Believe in Hamas - They tell the Truth: Operation Cast Lead: Mid-East Conflict: Israel 2010: Hamas Fatah Fighting.
The Trojan Horse Hamas:
Believing Lies : Disbelieving the Truth!
(2010 Additions)
In February of 2006 I wrote an article entitled: "Hamas, Israel's Trojan Horse", which was inspired by peace overtures made by Hamas to Israel, and the essence of which was that there is no such thing as a Palestinian Peace Treaty with Israel. I made my point quite clear, that what Hamas were saying was a 'Crock' - total BS.
During the last 15 months the world has persisted in holding to it's ideological blinkers, preferring to believe in what the idiot Political Correctness followers and mentally deficient intelligentsia claim to be, an achievable peace between Israel and Palestine.
Despite what we constantly see and constantly hear uttered by the Palestinian representatives, Western idiots never cease to deceive themselves into believing that they are hearing and seeing something other than what is actually taking place in front of their eyes.
In February of 2006, Hamas made it quite clear that they would provide Israel with a respite if Israel would just give into certain demands. Only a respite was offered - not peace! Throughout these last 15 months nothing has changed in Palestine. The Palestinian people still suffer (at the hands of Palestinian thugs); education, public works and sanitation are shaky at best (because all the money is being spent on arms and warfare); democracy is just a farce, (because the thugs won't allow the Palestinian people their democratic right to earn a living in any way which resembles a western lifestyle - internet cafes, newspapers, cell phones etc); the Palestinians are still the victims of Israel and America (despite the fact that it is America who provides most of the funds that keep the Palestinian state going); and finally, the Palestinians are suffering because the terrorist state of Israel is not the slightest bit interested in recognising a Palestinian state in return for a respite from attack.
It used to be that the Palestinians told bold faced lies and the idiots pretended that they believed them. Today however, the converse is true. Today the Palestinians speak the unadulterated truth, and we don't believe them. Zahar: Koran forbids recognizing Israel
Former PA foreign minister Mahmoud A-Zahar of Hamas said Friday that recognizing Israel contradicts the Koran, Israel Radio reported. In an interview with a Hamas-affiliated Web site, A-Zahar said that Hamas had not given up on the principle that all of Palestine is Muslim land.
The man is obviously lying, because as we all know, the Palestinian leadership consists of patriots who love their people and will do anything to see that the Palestinian dream of statehood, peace and prosperity will come to pass.
Who was it in the Bible who said: 'I've done away with the truth in my life! Follow thou me!' Whoever it was should be shot. That statement has led a whole generation of Christendom into a completely idiotic way of living.
Late News. The American International School, one of Gaza's best private schools, (founded 1995 with 600 students) has been bombed with no casualties.
Dr. Iyad Saraj, chairman of the school, said whoever was behind the attack was an "enemy of the Palestinian people." "Our message to them is that we have decided today to challenge, to educate our children and to have a new generation that can liberate Palestine through education," he said.

According to an Israeli army spokesman, Palestinian militants fired three projectiles. The aircraft "fired at a vehicle carrying the rocket launching cell shortly after they had fired rockets at the town of Sderot'', he said.
Militants in the Gaza Strip regularly fire rockets against Israel, despite a ceasefire agreement reached between Palestinian groups and the Jewish state on November 26. Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniya of the Islamist Hamas movement condemned the Israeli attacks and called for Arab leaders to intervene in order to stop Israel's attacks and its boycott of the Palestinian Government. "We call on the Arab leaders to urgently intervene in order to break the Israeli siege on the Palestinian Government and answer the Israeli aggressions against our people,'' Mr Haniya said.
How bloody unfair that Israeli's kill those of us who, despite a peace agreement, continue to fire rockets on the Israelis.
Every year at this season we're urged to beat our breasts in agonizing contrition and atoningly exclaim a collective "pardon us for living." Pardon us for being Israelis, for founding a Jewish state and defending it despite incessant efforts to annihilate or drive us out. Pardon us for daring to exist like other nations, on our own turf, where our own language is spoken - where our customs, holidays, celebrations, lamentations and memories take center stage. Pardon the abnormals' desire for normalcy.
Kuttab disingenuously omits mention of the bloody battles Arabs instigated to sabotage the UN's 1947 partition resolution (which they now want implemented) and of seven Arab armies that invaded neonatal Israel to destroy it on the day of its birth.
They got their just deserts. We only "created the problem" by not adhering to the Arab script for our demise. We gallingly repulsed the concerted Arab attack against us, though we were tragically outnumbered and outarmed. That's our one and only cardinal offense. So pardon us for living.
the Hamas Charter, buttressed by the statements of its leaders, makes chillingly clear where the group stands on Israel’s future. Listen to the Economist editors: “If Hamas means what it says, it continues to reject the idea that Jews have a right to a national existence in the Middle East.” If? Could Hamas spokesmen be any clearer? Take the Palestinian prime minister: “I tell you with all honesty, we will not recognize Israel, we will not recognize Israel, we will not recognize Israel.” Or the acting speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council, who, in a television address in Arabic translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, thundered: “O Allah, vanquish the Jews and their supporters … O Allah, count their numbers, and kill them all, down to the very last one.” These statements don’t leave much room for layered interpretation, except, perhaps, in the minds of those who chronically ascribe to the terror groups’ benign motives and the power of redemption, which, of course, are belied by the facts.
Feb 2008 update
Egypt looking for four terrorists Egyptian security forces were looking for four Palestinians on Saturday who slipped into the country from the Gaza Strip the previous day and were suspected of planning suicide attacks against resorts in the Sinai Peninsula, a local security official said.
The search follows the arrests of 15 Palestinians over the past few days who were caught carrying weapons and explosives in the town of el-Arish, located some 35 kilometers from the border, and other remote parts of the Sinai desert.
The border breach came several days after Israel had imposed a complete blockade on Gaza, with Egyptian backing, in response to a rocket barrage from Gaza on the western Negev.
'Over our dead bodies' : As far as Mubarak is concerned, the Gaza Strip, which has been nothing but a curse to all those who tried to govern it, should return to being Israel's problem.
With The Legal Foundation and Borders of Israel under International Law (Mazo Publishers, Jerusalem) Canadian-born Israeli constitutional scholar and lawyer Howard Grief has given us a book that shatters every myth, lie, misrepresentation and distortion employed over the 61 years of Israel's existence to negate the sovereign rights of the Jewish People to their national home.
The Legal Foundation lays bare two dominant myths that have shaped popular perspectives on Israel. The first is the fallacy that Jewish sovereignty over the land of Israel was the joint product of the 1947 United Nations Partition and the May 15th, 1948 termination of the British Mandate for Palestine. In fact, as Grief points out, Jewish sovereignty in Palestine had been validated under international law 28 years earlier. "The legal title of the Jewish People to the mandated territory of Palestine in all of its historical parts," he informs us, was first recognized on April 24, 1920 when the post-World War I Allied Supreme Council (Britain, France, Italy and Japan), meeting in San Remo, Italy, "converted the 1917 'Balfour Declaration' into a binding legal document."
a second major misrepresentation of Israel's international legal status - the erroneous assumption that the Partition Plan and the May 1948 termination of the British Mandate somehow erased the Jewish People's rights to Palestine in all its historical parts and dimensions enunciated at San Remo, and implemented under the terms of the League of Nations Covenant.
The presumptive cancellation of those rights, Grief submits, is thoroughly discredited by "the principle of acquired rights," codified in the 1969 Vienna Convention on the "Law of Treaties," and the "doctrine of estoppel."
IN THESE PSYCHO-POLITICAL circumstances it would be very gutsy to aim to win instead of insecurely trying to conciliate an in-your-face uncooperative "peace partner."
We blabber about "occupation" without asking by which line Arabs demarcate areas where a sovereign Jewish existence might possibly be accepted. Is it the 1949 line? 1947? None at all? Does "occupation" refer only to territories we have held since 1967 or also where Jews settled in 1870?
what could one expect from a committee created by the ineptly titled UN Human Rights Council, which is dominated by rogue regimes like Iran, Syria, Somalia, Libya, Cuba and Liberia? Some of the leaders of the member-states would qualify as candidates for prosecution as war criminals. The council's principal common denominator remains an obsessive hatred of Israel, which they condemn more frequently than all the other 191 member-states combined.
In fact, since its inception in 2006, 26 of the 32 resolutions condemning human rights violations passed by the council were directed against Israel. It should also be noted that this UN "human rights" body declined to investigate the monstrous brutalities inflicted on civilian populations in Chechnya, Sri Lanka and Sudan. Indeed it went so far as to bizarrely thank the Sudanese government, the perpetrators of the Darfur massacres, for its "cooperation."
