(IsraelNN.com) Hamas spokesman Mahmoud Zahar issued a demand Sunday evening that Israel remove the stripes from its flag.

"Israel must remove the two blue stripes from its national flag", Zahar said. "The stripes are symbols of occupation – they signify Israel's borders, stretching from the River Euphrates to the River Nile."

The Hamas official's comments followed Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz's assessment at the weekly Cabinet meeting that the newly elected terror group was "acting responsibly so far."

Zahar also told CNN's Late Edition that the world should not be asking Hamas to recognize Israel, but rather demanding that the Jewish State recognize that Muslims are the "owners of the land."

Israel will be right with you... just one moment! Happy to accomodate such understanding neighbors! BOOM!

[SaveTheChief]

This is going to get (even more) bloody.

[golas1964]

So much for peaceful co-existence...

Hamas demands that the sun start rising in the West.

"The stripes are symbols of occupation – they signify Israel's borders, stretching from the River Euphrates to the River Nile."

That would place Fallujah in the eastern part of Israel, hmmm.

Is this some kind of sick joke?

I am afraid that there is a high potential for things to get very dicey over there...very quickly.

"Israel must remove the two blue stripes from its national flag", Zahar said. "The stripes are symbols of occupation – they signify Israel's borders, stretching from the River Euphrates to the River Nile."

That's bogus. They don't represent that at all.

The blue stripes on the Israli flag were inspired by the stripes on the tallit (prayer shawl).

at least they got some of the true borders of what God gave Israel right

[Dog Gone]

This is beginning to sound like a late night comedy skit.

[peyton randolph]

Can we add yellow stripes to the French flag?

Now that's getting off on the right foot! (Stuck On Stupid alert!) Not 1 U.S. dollar for them - let'em pound sand on their own.

[dalereed]

they should get all their people out of Palistine, flatten it and anyone living there and be done with it.

Hamas demands that the sun start rising in the West.

I don't know about Hamas but that's what the mullah's in Iran are waiting for, sunrise in the West is a sign for the return of the mahdi.

[Cornpone]

I demand that Hamas, Saudi Arabia, Iran and the rest of the screwed up Islamic world allow Christians, Buddhists, Jews, Hindis and others to worship as they wish and admit that Mohammed was a megalomanic, pedophilic, incestuous, murdering thief...and the father of all hadood.

[Steveone]

I thought this was a joke but they are serious.This will not end well for them.

[reagan_fanatic]

When will they start demanding that all Israelis must undergo surgery to remove the Jewish gene from their DNA?

[Pittsburg Phil]

Boy, the rag-heads are sure getting uppity.

[Zarro]

Maybe they COULD remove the stripes. Then there'd be room to add a pair of lips next to a human posterior....
