Yassin: Jewish state could be established in Europe

Hamas founder and spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin has told a German magazine that a Jewish state could be established in Europe.

In interview excerpts slated for publication on Monday in 'Der Spiegel,' Yassin opposed a two-state solution in which a Palestinian state would coexist next to Israel.

"That would not work," he said. "The Israelis claim 80 percent of the territory and will only let us have 20 percent. It would only be an interim solution."

Asked if there was no place at all for a Jewish state, he said, "They could set up a state in Europe." Yassin also rejected the Geneva Accord, which was hammered out between non-government Israeli and Palestinian representatives.

"That plan is worse than the Oslo one, because it abandons the right of return for the refugees," he said.

Maybe Putin could give the Palistinians the so-called jewish homeland Stalin decreed: Yevreysk, just west of Khabarovsk. It'd work well, the souhern border would be the Amur river (China on the other bank) and the northern border could be fenced in tho' mother nature would probably suffice..

sounds good to me, though I have a hunch the palestinians wouldn't agree.

it's not about the land anymore - it's about getting the Jews GONE from the area completely.

Yassin is the chief proponent of the human bomb phenomenon. Why he's still breathing is beyond me.
