Now that’s fair?
Is there anything wrong with this picture?
RAMALLAH, West Bank, 22 April 2008 — Hamas would accept a Palestinian state on only part of the land it claims and would grant Israel a 10-year “hudna,” or truce, the Palestinian group’s leader said yesterday.
…“We have offered a truce if Israel withdraws to the 1967 borders, a truce of 10 years as a proof of recognition,” he said. He said he made the offer to former US President Jimmy Carter during talks on Friday and Saturday in the Syrian capital.
Meshaal used the Arabic word “hudna,” meaning truce, which is more concrete than “tahdia” — a period of calm — which Hamas often uses to describe a simple cease-fire.
So, let me see if I get this… a temporary truce in an exchange for a permanent withdrawel of land, with a de facto promise to resume war in ten years.
Nice work Carter! *insert sarcasm*.
What does this promise mean anyway? Carter is not a governmental representative in the formal sense of the word, so therefore he is a nothing, so this promise means nothing to a nothing!
Way to go mate!
