Re: Hopefully not
by Little Neck
Hmmmm.....that IS a "toughie". Never heard of the "Islamic Trust" before, although, (of course?) I've heard of Hammas..... Well...maybe I'd look into the life of the Prophet Mohammed himself, and see if anything in it could re-interpret the "Islamic Trust" idea, into one of sharing land with one's neighbours, And, come to think of it, Hamas wouldn't be giving any land to Israel at all...they'd be "donating" their "share" (along with everyone else's "shares"), to the Palestinians, so the Palestinians would winde up with a homeland, (too!) If they didn't agree to this, (to me, quite reasonable) request to donate some of their land, (as would Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, etc, also be "donating" land), so that the Palestinans could have a country.....if they didn't want to do this, the other countries could impose economic sanctions....and/or give Hamas a dressing-down at the UN, or even take away any status they might have at the UN, (as observers, etc). Hopefully, all the other member-countries at the UN would co-operate here
