already a fact on the ground, to the service of the people and of the resistance, and this is what happened. As soon as we won the 2006 elections, we captured the Israeli soldier [Gilad] Shalit, and the prisoner swap deal was in 2011. This was practical evidence that Hamas had subordinated its rule [of Gaza] to the service of the resistance, rather than giving up the resistance for the sake of this authority.
"People are saying now that the October 7 war has opened a new horizon for a vision of a political settlement. Here, they pull out their old 'merchandise' of the two-state solution. I would like to say two things about the two-state solution. First, we have nothing to do with the two-state solution. We reject this notion, because it means you would get a promise for a [Palestinian] state, yet you are required to recognize the legitimacy of the other state, which is the Zionist entity. This is unacceptable. We demand to be liberated, to get rid of the occupation, and to have our independence, and our state. [Israel] is my enemy. It is not my concern."
Interviewer: "What 'state' are you talking about?"
Mashal: "A Palestinian state."
Interviewer: "What Palestinian state?"
Mashal: "Obviously, the position of Hamas, and the position of the vast majority of the Palestinian people, especially following October 7, I believe that the dream and the hope for Palestine from the River to the Sea, and from the north to the south, has been renewed. This has also become a slogan chanted in the U.S., and in western capital cities, by the American and Western public.
"'Palestine from the River to the Sea' - that's the slogan of American students, and the [students] in European capital cities. Our Palestinian enterprise, on which there is almost a Palestinian national consensus…Even if some people must voice a different opinion, due to political constraints…
"The Palestinian consensus - or almost a consensus – is that we will not give up on our right to Palestine in its entirety, from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea, and from Rosh HaNikra to Eilat or the Gulf of Aqaba.
"In order to establish a common ground, and a joint Palestinian plan with the other Palestinian with the other Palestinian forces, and in line with the other Arab position. Hamas agreed to a completely independent [Palestinian] state, with the 1967 borders, with Jerusalem as its capital, with the right of Return included – without recognizing the legitimacy of the Zionist entity.
"This position was meant to facilitate Palestinian and Arab agreement at this stage, but without relinquishing any of our rights or any part of our land, and without recognizing Israel. Our vision remains unchanged.
"I believe that October 7 has enhanced this conviction, has narrowed the disagreements, and has turned the idea of liberating Palestine from the River to the Sea into a realistic idea that has already begun. It is not something [merely] to be expected or hoped for. It is part of the plan, part of the agenda, and we are standing on its threshold, Allah willing."
It never died. They train their kids to hate Israelis like
monkeys and dogs, from birth. They train their kids in
grade school to think of killing Israelis. They make
them proficient with weapons of war from a very early age.
Who is the real threat to those kids. The adults in the
region. Sad.
“That step will be the catalyst for complete annihilation of Israel and millions more. “
I’m hanging my hat on the peg of the nation of Israel being around long after we’re gone.
stop screwing around and get rid of the Fakestinian Arab terrorists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perfect solution: kill Khaled Mashal abroad.
-fJRoberts-
Yes.
I was about to post this.
I think Doha should be leveled.
We know what side you’re on, lowlife.
“ As I heard it explained,”
In a moron to moron talk.
He’s a psycho.
Supports Islamos and Chicoms and Putin.
These freaks post here now.
But Blinky and Brandon and Gut Terace will keep pushing for it. It’s all they know how to do.
Beat me to it.
This Bozo won’t be affected by any bombing. He’s poolside at a resort hotel in Qatar somewhere.
I visited a lecture yesterday by a holocaust survivor. He said the solution to the Hamas problem was “kill them all”
“From the river to the sea nary a 7th century goat Casanova Hamas there should be”......
Hamastanis are rabid, feral, brainwashed zombies hard wired to kill Israelis, Jews, Christians, Americans, Western sympathizers- That is anyone who does not bow down to a serial killing pedophile from the 7th century. Dresden their jihadist ass
GOOD! The IDF can keep exterminating these savages.
Alrighty then.
Wipe him out.
10/7 proved that Hamas is about to be defunct and “Palestinians” leadership has doomed its people to a life of cavemen. Well played!
Sounds like a green light for Bibi to eliminate the muzzies from river to sea then.
It’s a shame you weren’t around to advise the Brits back in the seventies. You could have had all of those guilty Irish Catholic school children bombed to hell over the horrific IRA attacks that those kids were responsible for. Yessir, you could have shown those 25,000 terrorist Irish children what for as you had them all murdered.
We know what side you’re on, as usual, the baby killing, neocon Uniparty side. You never disappoint. If they’re killing innocent civilians somewhere, that wrench appears in your pocket again.
