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.
Which terror groups that took full power restored the right to vote after having already stripped their people of that right?
A terror group with full power is no longer a terror group.
So… You concede that there are no terror orgs who have expanded the rights of the people they control?
The basis of your statement is nonsensical.
Terror organisations don’t control the rights of people. (If they did, then terrorism would not be needed)
Which is why they won’t be handed autonomy over Palestine.
Glad we are in agreement.
But are Hamas asking for autonomy over Palestine? Conversion to a political party doesn’t necessarily imply this.
Did they not take away the Palestinian right to elections back in 2006?
If you want to argue that Hamas has liberalized in the last 19 years, or even the last 6 months, by all means make that argument, but I am growing bored of the rhetoric I am currently being given.
Which is why I asked about elections and opposition parties.
No.
No.
You are being given no rhetoric. I was asking a question.
