Lucia got fresh news for you: Obama's administration had made the first steps to reach Hamas.

UP, I've got fresh news for you.

Niños palestinos juegan en medio de las ruinas que dejó en la franja de Gaza el ataque israelí de principios de este año. - Adel hana / ap

There's a report today stating that the Obama's administration had made the first steps to reach Hamas. The Swiss Govt officially acknowledged that a secret meeting had been held in Geneva, at the Swiss Fgn Ministry, on june 16 and 17 past, to which top level american "expert" officers attended, as well as colleagues from France, Germany and the United Kingdom. For Hamas's part, the ample -the report says- delegation was headed by Al-Zahhar (Foreign Minister) and the Health Minister Basem Naim.

The inform adds that many direct questions were asked to the Hamas delegation, that were matched with outright responses. Hamas was requested to recognize Israel, and refused. It was requested to renounce "violence", and equally refused.

It was asked, as well, for more details about the long-term truce, that Obama is reportedly interested about. The report says that "the Movement has been more constructive, since it doesn't ask for the palestinian state being stablished in the whole land of Palestine, but it would accept it within the 67 lines." (Lucia interpretation of this sentence is that it is kind of face-saving for the USA, because Hamas has been declaring this for some time, this is old news, though adding they accept it "for the moment")

The article ends with an odd comment: "It is also significant that the principal interlocutor chosen by the USA to continue with the peace process had been Mahmud Zahhar, rather than the leader in exile Khaled Meshal". Well, we cannot know if the USA really "chose" him. But he is the Minister of Foreign Relations and a founding member, anyway.

It seems that the USA has not yet grasped that Hamas functions like a well trained orchestra where all musicians play simultaneously with equal importance whatever the instrument they play.

Possibly these news will make it to the international press in a few hours. Let's wait and see what they say... and the volumes of analysis thereafter. ;) 6:27 AM, July 31, 2009

NSB resistance fighters clash with occupation soldiers east of Khan Younis

UP Comment:

Thank you Lucia. Good news, bad for Hamas bashers (hoping Hamas would be domesticated, just to prove they were right), prefering a continued ocupation, until "Nice Secular Israelis" are elected in the only democracy in the middle east, and Mocking Mashaal Hoping Obama Cancels Conditions for Talks with Hamas.

Lucia: I got something fresh for you. A shiity comment on Fateh kenafah, Hamas kites and Quran.
Gaza children fly 6000 kites calling for an end to the blockade



For me Kenafah is symbol for wealth and corruption (WESTERN AID). A call for more Kenafah to spoil Palestinians and forget their rights.

Flying Kites is a desperate call for lifting the siege, for freedom.
For seculars, anti Islam, hamas bashers,

• The alarming part is that thousands of youngsters are enrolled in special camps for the purpose of MEMORIZING the Qur'an; Instead of lively debates, critique and analysis, revolutionary theory and practice, etc, this is what Hamas has produced.
• Comming into contact with a religious man they always feel they must wash their hands.
• The problem with political Islam is the fact that it is political!!
• As Arab minorities (to their own right) prefer a pseudo secular dictatorships than a democratically elected Muslim party.
• The masses are so brain washed and religion is thought of as the spinal chord of their identity.
• To them the reformation will not be possible until political Islam fails completely against Israel same way Arab nationalism failed in 1967. Only then will the masses lose faith in it , same way the lost faith with Nasser and Baathism.
• For things to get better , they must get a whole lot worse (to them it means the liquidation of the Palestinian struggle and the full hegemony of the west over historic Palestine with the Arab regimes blessing Zion. ).
• In their life time they will not see the changes , because we are in the midst of the Islamic Dark ages.

Those Palestinians are Breaking all the Guinness Book World Records! The Largest Kenafah, The Most Kites Flown, and now.......

Habila's Son Memorizes the Qur'an in Just 35 Days!
Who Needs Liberation and Siege Breaking? Keep Those Guinness Records Coming!
As They Used to Say, "Revolution" Until Victory!

Déjà Vu All Over Again: Mashaal Hopes Obama Cancels Conditions for Talks with Hamas
Thus preyed the "Pandit"
"Iran is a regional power, so Obama has to deal with it. so Obama is trying to put the ayatollahs to good use. by moving Syria away from Iran. By removing Iran and Syria from the equation, Hamas will be cut off and the plan is to destroy it or at least domesticate it, just as Arafat was domesticated and finally destroyed." Two weeks ago I commented on Khalid Amayreh's article: Fatah deadlock continues

I wrote;

"Hamas Basher mocked Hamas expected that Cairo dialogue will deliver a domesticated Hamas, that Hamas would join the Happy family: "
"There is Love in the Air: All Together Now.....I Love You....You Love Me..We're A Happy Family...

Let Abbas deliver a Fatah Happy Family. " "Ahead of Abbas congress, in Bethlehem, and next session of Palestinian dialoque in Cairo, Mashaal delivered his landmark speech from Damascus, sending messages/replies to all concerned (Netanyaho, Obama and his Carter, Moderate Arabs).

• No to Jewish State killing the Uproted Palestinians right of return, and 1948 Arabs right to stay
• No to Naturalizing Palestinian Refugees
• Yes to an Arab state with its capital in occupied Jerusalem and full sovereignty in the areas liberated by Israel in 1967, dismantling of Jewish communities in those areas."

Sincere Fateh members are aware that The Dayton-Fayyad Project is to Fatah as Well. Today, Quadomi stand proved that Hamas insistance dialogue and resistance even delivered a Happy Family in Gaza with sincere fateh members, and deepened the rift in Fatah.
Let Abbas keep his Ramallah family happy.
