Hamas | Hullo! |
Israel | Hullo! Is this Hammas? |
Hamas | Who is calling? |
Israel | This is Israel. |
Hamas | We recognize no-one by that name. |
Israel | You know the people you are fighting against |
Hamas | Oh! You mean the Zionist entity - we don't talk to you. |
Israel | Why not? |
Hamas | Because you are occupiers of our land and perscutors of the Muslim people. |
Israel | So why don't you hang up the phone? |
Hamas | We would if this were a real conversation. But since it is a figment of the Jew Lewin's imagination we know it will be understood as his construction of what we might say if we did not hang up the phone. |
Israel | Fair enough. Listen the UN wants us to establish a cease fire. We are happy to do this if you stop firing rockets and agree not to do so again. Then we can talk about normalizing relations between us. |
Hamas | We can't do that. We cannot stop firing rockets until you withdraw your troops and stop killing our innocent people. |
Israel | Innocent people are dying only because you persist in firing your rockets and then put innocent people in military target places. |
Hamas | Our people understand it is an honor to die defending our cause. |
Israel | Well then how can we avoid killing innocent people? |
Hamas | Easy, just stop attacking us. |
Israel | But how are we supposed to defend ourselves? |
Hamas | You cannot defend this illegitimate project of occupation. Sooner or later you will realize you must capitulate. |
Israel | You mean we must just surrender to you to kill us all. |
Hamas | Not necessarily. You may live under the legitimate rule of Allah. You can even choose to embrace the one true creed of Islam. |
Israel | You do not talk for all of the Palestinians. |
Hamas | Some of our brothers are misguided. They have set up unholy collaborative organizations. |
Israel | What if these organizations agree to a cease fire, or to negotiations and the establishment of a two-state solution? |
Hamas | We may agree to go along for the time being. There is precendent for this in the words and actions of the Prophet. But in the end there is no place for a non-Muslim authority in this land. |
Israel | If we withdraw now will you stop the rockets? |
Hamas | Certainly not. We will show the world how we have survived your agression. We will double the number of rockets. |
Israel | What if we destroy all your rockets? |
Hamas | We will get more from Iran. |
Israel | OK, thanks, nice talking to you. |
Hamas | Call again any time. |
I always seem to be in the minority, on the outside, swimming against the current.
