Misinformation om Hamas
Simon Kvetnys kommentar "I øvrigt mener jeg,
at Hamas bør ødelægfges" (18.8) er et ualmindelig ondskabsfuldt eksempel
på jødisk misinformation. Han refererer igen og igen Hamas for at mene det
modsatte af, hvad de faktisk mener. Ifølge Kvetny siger Hamas f.eks., at staten
Israel skal destrueres ved hellig krig, og at det fremgår af Hamas' charter, at
"alle jøder i landet skal findes og dræbes." Det passer ikke.
Af Hamas' charter fremgår det udtrykkeligt, at
man
"bagvasker eller skænder ikke individer eller grupper, for De Troende er
ikke bagvaskere eller skændere" (§ 24). Der står endvidere: "Under
islams beskyttelse er det muligt for medlemmerne af de tre religioner Islam,
Kristendommen og Jødedommen at ko-eksistere i tryghed og sikkerhed." (§
31)
Kvetny fremturer også med den gamle kliché, at
Hamas skulle være modstandere af en to-statsløsning. Det modsatte er tilfældet.
Hamas har flere gang i henvendelser til FN foreslået en tostatsløsning. I et
brev til FNs generalsekretær Ban Ki-moon skriver Hamas-lederen Ismail Haniyeh
således i 2009: "Vi ville aldrig gå imod anstrengelserne for en
tostats-løsning baseret på 1967-grænserne med Jerusalem som
hovedstad."
Det er tværtimod Israel, der konsekvent modsætter
sig en tostatsløsning, f.eks. ved at flytte 500.000 jøder til de besatte
områder, skønt dette er i klar modstrid med Geneve-konventionen og har
foranlediget talrige FN-resolutioner imod Israel.
Endelig hævder Kvetny, at Hamas stod bag drabet
på
de tre jødiske teenagere, der var Israels grund til at indlede massakrerne i
Gaza. Det har Hamas som bekendt benægtet, og eftersom drabene fandt sted på
Vestbredden, hvor Hamas intet har at skulle have sagt, tyder alt på, at de har
ret. Israel har aldrig fremlagt beviser på Hamas' skyld, drabene er uopklarede,
og de kan være foretaget af en hvilkensomhelst palæstinenser - eller for den
sags skyld af en jødisk bosætter.
Men i stedet for at behandle drabene som en
kriminalsag, bruger Israel dem som påskud for deres sanseløse massakrer i
Gaza.
EU og USA har valgt at kalde Hamas for en
terrorbevægelse, og den danske regering følger som sædvanlig trop som en
dikkende lammehale. Under 2. verdenskrig kaldte nazisterne og den danske
regering ligeledes modstandsbevægelsen for terrorister, og under apartheid
kaldte både USA og danske politikere Nelson Mandelas ANC for terrorister.
På den måde er terroristbegrebet forlængst blevet
udvandet til at stemple legitime modstandsbevægelser som f. eks. Hamas. Det
burde vi netop i Danmark have særlige forudsætninger for at forstå.

Statements towards Arab members of
Knesset[edit]
A
polarizing figure within Israeli politics, Lieberman is quoted as saying,
"I've always been controversial because I offer new ideas. For me to be
controversial, I think this is positive."[22] Lieberman
has called to redraw the border between Israel and the West Bank so
that Israel would include large Jewish settlement blocs and the Palestinian
state would include large Arab-Israeli population centers. He proposed that
Israel's citizens should sign a loyalty oath or lose their right to vote.
In
November 2006, Lieberman, who described Arab members
of the Knesset that
meet with Hamas as
"terror collaborators",
called for their execution: "World War II ended
with the Nuremberg Trials.
The
heads of the Nazi regime, along with their collaborators, were executed. I hope
this will be the fate of the collaborators in [the Knesset]."[89]
The
comment was attacked as racist by Eitan Cabel, a Labor party representative,
and Ahmad Tibi,
leader
of the Arab party Ta'al and
one-time advisor to Yasser Arafat,
who
demanded that, "a criminal investigation be initiated against Lieberman
for violating the law against incitement and
racism".[89][90] Tibi
strongly objected to Lieberman's ministerial appointment, describing him as
"a racist and
a fascist". Labour minister Ophir Pines-Paz,
who
resigned over Lieberman's appointment, echoed Tibi's remarks, saying that
Lieberman was tainted "by racist declarations and declarations that harm
the democratic character of Israel".[91]
In
remarks in the Knesset in
March 2008, shortly after the 6 March attack at
Jerusalem's Mercaz HaRav yeshiva,
Lieberman commented that "yesterday's attack can not be
disconnected from the Arab MKs incitement, which we hear daily in the
Knesset."[92] Directing
his comments at Arab MKs whose comments Lieberman describes as anti-Israel incitement,
he added that "a new administration will be established and then we will
take care of you."[93]
"In
an April 2008 meeting between Hamas leader Khaled Meshal and former U.S.
President Jimmy Carter, an understanding was reached in which Hamas agreed it
would respect the creation of a Palestinian state in the territory seized by
Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War, provided this were ratified by the Palestinian
people in a referendum. Hamas later publicly offered a long-term truce with
Israel if Israel agreed to return to its 1967 borders and grant the "right
of return" to all Palestinian refugees.[70] In November 2008, Hamas leader
Ismail Haniyeh re-stated that Hamas was willing to accept a Palestinian state
within the 1967 borders, and offered Israel a long-term truce "if Israel
recognized the Palestinians' national rights".[71] In 2009, in a letter to
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Haniyeh repeated his group's support for a
two-state settlement based on 1967 borders: "We would never thwart efforts
to create an independent Palestinian state with borders [from] June 4, 1967,
with Jerusalem as its capital."[72] On December 1, 2010, Ismail Haniyeh
again repeated, "We accept a Palestinian state on the borders of 1967,
with Jerusalem as its capital, the release of Palestinian prisoners, and the
resolution of the issue of refugees," and "Hamas will respect the
results [of a referendum] regardless of
whether it differs with its ideology and principles."[73]"
