Now Hamas is in power - not because the Palestinians are a bunch of crazy fundamentalists, but because the Palestinians, many of whom are Christian, desperately wanted change, and Hamas was the only electorally available alternative.

There are hardly any Christian Palestinian Arabs in Gaza (a church was burned last week, in fact, by arsonists), and the number in Judea and Samaria is dwindling fast as Muslim-on-Christian repression is growing.

Hamas was not the only available choice, but the fact remains that the Arabs voted for Hamas, and never created the situation for viable, non-violent, non-Jihadi alternatives to flourish. Hamas rules by the sword and the gun. Intimidation is the name of their game.

Don’t you think Hamas was making a point by throwing Fatah members off of roofs last week? And stripping Fatah men naked and them shooting them in front of their families in the street?

That’s called Palestinian Arab politics.

Palestinians have had the courage to elect whom they believe is capable of snatching their rights from the jaws of the occupier.

How many Jews were living in Gaza when Hamas was elected?
—————————

Beginning with the immoral embargo imposed to not only punish the choice of the people, but also the people for their choice. With a dramatically increasing rate of families living in demeaning poverty, almost 65% in Gaza, such an embargo is stripped off any moral justifications.

It would be immoral NOT to embargo Hamas. There is so much aid money flowing into Gaza that Hamas spends on explosives and RPG’s and Kassam missiles. Screw the people of Gaza who voted for Hamas. That was their choice and imposes absolutely no obligation for freedom-loving people to support them for that decision.
————————

America will continue to ignore the fact that resistance has become a way of life for Palestinians, that resistance is not merely a phase of its struggle against an illegitimate occupation.

Arabs will continue to ignore the fact that Jewish resistance to genocide and aggression has become a means of survival for the nation, and IS but one phase of the eternal renewal of Jewish sovereignty in Israel. Peace will come, but not by capitulation to Arab genocide and violence.
——————————-

Resistance is an idea, and ideas do not die.

Jews will resist the extermination philosophy of Hamas and Israel will live and prosper long after Hamas is only footnote in history books.

Palestinians have had the courage to elect whom they believe is capable of snatching their rights from the jaws of the occupier. Yet is seems the Palestinian National Authority is next on the list of elected governments targeted and perhaps overthrown by American foreign policy, more specifically by its tools in the region. Beginning with the immoral embargo imposed to not only punish the choice of the people, but also the people for their choice. With a dramatically increasing rate of families living in demeaning poverty, almost 65% in Gaza, such an embargo is stripped off any moral justifications.

From day one, Hamas continued to call for a unity government, although it received no real power from Abu Mazen. Hamas offered a 10-year seize fire, it adhered to a unilateral cease-fire for 18 months, and yet these actions found no echo from the international community and world media.

Another cynical step attempted by America was to supply the architects of destabilization with money, weapons, and advice, to purue the American agenda in Palestine. The recent events in Gaza that have restored security for the first time in months, have been repeatedly been described as a coup. Ironically, it is Abbas who has unlawfully replaced the winning government lead by Ismail Haniyeh with a new Fatah- lead government (the losing party in parliamentary elections). All of this under harsh circumstances Hamas withstands, beginning with the threat of assassinations, to the economic embargo, to the imprisonment of many of its parliament members! 

America will continue to live under the delusion that it can cast away the will of the people, that figures such as Mahmoud Abbas can be propped up indefinitely in the face of an eager urge for change. America will continue to ignore the fact that resistance has become a way of life for Palestinians, that resistance is not merely a phase of its struggle against an illegitimate occupation. Resistance is an idea, and ideas do not die.

If anyone thinks that Arabs and Zionists will ever live side by side in peace, they are fooling themselves.
The occuppier and the occuppied can never treat eachother as equal humanbeings, let alone friends and citizens of the same land.
What needs to happen is for Palestinians to have their land back, the whole Palestine.Israeli’s should leave to their origianl countries e.g. Russia , Hungary, Britian etc.
The 4 million Palestinian refugees should return to their land.
It needs only a little education to know that Zionists aided with American and Europe occuppied Palestine unlawfully.
Reverse that mistake, and the Middle East will nourish and prosper.

‘Enough, Mr. Olmert, it’s time to tear down your walls and give Palestine back to the Palestinians’.

The Jews of Israel ARE the “Palestinians”.

“Palestine” was a name invented by the Romans 2000 years ago when they occupied Israel and tried, unsuccessfully, to remove the Jewish identity from the homeland. Before the re-establishment of Jewish sovereignty in Israel in 1948, Jews from say, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv were called “Palestinian”. It did not mean “Arab”.
The local “Palestinian” Arabs are ethnically Egyptian, and Jordanian.

Keep the fence, Olmert, until the local Arabs stop trying to slaughter the children of Israel. The good news is that the fence is working.

The way to solve the Palestinian problem is for the US to elect a human, liberal ‘Ronald Reagan’ as president, someone who will stand eyeball-to-eyeball with Olmert, and say, ‘Enough, Mr. Olmert, it’s time to tear down your walls and give Palestine back to the Palestinians’.

Here is a link to an article about U.S. and Israeli plans for a coup against the Palestinian government. http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/Story/0,,2108926,00.html

I think that Jews gobblin’ up the “Palestinians” thing is definitely true. Those Jews man, always causin’ trouble. It’s what I was always taught, them Jews ain’t nothin’ but trouble.

I can really picture those large-mouthed Jews just gobblin’ up all those poor “Palestinians,” eatin up all their babies and everything. It’s just sad, really, that more people don’t know about the poor “Palestinians” and their fight with them Jews.  That they eat the babies, too, the poor “Palestinian” babies.

And that 22% thing is probably true, too. I once got Jewed out of like 75% of my rent, and I was supposed to get 10% off in the first place. I bet those Jews won’t stop until they get 100% of the “Palestinian” babies for their ritual sacrifices.

I just wish those fat cats down in Washington would stop helping them Jews so much. We should be helpin’ the Arabs, because they is got alls the oil. Who cares how they treat their women, each other, or us Americans? Who cares if they worship a culture of death? We should talk to ‘em and help ‘em because they’re just tryin’ to kill some Jews.

Problem is, the Jews control Washington too. Those darn pesky Jews is everywhere you turn. Sometimes they’ll jump out of dark alleys when you’re walking alone at night. “Jew! Jew!” they yell.
