A Few Words from the Covenant of the Party That the Palestinians Elected:

From [1]the Hamas Covenant (dated 18 August 1988) (some paragraph
breaks added):
The enemies have realised the importance of [the Moslem woman's]
role. They consider that if they are able to direct and bring her
up they way they wish, far from Islam, they would have won the
battle. That is why you find them giving these attempts constant
attention through information campaigns, films, and the school
curriculum, using for that purpose their lackeys who are
infiltrated through Zionist organizations under various names and
shapes, such as Freemasons, Rotary Clubs, espionage groups and
others, which are all nothing more than cells of subversion and
saboteurs. These organizations have ample resources that enable
them to play their role in societies for the purpose of achieving
the Zionist targets and to deepen the concepts that would serve the
enemy. . . . .
For a long time, the enemies have been planning, skillfully and
with precision, for the achievement of what they have attained.
They took into consideration the causes affecting the current of
events. They strived to amass great and substantive material wealth
which they devoted to the realisation of their dream.
With their money, they took control of the world media, news
agencies, the press, publishing houses, broadcasting stations, and
others. With their money they stirred revolutions in various parts
of the world with the purpose of achieving their interests and
reaping the fruit therein.
They were behind the French Revolution, the Communist revolution
and most of the revolutions we heard and hear about, here and
there. With their money they formed secret societies, such as
Freemasons, Rotary Clubs, the Lions and others in different parts
of the world for the purpose of sabotaging societies and achieving
Zionist interests. With their money they were able to control
imperialistic countries and instigate them to colonize many
countries in order to enable them to exploit their resources and
spread corruption there.
You may speak as much as you want about regional and world wars.
They were behind World War I, when they were able to destroy the
Islamic Caliphate, making financial gains and controlling
resources. They obtained the Balfour Declaration, formed the League
of Nations through which they could rule the world. They were
behind World War II, through which they made huge financial gains
by trading in armaments, and paved the way for the establishment of
their state. It was they who instigated the replacement of the
League of Nations with the United Nations and the Security Council
to enable them to rule the world through them. There is no war
going on anywhere, without having their finger in it. . . .
This is from the Covenant of the new governing party of the
Palestinian Authority. "Why do they hate us?," at least where the "us"
is Jews? Could one reason be the stuff they're taught by authoritative
voices in their countries? And how does one negotiate with people who
have such a tenuous grasp of reality?
