WND posted this story a few hours ago and it’s making the rounds. If true, it means that even before taking power the Dem’s are doing some absolutely outrageous politicking. Given Hamas’ stance on Israel, namely it should be destroyed, it’s surprising that Dem’s would have the guts to pull something like this when so much of their support comes from Jewish voters.
The report also claims that French and British represent ivies have also met with Hamas and support the Hamas proposed cease-fire that would include Israel conceding the strategically important Golan Heights to Hamas. Israel is unlikely to give up the Heights because it would allow Hamas artillery to reach further into Israel.
Pamela at Atlas Shrugs is angry but not surprised in the least. Over on Hot Air, where I get most of my news, Allahpundit is “skeptical” of the report, so he’s not outraged…yet.
Powerline wouldn’t be surprised, though as The Jawa Report points out the source for the story may not be 100% reliable.
With the tone of the netroots vis a vis all things “Zionist“, I wouldn’t be surprised by a Democrat/Hamas alliance. Thinly veiled anti-antisemitism mobilised a god chunk of the left, so the Dem’s know that to keep their little Kossacks happy, Israel’s going to have to be thrown under the bus.
Or in the oven.
Of course, top liberal blogs have not mentioned this story at all as of 10:45 NYC time. The studious ignoring of the story, rather than the shrill screeches of indignation from the left make me think that a) the left believes it’s true b) they don’t think it’s a bad idea and c) they don’t want to weigh in until they can see if America’s ready for the left’s “final solution” for mid-east peace.
I hope it isn’t true.
