Larijani Meets Hamas’s Mashaal in Damascus
al-Manar reports: A senior Iranian politician met Hamas politburo Chief Khaled Mashaal in Damascus on Wednesday as the Palestinian Islamic resistance group is studying an Egyptian proposal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Ali Larijani, speaker of parliament and one of the major figures in the Islamic Republic, met Mashaal and several high level officials from Hamas at the Iranian embassy in the Syrian capital, witnesses said.
The meeting stretched into the early hours of Thursday, with no details emerging from the deliberations. Larijani earlier met leaders of Islamic Jihad, another Palestinian resistance group.
Larijani also met President Bashar al-Assad on Wednesday to discuss the "dangerous situation" in Gaza, the official Syrian news agency said. He is the second Iranian official to visit Syria since Israel's ground invasion of Gaza began on Saturday.
Saeed Jalili, a senior Iranian security official, met Hamas and Islamic Jihad officials in Damascus this week, before Egypt announced a plan for a truce in Gaza brokered by France.
Hamas said it was looking at the plan, which aims to “prevent Hamas rearming through smuggling tunnels from Egypt” and tackles Hamas's demand for an end to Israel's blockade on Gaza, a major reason cited by Hamas behind its decision not to renew a truce with Israel last month.

ynetnews reports that hamas, along with 7 other factions, rejected the egyptian plan, as they should.
now we know the real strategy: unleash mass barbarism on civilians in order to create social chaos and a humanitarian emergency, with the hope of imposing a brutal "settlement" on gaza, the palestinian cause and resistance in general. gaza is to be occupied by foreign troops, likely under egyptian oversight.
if this scenario plays out, the very future of the Palestinian cause is in question. abu mazen will sign-off the west bank cantons to jordan or just rule them as a tin pot dictator in charge of his own "state".
With no hope at the UN for a real ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal, the political outcome will be determined solely by the military battle on the ground and by the steadfastness and endurance of the people in Gaza.
the conspiracy is bigger than we imagine -- and threatens the very future of Palestine.
Yes that has always been the Zionist game plan - take as much of Palestine as they can get away with and had over the Bantustans to Egypt and Jordan and get them to police it.
But I doubt it will work in the long run. You can only kill an idea with a greater idea. The Palestinian nation will outlast Zion just as the Jewish people survived the Romans.
By Zion I mean of course the Jewish supremacist state, not the Jewish people of Israel.
The tragedy is that the Palestinians are so badly led.

An ex-IAF captain speaks out. In the west the only acceptable criticism of Israel comes from jews.
A sane mane (must be a self-hater)

If hamas was being advised by the Syrians alone, yes I would see all hope diminish. However Iran is a differnt ball game, Iranians like Larijani are as smart as any zionist/neocon. So I am hopeful that Hamas will be curtailed from making rash staements, promises and bad agreements.
If the Palestinians bothered playing a fair game with the Israeli state, meaning: following even once the agreements signed between the two parties since 1994, using the millions and millions of dollars they've been given by the world for anything other than weapons (like hospitals, places of employment, whatever, to take basic care of their people) and stop blabbing about killing all Jews, they'd be in a far better state right now - probably IN a state.
Oh, well, you can always choose to be nothing more than a terrorist.
You seem to be confusing the Palestinians with Israel. They're the ones who cheated on their agreements merrily carrying on bulldozing throughout the farcical peace process in the Nineties.
Apologists for Israel have a short memory. They conveniently forget that it wasn't a Palestinian who murdered Rabin.
Israel has no interest in a two state solution because a meaningful Palestinian state - which would still only compromise a fifth of the country that has been ethnically cleansed by the Zionists since 1948 - would mean evicting hundreds of thousands of far right settlers from the West Bank, at the risk of triggering a civil war within Green Line Israel and losing control of the aquifer under the West Bank.
Without continuing to steal Palestinian water through the barrel of a gun Likudniks would no longer be able to sprinkle their lawns and build private swimming pools in their mansions while what was left of Palestine was denied basic sanitation.
@Robert: don't waste your time trying to explain something to "anonymous". As I mentioned on the other thread, he is hopeless. I asked him to leave us alone and I have some hope that he will do that.
希望大家都會非常非常幸福~

當它在宇宙的遊歷結束之後,它自然會來到你身邊,以你曾經希望的方式回應你,許下,只是讓它發生,放下,才是讓>它實現,你的心願使你懂得不能執著的奧秘...................深秋的芒草又開了嗎?你循著去年秋天走過的小徑來到芒花如海浪起伏的野地。和記憶中一樣的風景風溫度濕度甚至風吹過臉頰的速度也是一樣的你循著小徑往前走漸漸有了某種幻覺彷彿可以就這樣一路走回去年秋天的從前然而這是另一個秋天了一個和了一以前不同的秋天一個此時的秋天時的在這個秋天之中的時你也的是一個和以前不同的你一個此時的你此時新生之時親愛的繼續往前走吧穿越過感傷的小徑與想念的芒絮之的芒後你將會再度重逢新生的自己。哪裡出了錯?為什麼你的總心是裡有那麼多的恐懼和猜疑不安和失落那你看那風中的飛花它從不為明日擔憂只是輕盈地悠遊自在地來去當一朵花還棲止在枝頭上的時候它不過是一棵樹的一部份唯有當它從枝頭落下才成為它自己因此親愛的你現在所攀附的枝頭也並不是你全部的世界雖是你然它提供了你目前所需了的養份但總有一天你會發現另一個真正會屬於你的世界那時你將像是一朵飛花在風中輕盈地悠遊自地盈在地來去
