Guardian Lies About Palestinian Big Lie

Guardian Palestinian propagandist Chris McGreal isn’t stupid. He knows the “prisoner’s document” does not recognize Israel’s right to exist, and that it never mentions the phrase “two-state solution.” McGreal is simply lying about it, to make it seem as if Hamas is doing an about-face.
Hamas has made a major political climbdown by agreeing to sections of a document that recognise Israel’s right to exist and a negotiated two-state solution, according to Palestinian leaders.
In a bitter struggle for power, Hamas is bowing to an ultimatum from the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, to endorse the document drawn up by Palestinian security prisoners in Israeli jails, or face a national referendum on the issue that could see the Islamist group stripped of power if it loses.
But final agreement on the paper, designed to end international sanctions against the Hamas government that have crippled the Palestinian economy, has been slowed by wrangling over a national unity administration and the question of who speaks for the Palestinians.
Yasser Abed Rabbo, a member of the Palestine Liberation Organisation’s executive committee and a lead negotiator on the prisoners’ document, said Hamas had agreed to sections which call for a negotiated and final agreement with Israel to establish a Palestinian state on the territories occupied in 1967, including East Jerusalem.
Ever since I read the National Conciliation Document of the Prisoners, I’ve been pointing out that this document is nothing but another Palestinian Big Lie. It’s not surprising to see the anti-Israel Guardian climb aboard the phony bandwagon; they will do anything to legitimize and support Palestinian terrorism.
