Hamas' Deputy Foreign Minister Ghazi Hamad told NPR's Robert Siegel that the Islamic political party has accepted a two-state solution that respects the 1967 borders.Hamad says that Hamas accepts a two-state solution that respects the 1967 borders--and when pressed if that includes Israel, he again says Hamas accepts the 1967 borders.
Robert asked Hamad in a very straight forward way: "If Israel were to accept a two-state solution in which Palestine would be in Gaza and the West Bank and have its capital in Jerusalem, is that an acceptable aim that Hamas is striving for or is that in and of itself insufficient because there would still be a state of Israel?"
"Look, we said, frankly, we accept the state and '67 borders. This was mentioned many times and we repeated many times," said Hamad.
That Hamas accepts the 1967 borders is clear.
That Hamas accepts the existence of Israel--not so much.

This is old news.
Hamas and Fatah both accept a 2 state solution:
1) One state that is 100% Judenrein
2) One state that, through the "right of return" will have a 55% Arab majority and 45% Jewish minority.
Hamas is consistent. Its useful idiots in the West like Tom Friedman pretend they aren't really anti-Jewish genocidists!
Really! Consider these are the same people who refuse to take Israel at its word but who eagerly lap up and publicize any non-existent Hamas declaration of "moderation."
Like Golda Meir said decades ago, Israel can survive a bad press. Israel cannot ever be the object of a good epitaph.
