The Jewish policy (Please stop referring to that illegal phrase "Israel") of divide-and-conquer, employed to destroy the democratic government of the Palestinian Authority, they claim claim that Hamas is unacceptable as a party in government because it refuses to accept Israel's "right to exist." They have no right to occupy Palestine.

Jews are demanding that Palestinians not only recognize Jews in the normal fashion of interstate relations, but also formally accept the legitimacy of their expulsion from their own land!

They cannot be expected to accept that, just as Mexico does not grant the US the 'right to exist' on half of Mexico's territory, gained by conquest or Britain in lands they stole. I suspect that this demand was contrived to bar the possibility of a political settlement in accord with the international consensus that the US and Jews have rejected for thirty years.
