Hudna (Indefinite Truce) May be the Only Way to a False Peace!
April 18, 2006

The following two articles, one from the Palestinian Center for Policy and
Survey Research, and the other from the Times, UK, were both extracted from the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs Daily Alert.
The Scriptures indicate that a false peace will come to Israel before it is attacked from the north. It is appearing more and more likely that it may be in the form of a Hudna issued by the terror groups in Israel for the production of a “quiet for quiet” indefinite period of time, which is allowable under the traditional teachings
of Islam for the purpose of building up strength and coordination of future conquests.
These two articles, which follow, show little hope for what Western Powers would identify as a negotiated peace, and an indefinite truce agreement may be the best one can hope to achieve as a false peace.

Islamic Jihad: “Our Struggle Will Only End with the End of the State of Israel” –
By Stephen Farrell
“Our ideology, through the way we understand Islam, is that our struggle will only end with the end of the State of Israel.
For us it is an existential struggle, it is either us or them,” said Abu Ahmad, an Islamic Jihad leader.
Stark, uncompromising, and with the utter clarity of the fundamentalist, this was the Islamic Jihad worldview spelled out to The Times in Gaza just days before Monday’s bombing. Islamic Jihad claims that by continuing attacks it has recruited dozens of disillusioned hardliners from Hamas’ military wing. (Times-UK)
