Dutch parliament agrees to block all dialogue with Hamas
Good call from the Dutch Parliament:
The Dutch parliament on Tuesday approved a motion seeking to block any dialogue between government officials and Hamas, Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom announced.
The motion – made in effort to counter growing calls in Europe to engage the Islamist group in dialogue – was put forward by MP Raymond de Roon, third on Wilders’ list.
“We should never even talk to an organization that seeks the downfall of Israel. I am therefore glad that my resolution was accepted,’ de Roon said.
In the motion, de Roon requested the government “ensure the terrorist organization Hamas is excluded from any international debate or governance forum,” a party spokesperson told Haaretz.
“Hamas is not only anti-Zionist,” de Roon previously wrote about Hamas. “It is anti-Jewish and a racist organization.
Quite right.
Unlike what so many leftists have tried to make us believe in recent months and years, Hamas cannot be negotiated with. It is an extremist organization. Their members and especially their leaders do not think like you and me. They are radicals willing to sacrifice their own people in order to destroy Israel.
Not only are they terrorists, they are also anti-Jew, not just anti-Zionist (which is bad enough as far as I am concerned). These people hate Jews with a passion rivalled only by the Nazis back in the 1930s and 1940s. Doing business with them is akin to Chamberlain waiving his idiotic piece of paper declaring they would have “peace in [their] time.”
Hamas has to be isolated, weakened, and destroyed – for Israel’s sake, and that of the Palestinians.
