Livni: Hamas-led PA a terror state

[occuserpens]

What about "Islamofascist aggression" against NATO?

Suppose that WBG is a terrorist state which threatens Israel. The next logical step in this direction would be for Israel to join NATO. Then every Palestinian attack would be considered as "Islamofascist aggression" against the whole alliance.

YNet. Yitzhak Benhorin. Livni: Hamas-led PA a terror state
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni says a Hamas-led Palestinian government could be designated a terrorist state, subject to sanctions, if it does not renounce terrorism and recognize Israel.

Speaking at a joint press conference with American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Livni said: "When an entity, a state is being led by terrorists, the meaning is that this entity, this authority, this state is going to transfer into a terror state."

1. It's a state? News to me.

I didn't think Israel had conceded that.

And isn't it a first that a "state" becomes a terrorist state as a result of a free and fair election?

2. Livni said so ;-)

3. Oh, the irony.

--When an entity, a state is being led by terrorists, the meaning is that this entity, this authority, this state is going to transfer into a terror state.--

4. Israel NATO membership "not on the table"-Scheffer

TAORMINA, Italy, Feb 9 (Reuters) - NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer dismissed on Thursday a call for Israel to be given NATO membership as a "security umbrella" to protect it from any threats from Iran.

"It is a virtual question. The issue of Israeli membership is not on the table," de Hoop Scheffer told reporters at a meeting of NATO defence ministers in the Sicilian resort of Taormina.

Italian Defence Minister Antonio Martino was quoted this week as calling for Israel to be given NATO membership.

Martino, who spoke at the same briefing as de Hoop Scheffer, noted that any move towards membership -- a process which can take years -- could only come after an Israeli request.
