A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

    It’s pointless arguing this on Lemmy. Everyone here is convinced that the Islamic jihadists are oppressed and just want peace despite what they actually say and do.

      I’m not saying that. You guys seem to think Arabs are born angry, though, and so can’t be dealt with just by not being consistently a bastard yourself.

              Who said anything about Northern Ireland? I said Irish independence not Irish unification.

                  Are you aware that one of the major factors to Ireland independence is terrorism.

                    Irish politicians also have a problem with just not saying evil stupid shit on Armenian issues.

                    Which seems especially weird considering that ASALA had connections with IRA.

                    Was their stated goal to wipe the U.K. off the face of the planet so that they could go to paradise?
