Hamas Offers Israel 10-Year Truce in Exchange for Border Reform
Trans World News ^ | 4/21/2008 | Staff

Khaled Mashaal, the leader of Palestinian militant group Hamas, has said their organization would be willing to offer Israel a 10-year truce if Israel were to remove itself from the lands it seized during the 1967 Middle East War.

Mashaal has said he made the offer on Saturday while speaking with former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and while the Hamas leader hinted that a Palestinian state would be limited to the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem there was no outright declaration that they would recognize Israel.

During Carter’s talk with Mashaal the Hamas leader said his organization would not look to block a peace deal between Palestinian President Moahmoud Abbas and Israel so long as Palestinians favored the deal.

Israel has not responded to Mashaal and view Hamas as the United States does, a terrorist organization. Israel has recognized that a Palestinian state should exist they have never expressed a willingness to return to the borders created prior to 1967.

Hamas can suck my balls, but I don't have any balls. As soon as I grow some, Hamas can suck them.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

If Olmert and gang take this offer seriously, they’d be more crazy than I thought.

To call Carter a "senile old fool" is to disrespect all senile old fools everywhere.

Carter is at his core a seething hater of everything Jewish but who has been attempting to cloaking his evil by doing 'good works' e.g. Habitat for Humanity.

Carter needs to take a dirt nap already and do the world a great favor. Surprisingly most people THINKS Jimmy is a good person!! Which just goes to show how evil can cloak itself successfully.

"Has Lindsay Graham been working on the Hamas “immigration reform”?

It makes you wonder, doesn't it? Maybe Hamas is taking a page from La Raza's playbook.

The ten year truce is very significant in Islam, as Mohammad made a ten year truce with Medina. He then invaded and killed them all in year six.

Clearly Hamas is desiring something for nothing, in a bid for murder.

I think they should be given nuclear power, air mail. Peace only comes through victory, not by paying evil men to not be evil.
