Hamas is a Palestinian liberation group that has won the election. It is dedicated to liberate Palestine from the River to the Sea. This election was indeed a message to the World that the Palestinian people will never sacrifice their right nor will they give up their hope to liberate their homeland from the clutches of Zionism and Western Imperialism. This election was a referendum and a rejection to the Oslo agreement and to all the agreements that followed which were intended to force the Palestinians to accept the status quo, the rape and the usurpation of their homeland. The people have said no to liquidations of our historic land, yes to liberation.

The Palestinian people said it very loud and clear and we hope that Mr. Bush will realize that the election was more than a "wake up call" to the Palestinian leaders. It was not only for "expressing the desire for honest government and good social services, such as health care and education." It is for dignity, for the homeland that they were expelled from. It is for the Right of Return. It is for liberation. It is for Palestine.

The result of the election in Palestine did not please Mr. Bush and his allies; neither had it pleased the European Union. Mr. Bush was not able to hide his feelings when he said "I made it very clear that the United States does not support political parties that want to destroy our ally Israel." But he ignored the destruction of Palestine at the hands of his racist settler colonialist allies. He has the nerve to ask Hamas to renounce the part of its platform that calls for the liberation of Palestine.

The European leaders already aligned themselves with the Zionist entity and claimed that Hamas risks international isolation unless it renounces the use of violence (Liberation). Also like President Bush, they have ignored the Zionist violence that is taking place against the Palestinians.

The Democracy that Bush wants for the Palestinians has failed. It failed because it is strange and alien to them. It means suppressing their desire and hope to live in their ancestral homeland that belongs to them since time immemorial.

Hamas will enjoy the support of the Palestinian people as long as it does not deviate from the liberation of Palestine, the historic Palestine that stretches from the River to the Sea.

The Palestinians who are living in the countries surrounding Palestine and in the Diaspora were excluded from participating in the election. This is wrong, they are part of the Palestinian people and they have the right to take part of the destiny of their country. They must have some representative to defend their right and their aspiration of liberating their land. They are more than six Million people and I am one of them.

The United States and the European Union must realize that you cannot silence the voice of truth and the Palestinian people have spoken.
