Hamas: No Place For Israel Among The Nations

Khaled Mashaal, head of Hamas’ political bureau, again proclaimed that “Palestine belongs to the Palestinians and there is no place in it for Israel.” He called on the Palestinian Authority not to rely on the United States because President Obama, especially after the midterm Congressional elections, “is weak and cannot do anything for the Palestinians.” He called for the “resistance” (i.e., terrorism) as an alternative to negotiations. He appealed to the United States, claimed that the “resistance” (i.e., the terrorist organizations) would not wait for the Americans, but “will restore Palestine with their own muscles, their strength and their reliance on Allah” (Al-Jazeera TV, November 5, 2010).
Senior Hamas figure Mahmoud al-Zahar gave an anti-Semitic speech entitled “The Jews have no future among the nations [of the world].”[1] He claimed that the Jews were expelled from Europe because “they betrayed, stole and corrupted” the European counties and that “just as the European peoples tore the Jews up by the roots, so will the Palestinians expel the Jews from all their lands until they disappear.” He called on the Palestinians to close ranks and “together, with blood, we will be able to liberate our lands and holy places” (Al-Aqsa TV, November 5, 2010; Jerusalem Post, November 6, 2010).
