Hamas is a honorable resistance movement: Israel is the bully occupier!


With all due respect to the people of Israel, the Zionist influenced government has violated all past peace accords including the current one with the Palestinians - a non-state and occupied people.

Israel is the only nation to have violated so many past treaties and Geneva conventions as evidence the 60+ UN condemnations against it. And the BBC Poll stating Israel least liked country. Israel just killed a 17 year old girl in the West Bank and continues to terrorize the Palestinians living there in order to colonize their land.

Israel is also the only country to unsupervised have nuclear weapons.

Hamas, meanwhile, has the right to resist same as all other resistance movements - American Colonist, Judea Revolts of 67AD and 132AD, Civil Rights movements, women’s suffrage, etc.

The true victims are the Palestinians living under a cruel onerous and abominable occupation according to Nelson Mandela, Jimmy Carter and the world.

Think about it!

Hamas is an 'honorable resistance movement??'' They threw some of their own beloved Palestinian people off the roof of a building. I agree that Israel and the US contributed to this situation, but so did Iran and Syria. Let's not be naive about the plight of the Palestinans. They knew full well what electing Hamas would mean to the peace process.

Angel it is much easier to blame anyone but yourself for your woes. In the case of any group facing peril it is rare that they should not take some burden on themselves. The Palestinian people have not had a fair shake. I will agree with that. At the same time they have done little or nothing to help their own situation. They blame Israel and the US but never themselves. In this case it is only them to blame. While you blame Israel and the US the FACT REMAINS that this is Palestinians killing Palestinians in a crisis created by Palestinians.

They have armed themselves and created a culture of violence and hate where problems are solved by blowing things up. Who would expect any less when they have internal strife. They will solve those problems the same way they always have. . . With violence.

Islamic hatred turning in on itself.

Once I saw a video of sharks in a feeding frenzy. One shark, a large one, actually got so wouund up it twisted around and bit a huge chunk right out of its own side!

An amazing video. Hamas in Gaza is that shark.

Islam = Insane

It is a religion of peace and harmony among men!

As long as they are dead.

Jushea, you just confirmed everyone's worst fears about Muslims. Hopefully you are just another deranged Baptist.

is that your answer to all of our world problems? 'get rid of the Jews'?
i dont understand what the 'jews' did to ruin lives over in the middle east. They've tried negotiations and offerings of land back that was taken during while defending themselves. but ppl in the middle east keep getting greedy, and see those signs as weaknesses. now the 'jews' are a very resiliant bunch. look what they've done in middle east with not support around them. Now, Palestinian ppl are surrounded by numerous fellow muslims and they have nothing to show. over 80% of their population depends on UN aid. can they not look within and see problems? or is it just easier blaming the Jews for their life problems? Take ownership of your issues and resolve them within.

The ignorance of the facts here is indeed appaling. The Palestinian people are unfortunately puppets of surrounding Arab nations and the corrucption of their own leadership.

Israel has a right to exist, period. The place for negotiations is at the table. Suicide bombers, while an irritant to Israel, will never change anything. Hamas believes in achieving its goals by death. They will not prevail.

Just a little bit of knowledge of history will show that Israelis have been more than willing to seek peace with its neighbors. Why is Jordan and Egypt thriving, while the Palestinian peole are not? They could be as well. Cooperation is the key. It is high time for moderates to stand up and have their voices heard.

As to the anti-Semites here, your absolute ignorance is a disgrace. At least take the time to infrm yourself!

from what ive heard, the Fatah is what is being favoured by the West over the big bad wolves of Hamas. However, majority of the ppl do not trust or support Fatah, they are corrupt in every way. Hamas is trying to lay down order, within Palestine,but their overall ideology of wiping out Isreal is unforgiving to the west. Both sides are dealing with all issues incorrectly. i do not support one over the other. however, i do support constructive talks at negotiations on peace. Isreal is wanting peace. its in their best interest, but not at the cost of security. Hamas, Fatah and other factions target any moving body part in Isreal. Isreal on the ohter hand, does targeting killins of these terrorists. they want violence to stop without casualties on both sides.

You dichheads have your sheets wrapped way to tight??? Probably causes you to distort the facts. The HamASSes shoots rockets at innocent people in Israel, Then Israel comes back and attacks the people that shoot the rockets, but they are now hiding behind women and children. If the women and children get hurt it is the Israelis fault??? The HamAsses never hold any responsibility??? They are the eternal victims. Even now this whole crisis could have been avoided. Yet it shows that they are not capable of peace, taking care of themselves, or even taking baths. What a bankrupt race they are........Why don't they eat their AK-47s. That is the only thing the need as they recited over and over.
I have just reviewed the causalities from Hamasses recent little fight against the Fatah...More people were killed and wounded in the last month by the hamass butchers then by Israel in a year. Does the Hamass help the Israeli EVER?? The HamAss motto is to kill everyone. How sick are they??????? VERY!!!!!!!
