Mahmoud Zahhar admits there was never any "palestine"
In this article in the Economist, the Hamas member Mahmoud Zahhar admits more or less that the whole notion of there ever having been an Islamic country called "palestine" is phony:
Nonetheless, Hamas might accept a two-state offer if most Palestinians agreed. But it was entirely “fantastical”. He certainly would not now “accept the reality” of Israel, as some of his senior colleagues have hinted. It may, instead, become “an eternal issue”, he says, looking ahead to a distant future when, “like your European Union”, the Arab nation will form one state across its historic lands, joining up with other Muslim nations such as Turkey. “We [Palestinians] were never an independent state in history,” he notes. “We were part of an Arab state and an Islamic state.”Isn't that something? So why does anyone who buys into the lie of it continue to do so?
