Kurdish-Iraqi Writer: The Palestinians Should Extend a Friendly Hand to Israel
(MEMRI) Kurdish-Iraqi writer Mehdi Majid 'Abdallah wrote on Elaph.com on Dec. 4, 2014: "I do not know if Hamas, when it fires its rockets randomly into Israeli cities, thinks of the fact that they will hit women and children who have done nothing wrong other than choose to live in the land that was stolen from them thousands of years ago and has now been restored to them....Whether we like it or not, the land on which the Palestinians live belongs to the Jews, and there is historic and religious evidence of this, both Islamic and non-Islamic." "Hamas leader Isma'il Haniya is...always urging the Palestinians not to maintain any ties with [Israel], in any domain....But when his sister, his daughter and some other members of his family fell ill, one after the other, we immediately saw him send them to the best hospitals in Tel Aviv, where they received treatment before being sent back to Gaza unharmed. Why? If Israel was a murderer of Palestinian women and children, as the Arab media falsely maintains, it would have regarded Haniya's relatives as choice prey." "It is time that the Arabs, Muslims and Palestinians, who are deceived and drugged by false and baseless slogans, wake up and extend a friendly hand to Israel....If the Palestinians want to avoid being harmed by Israeli fire, they should prevent Hamas from using their homes, mosques and schools to launch its terrorist rockets at Israel."
