Titolo: "Joerg Haider and Jean-Marie Le Pen in France are moderates"

Non è certo un autore di destra e pubblica la sua opinione su Haaretz,
che molti a sinistra ritengono una specie di Bibbia. Curiosamente,
nessuno dei fedeli lettori di Haaretz sembra essersi accorto
dell'editoriale, che dopotutto non parla di cellulari ma di Hamas.

What to speak with Hamas about
By Shlomo Avineri
Recently, more and more voices have been heard saying that the only
way to reach an Israeli-Palestinian accord is by talking to Hamas.
These voices are not only in Europe but also in the United States. New
York Times columnist Roger Cohen, for example, and Brent Sowcroft, who
was national security adviser to the first president Bush, have said
that without a dialogue with Hamas there will be no peace between
Israel and the Palestinians. And if Israel refuses to do so, the
Europeans or the Americans should begin a dialogue with Hamas.
Similar statements can also be heard in the margins of Israeli
politics.
I believe they are right, but not for the reasons they cite. The
question is what to talk to Hamas about. It is clear we have to talk
with them - and Israel indeed does speak with them indirectly - about
freeing kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit and achieving calm.
I believe we must talk to Hamas about other things too, like about
what is written in their founding covenant. Most Israelis, as well as
the Europeans and Americans, know that Hamas espouses the destruction
of Israel. What most of them do not know is that Hamas' founding
document includes a much more comprehensive attitude, not merely to
Israel and Zionism, but to the Jews.
The prologue to the covenant states that Hamas' aim is a war - not
against Israel or Zionism but against the Jewish people at large,
since the Jews, and not merely Israel and Zionism, are the enemies of
Islam.
And in order to remove any doubt, the entire chapter 22 is devoted to
detailing the iniquities of the Jews.
According to Hamas, the Jews are responsible for all the ills of
modern society - the French Revolution; the Communist revolution; the
establishment of secret associations (Freemasons, Rotary and Lions
clubs, B'nai B'rith) designed to help them gain control of the world
by secret means. They control the economy, press and television; they
are responsible for the outbreak of World War I, which they initiated
in order to destroy the Muslim caliphates (the Ottoman empire), to get
the Balfour Declaration and set up the League of Nations with the aim
of establishing their state. They also initiated World War II in order
to make a fortune from selling war materials; they use both capitalism
and communism as their agents.
Sound familiar? Yes, some of it is taken directly from "The Protocols
of the Elders of Zion," and some, particularly the parts dealing with
the world wars, is original.
Don't tell me that these are merely words and Hamas must not be judged
only on the basis of its covenant. Would anyone dare say that if a
similar movement were to arise in Europe or America and, in addition
to statements like these, was busy killing Jews?
Compared with what is written in the Hamas covenant, Austria's Joerg
Haider and Jean-Marie Le Pen in France are moderates.
It is clear that if a movement like this were to come out of Europe,
no one would even imagine proposing that negotiations be held with it,
or that it be asked to join a government. It would not merely be
declared illegal but denounced by humankind. An abomination like that
has no place in any political discourse.
But perhaps it is nevertheless worthwhile talking to Hamas - not about
its contribution to peace but rather about what is stated in its
covenant. Perhaps those who espouse the view that we must talk with
Hamas will first talk with it about these subjects? Who knows, perhaps
it will change its principles? I do not expect this to happen exactly,
but I am certainly curious to know what those who think Hamas is the
key to peace in the Middle East will say about these things.
And perhaps they are actually correct, perhaps Hamas is the key. If
that's the case, it's difficult to expect that peace can be
established in our region.
