Eleven militant Palestinian groups based in Syria warned on Sunday against a "concession and compromise" policy ahead of a possible round of direct talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
The message from the groups, which include Gaza rulers Hamas as well as the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine factions, appeared directed at Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Abbas is under pressure to enter direct negotiations with Israel, after months of U.S.-brokered proximity talks between the two sides.
Damascus-based Hamas politburo chief Khaled Meshal said Sunday that the factions' representatives issued the statement after discussions held at his house in the Syrian capital and that they rejected all forms of compromise with Israel.
The U.S. and the "Zionists," the statement said, were "aiming to wipe out the national rights of the Palestinians and to cover up the practices of the occupation, settlement expansion and Judaizing the land."
Abbas has said he will not agree to direct talks with Israel without a complete halt to settlement building, agreement on final borders and a timetable for a deal.

I think its time to go ahead and build a 13 story christian center / church in Gaza, Bagdad,
Tehran, Kabul and Islamabad
let em build the mosque and get em at their first "convention" and send them all to the new GitmoMosque
Sounds good! How about an even bigger, taller Jewish Synagogue in the heart of all of those cities. Where's all that Islamic tolerance now? There is going to be a bad backlash from cramming this down Americans throats, you can be sure! It's only being, right now!
