Trojan Horses


The real News reports today that Hamas has proposed a 6 month period of "Calm," but that Israel has rejected the offer.

What are we to make of both this "offer," and this "news item?"

My take is that this is not a real and legitimate offer, because it is made by people who are sworn to destroy both Israel and Jews, and that the News item portrays Israel as the evil.

Watch the video and decide for yourself.

On May 7th, Jews around the world will celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel.

I am a Jew and I am not particularly a Zionist. I have never been to Israel and, at the moment, I have no plans to visit.

But I am not an Israel basher. I do not approve of every large and small thing the state of Israel does, but I am proud of my fellow Jews for establishing and nourishing and protecting this sovereign state amidst hatred in large numbers.

To its credit, Israel will not be tempted or fooled by fake offers of peace, made by dedicated murderers.

"If Muslims are weak, a truce may be made for ten years if necessary, for the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) made a truce with the Quraysh for that long, as is related by Abu Dawud" ('Umdat as-Salik, o9.16).

Hamas must be a bit beat up after their recent run-ins with both Israel and Egypt and looking to regroup and rearm. If they were to truly follow the example of Allah's Messenger, they could offer to sign a treaty at Hudaybiyah. Surely the Saudis would be most happy to accommodate.
One thing's for sure, this particular hudna would last just as long as needed and no longer.

ps: Let me politely suggest you consider a trip to Israel someday, Sir David, its a wonderful place, despite the 'best efforts' :roll: of the neighbors.

...In an interview on pan-Arab Al-Jazeera television, (Damascus-based Hamas leader Khaled) Mashaal said that Hamas was ready to cooperate but added that "it is a tactic in conducting the struggle. ... It is normal for any resistance that operates in its people's interest ... to sometimes escalate, other times retreat a bit. ... The battle is to be run this way and Hamas is known for that.""
