In a news conference in Damascus, the leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad today boasted all Palestinian groups remain united in the goal of annihilating the Jewish state of Israel.
With Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia looking on, Ramazan Abdullah, secretary general of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, said the Palestinian Authority and all Palestinian movements have reached agreement on a joint strategy after Israel's evacuation of the Gaza Strip.
"This war would continue till full liberation of Palestine, restoration of the denied rights of the whole Palestinian nation and briefly speaking uprooting of the usurper Israeli regime," he said, according to a translation by the official Iranian Islamic Republic News Agency.
"[The] Gaza Strip that is being evacuated after thirty-eight years of occupation is only some 1.5 percent of the historic motherland of the Palestinians, and therefore its evacuation cannot mean the end of the liberation campaign," he said.
By "liberation campaign," what he means is liberating innocent Jewish civilians from the scourge of life through the use of bomb vests and sundry other implements of liberation.
What amazes me is not that these people want to destroy Israel. What does amaze me is that they're not even subtle about it; yet the outside world continues its moral equivalency argument, its chants of "end the cycle of violence," and its assumptions that the "Palestinians" have genuine grievances.
