Institute reconciliation by integrating society under a single unified secular state and leverage will immediately switch from militarism to negotiated political solutions. One undivided democratic state is the only solution.

filth: They're victims of a brutal occupation fighting back the only way they can.

The origins of the movement known as Hamas go as far back as the 1936-1939 Arab revolt and began as an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Also, nothing justifies blowing yourself up in the middle of a café filled by innocents.

I hope you're joking. The only way states can survive is through nationalist borders. The differences between Israelis and Palestinians is irreconcilable - the only way that either will be happy is with a two-state solution.

Can't Hamas shut the fark up just once?

"If you don't give us what we want, we'll kill someone." I'm so tired of hearing their variations on that line.

Are there any Palestinian leaders over there who DON'T have shiat for brains? And if there are, could they please step forward and take the microphone from the kids, please?

People who advocate the one-state solution realize fully well that this will lead to a bloody civil war where 10x-100x more civilians will die than they have in the last 60 years, and that this will at best lead to a situation where Jews will be a minority in an oppressive Islamic dictatorship controlled by Iran through its Hamas and Islamic Jihad proxies.

They just hate Israel that much that this is a fair cost to see it destroyed.

So what justifies the Israeli land grab and illegal occupation of the West Bank?

 
TappingTheVein 2009-03-19 03:25:54 PM  
Nice to see that they have time to threaten with all their stealing of aid meant for civilians and brutally torturing and murdering their own people.

Also i wouldn't recommend playing music and singing in weddings around Gaza. Hamas has a problem with that for some reason.

Do you really want to go that far back when discussing terrorism in the Mid-East? Hamas didn't blow up a hotel filled with its own people while dressed up as the enemy. Israeli terrorists did.

 
Tatsuma [TotalFark] 2009-03-19 03:26:25 PM  
Also, I think that Gilad Shalit versus Hamas prisoners shows a very good example of differences between Hamas and Israel, and who has the moral highground*.

Today at the Jerusalem Post, legal experts are saying it's very unlikely that the Supreme Court will agree to the Government's demand of curtailing the rights of Hamas prisoners. What rights are we talking about?

The committee established a subcommittee made up of representatives of the Attorney-General's Office, the Israel Prisons Service, the IDF and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), which will consider curtailing Hamas and Islamic Jihad prisoner privileges.

According to a statement put out by the Justice Ministry, the subcommittee will consider reducing the amount of money allotted the prisoners for their personal needs, reducing their television and radio rights, curtailing visitation rights, limiting their ability to study for high school diplomas or university degrees and limiting physical contact with visitors.

Sheetrit described conditions for security prisoners as "VIP summer camps" and promised that if the law prohibited worsening those conditions, he would work to change the law.

Sheetrit said that in the material he had reviewed prior to the meeting, he found that even those jailed for multiple life sentences were allowed televisions in their rooms, connection to cable broadcasts, newspapers, cell phones, meetings with family members, the Red Cross and attorneys, as well as the opportunity to earn university degrees.


Unlike what's happening right now to Shalit, they are allowed time outside, time with their family, the farking internet and cable tv, the opportunity to get University Degrees, seeing the Red Cross, attorneys, etc..

They are treated in a better way than many of Israel's poorer citizens who do not have access to some or most of these things.

Un-farking-believable.

/* I know, I know, anyone who has the smallest amount of common sense and isn't blinded by hatred and bias already knew that, but still

Lebanon is a secular state, and look who's now part of the government.

The arabs living in the territories do not want a secular state, if they democratically vote for an Islamic one, you'll stop them from creating one?

So we can count on you to prevent them from turning us into Dhimmis if we become a minority? Gee I feel safer now, maybe we should entertain that idea.Democratic Secularist Omnivore: So what justifies the Israeli land grab and illegal occupation of the West

Well, the refusal of the partition plan, then the declaration of war in 1948, the 500 terrorist attacks and refusal to acknowledge Israel's right to exist from 1948 to 1967 and then the 1967 war.

Apik0r0s: Do you really want to go that far back when discussing terrorism in the Mid-East? Hamas didn't blow up a hotel filled with its own people while dressed up as the enemy. Israeli terrorists did.

We can start talking about the pogroms that originated before there ever was such a thing as the Irgun or the Haganah, too.

I have absolutely no problem with non-Jews living in Israel. I have a problem with Israeli citizens who want to dismantle the Jewish state.

All the Druze, Russians and Arabs who want to be part of the Jewish State are more than welcome to be part of it, and I'll more than gladly buy in their shops, share tea with them, and live in happiness and peace as neighbour.

So locking someone up for throwing rocks at Israeli bulldozers is fine, as long as they have some basic amenities? How is the view from that moral high ground?

Except that Israel is not holding strictly Hamas in prison. Although I am sure you would like everyone to believe so.

Interesting piece from Reuters today:

Israeli soldiers break ranks over Gaza war (new window)

"Israel's military was rocked on Thursday by Gaza war veterans' accounts of soldiers' killings of civilians and allegations that deep contempt for Palestinians pervaded its ranks.

"The soldiers, alumni of a military academy, gathered last month to discuss their experiences in the 22-day Israeli offensive that ended in January, a campaign that Palestinians and human rights groups have said warranted war crimes probes.

"Disclosing details of the session, the institution's director said the soldiers pointed to an atmosphere within the military of 'unbridled contempt for, and forcefulness against, the Palestinians.'

"'They talked about unwarranted fire on Palestinian civilians. There was also talk of vandalism to property,' Danny Zamir, head of the Yitzhak Rabin pre-military programme, told Israel Radio."

...

What the fark is wrong with you? I'd never pretend that Israel is holding only Hamas members in prison, there are members of other factions, members who acted against the IDF on their own, etc...

I made a comparison with the way Hamas members are currently treating Shalit, and that's the best you can come up with? BMulligan: Interesting piece from Reuters today:

Not exactly interesting, seeing as many of the soldiers were reached by other newspapers for confirmation, and these soldiers said "Uh, I wasn't even in Gaza, I was talking about rumours and hearsay I heard"

Remember, Haaretz is a newspaper whose editor proudly said they lie and cover up facts in order to advance their political goals.

No, no, secular is just an anti-Semitic plot to do away with the Jewish state. Because there's no possible way that anyone anywhere is simply fed up with the bullshiat from all sides.

As someone who has an ear close to the ground in Israel, I'm sure you'd know that lots of people work for Hamas that have nothing to do with the 'military' wing.

So they hold this guy incommunicado, not even letting the Red Cross visit him. They threaten him as part of negotiations. Both are violations of international law.
Just waiting for the Hamas cheerleaders to explain that away like the way they dismiss targeting civilians.
