| Hamas rules out joining latest Palestinian government |
| 2003-09-21 |
| JPost Reg Req’d Palestinian PM designate Ahmed Qurei was in Gaza Sunday, urging Palestinian terrorist organizations to join his government. does anyone else see something wrong with this idea? Hamas members stayed away from a meeting between Qurei and 13 opposition groups, though Islamic Jihad and radical PLO groups PFLP and DFLP did attend the meeting, a Fatah source said. Hamas issued a statement saying it would not join Qurei’s government. "The Hamas movement has not participated in any previous governments and will not take part in the forthcoming new government," Hamas said in a statement faxed to Reuters in Beirut. The statement went on saying that Hamas would not participate in any government "whose program is based on the Oslo accords that squander the rights of the Palestinian people". wouldn’t want to dilute the pure evil/corruption present in an Arafat gov’t, Bwahahahaha! Although Islamic Jihad attended the meeting, it also ruled out participating in a government that will pursue, even in name only, the US road map. Qurei, one of the architects of the Oslo accord, told Fatah leaders last week that he was a man of negotiations not armed struggle, and would only serve as PM in a government that will pursue the diplomatic process. It’s the same program as that of the previous government: the political and diplomatic process, internal reforms, establishing a hudna between Israel and the PA and reach an agreement on a hudna with the opposition, establishing law and order, ending the construction of the security fence and ending violence from both sides, Abu Amr said. |

| #2 This latest action should dispel any notions about Arafart and his lackeys wanting to negotiate peace with Israel. Any party that thinks that some sort of settlement is possible under these conditions is only fooling themselves. |

| #1 Is anyone suprised? Hamas and JI will never join any government which does not allow them to kill and murder innocent civilians at will. I think IDF is following the right course in hunting down and killing them like the rabid dogs they are. You don't negociate with a rabid dog -- you shoot it in the head before it can do any harm or infect anyone else. |
