"it has never been the intention of the Palestinians that it should be"

But it IS the intention of Hamas:

""The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. "

"There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors."

It is not really difficult to find such things- like the Israel constitution, the Arab League statements from 1948 and 1967, etc. WHy do some here keep making statements that are not supported by the facts?
