The following article goes into the recent history in detail, showing specifically - with references - how weve been grossly misled by US media. Extremely important piece for understanding whats actually happening now. As one Hamas leader (Hamas MP Riad Mustafa, ICG report, 6/06; emphasis added) explained: ...the government’s program calls for the end of the occupation, not the destruction of Israel, and Hamas has proposed ending the occupation and a long-term truce (hudna) to bring peace to this region. That is Hamas’ own position. The government has also recognized President Abbas’ right to conduct political negotiations with Israel. If he were to produce a peace agreement, and if this agreement was endorsed by our national institutions and a popular referendum, then—even if it includes Palestinian recognition of Israel— we would of course accept their verdict. Because respecting the will of the people and their democratic choice is also one of our principles. fair.org/extra-online-articles/nixed-signals/
