Hamas and the Palestinian Authority
Do Not Believe In Any Peace Process
by Palestinian scholar Bassam Tawil,
Four lines, two mistakes!
Further misjudgments arise from this.
- There is no Islamism. The term is always used when someone wants to separate Islam from its radical variants and save it as a religion, even as a peaceful religion.
- Not only do Hamas and the Palestinian Authority not believe in a peace process, but Islam forbids Muslims, who Allah has blessed, from living in peace with the people Allah is displeased with. (p.e. Surah 47:4, 4:47-48).
It is a dance on thin ice, not only domestically for Donald Trump, but above all for Israel and the governments of the Islamic states.
Israelis are familiar with the Islamic commandments regarding behavior toward Jews and Christians, who are assigned the position of Dhimmis. Once ruled by Islam, always ruled by Islam. This applies to Israel first and foremost, because the territory has been ruled by Islam since 636 AD.
Trump is a man with good intentions? Following are instructions for him, ignoring the fact that all Islamic states and all Muslims are obligated to wage jihad (holy war), and that in each of these states, groups are active and agitating that were established not only with the purpose of waging jihad to kill Jews and destroy Israel, but to islamize the entire world, whether peacefully or by force, depending on the balance of power. Football club Paris Saint Germain (PSG) and Qatar Airways rank under "peaceful," Hamas under "violent", Al-Jazeera is more difficult to classify when it comes to Israel and Gaza violence. The US president, however, needs to bear in mind ... What arrogance!
Leaving the Palestinian Authority, Hamas armed, or Qatar in the Gaza Strip will only facilitate their plans to pursue jihad against Israel? Who would have thought that? Who reads the Phased Plan, dated June 9, 1974, to Donald Trump so he doesn't cut a caper?
All the good advice and criticism of Donald Trump that now follows shows only one thing: a complete lack of understanding of Donald Trump's policy towards Islamic states. Trump says Hamas ready for peace? Donald Trump doesn't believe this for a second, but it's part of his policy, which will lead to the release of the hostages, the disarmament of Hamas, and their expulsion from Gaza: hugging until death by suffocation.
It's embarrassing to inform Donald Trump that Yasser Arafat's letter of September 9, 1993, recognizing Israel's right to exist never took effect because the Palestinian National Council never ratified it. Shouldn't Donald Trump know that? Even I, in my corner of southwestern France, know that; it's in my article of August 9, 2009, in German:
After losing the Yom Kippur War in October 1973, the Arab states and, on their behalf, the Arab terrorist organizations changed their tactics and adopted the Phased Plan of June 9, 1974. The goal was to conquer territory from Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza, calling it "liberation," and then carry out further "liberation operations" from there. The recognition of Israel by PLO leader Yasser Arafat, which was never confirmed by the Palestinian National Council, the sole body responsible for this, must be viewed in this context. From the Phased Plan, one can understand why Gaza, the territory ceded by the Israeli government, is described as conquered, and it becomes clear that such a policy does not create peace but rather confirms the policy of the Phased Plan. Every territory ceded by Israel brings with it further demands and struggles, just as is well known with all other Muslim demands. We experience this almost daily in Germany.
Hamas's response clearly suggests that the terror group is opposed to any international administration and still sees itself playing a role in the management of the Gaza Strip in the day after the war.
Donald Trump knows this too, and Izz al-Din al-Haddad explains it to everyone who needs to hear it. The few desk jockeys still hanging around in Doha or elsewhere in Islamic states don't count; they can happily accept the 20-Point Plan.
Can one perhaps imagine what would happen if Donald Trump, preferably in his familiar, colorful language, presented the facts? What effect would it have on the heads of government and the people of Islamic states? Hamas wants to continue fighting for Islam and the destruction of Israel in accordance with the Koran, but the sheikhs want to make common cause with Israel?
Can perhaps one of Donald Trump’s intellectually superior critics think about what is to be achieved,: the release of the hostages, the disarmament of Hamas and all other terrorist organizations in Gaza and the West Bank, the administration and reconstruction of Gaza by politicians who are not hostile to Israel, the gradual incorporation of Judea and Samaria into the State of Israel, the generous financial support provided to hundreds of thousands of Arabs from Gaza and the West Bank to resettle in other Islamic countries, and the peaceful development of the Middle East with trade from Northeast Asia to western Europe?
This requires one step at a time. First, the hostages must be brought to Israel; otherwise, Benjamin Netanyahu will be finished domestically. Everything else follows, and if the Hamas troops do not give up, then they will be given up.
Bassam Tawil isn't the only one portraying Donald Trump as stupid, naive, reckless, and inconsiderate. My best friends see him that way; the toddler yearns for the Nobel Peace Prize; he'll do anything for it. Melania will have to console him because he probably won't get it.
And people are saying that I have fallen in love with Donald Trump. 😂
